Videos

Run this town [Jay-Z + Rihanna + Kayne west]    
           Category: Adult Alternative, Alternative Rock,  Alternative Hip-hop
                    
Only thing i like about this one is the beat, and the following of rihanna's lines:

' Life’s a game, but its not fair,
 I break the rules, so I don’t care,
 So i keep doing my own thing,
 walking tall against the rain'

Not that impressive in the first watch. But, then i watched it a second time. And i think, then, the music grows on you. still don't like the video, and the song. But, i like the music.

Rating: 1/5


Beautiful Ending [Barlow Girl]
            Category: Pop, Adult Alternative

This is a beautiful song. The piano is played delightfully.
The video is made in a fairytale narrative fashion. Worth a watch.

Rating: 3.5/5

Fine [Jaymes Reunion]
              Category: R & B

Don't like the video. But, the song is nice.. :)

Rating: 3/5

Just Ain't gonna work out [Meyer Hawthorne]

              Category: Pop, R & B

The video is a nice idea . The guy carries along a big plastic heart that tells its own story each time it passes hands. Just like a picture can speak a thousand words, the imagery in the video speaks for itself. Nicely done!

Rating: 3.5/5

Saviour [Lights]
            Category: R & B


Beautiful! Love it!! :D

Rating: 4/5

Feel your love [Kim Sozzi]

Good beats. It's a different kind of video; full of shades of blue, maybe suggesting she is feeling the blues due to the distance between her and her love.

Rating: 2/5

The Stupids [1996]


Director: John Landis

Just watched this movie again. I remember watching this movie years back when i was a kid. My sister and I found it really funny then.

It is a very silly and stupid movie, actually, about a very stupid family. The 'stupid' family is so dumb that in real life, people would be left wondering why they haven't yet ended up in a mental institution. I wouldn't say the movie is really good or something to that effect. But, then, it's 'not bad'.
There are scenes which i think are quite nice- like the time when they
think they are dead, and take the garbage cleaner in a planetarium to be God, or when Stanley Stupid thinks of a Bee in his car as 'Drive B'.

It is actually mindless fun. The way it celebrates stupidity is kinda hilarious.
Don't expect too much or take it seriously. Just enjoy making fun of it and you'll do fine. :)
