The 25th Hour: Monty Lives In New York; Doyle Is A Dog; Murphy Had A Law

Wed, 18 Dec 2002 13:29:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - This opinion reveals as little as possible about movie's plot.

I must start out by stating that I hate it when a novelist adapts his own book for the screen. David Benioff adapted the screenplay for Spike Lee's new joint "The 25th Hour" from...

Eviscerating Babies With The Organ

Fri, 13 Dec 2002 14:37:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - Who says grindcore is all dried up? Anybody who thought that Napalm Death's "From Enslavement To Obliteration" was the last grind album worth anything at all clearly hasn't heard the new crop of bands that have adopted the Earache method as an ethos...

You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)

Wed, 4 Dec 2002 14:28:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - It's hard to figure out where to start reviewing this movie. It may be that I still don't quite know what to think. I just saw this movie last night I am still trying very hard to puzzle my way through it. I guess that the first thing I noticed was that...

Meet Me Onna Cornah Boy'n Don' Be Late

Tue, 26 Nov 2002 13:35:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - This album is often the simplest of creatures; for a fairly large chunk of it's playing time it is just improvisation by one player or another (most often by Sugar Cane Harris and Zappa). Almost as often the tunes have parts that make me dizzy; they also...

My Feet Are Blistered Raw

Mon, 25 Nov 2002 14:06:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - Imagine for a second that you are standing in a field surrounded by people. These people all have short hair, scrubby goatees, tears on their faces, and not a one can really play their instruments. Then, in the midst of all the clutter, you see four...

KEIN MEHRHEIT!

Tue, 19 Nov 2002 14:42:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - KEIN MEHRHEIT FÜR DIE MITLEID. It means No Pity For The Majority. KMFDM live up to this statement with their uncompromising brand of industrial rock. Incorporating dance and heavy metal influences, KMFDM can be at any given time the least or most...

I Am The Japanese Sandman Take 8

Wed, 13 Nov 2002 18:15:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - The Tech21 Trademark 60 (made by SansAmp) is a remarkable amp. It seams small (at 37 pounds it feels small) but I am always surprised at how powerful it can be. It has an enormous palette of tones reminiscent of the most popular tones out there, yet it...

You Probably Were Raised In A Barn

Tue, 5 Nov 2002 17:18:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - I don't need to write endlessly on this movie. Think, what would happen if someone decided to use a comic book as a storyboard for a movie. Army of Darkness would happen. This movie is an endless series of sight gags and horror movie send-ups that has...

If Anyone's Gonna Kill Him It Should Be Us!

Tue, 5 Nov 2002 14:23:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - Japanese anime is an overlooked field of filmmaking. This is mostly because there are many films in this style that are too explicit for American audiences. For instance, the movie "Ninja Scroll," with it's graphic and unflattering scenes of perverse...

Ripened Agonized Phlegmatic Dypthos

Fri, 1 Nov 2002 16:42:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - I really like extreme metal. I thrill to Origin's hyper speed drumming and Cannibal Corpse's brutality. I love Meshuggah's wall of aggression and Fear Factory's precision assault of mechanical mania. The Dillinger Escape Plan is nothing like any of these...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - The musical career of Steve Vai began in the late 70's when he was brought into Frank Zappa's band.

It's Fast, and Fast again...and Fast Some More

Wed, 16 Oct 2002 15:35:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - The Heavy-Metal landscape is a tumultuous one. There are so very many sub-genres and many people take serious offense to being mis-classified. Yngwie Malmsteen(*ing-vay malm-steen;* who actually prefers to be addressed as Yngwie J Malmsteen, to avoid...

The Land Of The Free

Tue, 15 Oct 2002 16:33:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - The land of free-jazz is a scary place. The boldest of men generally dare not cross the gates to that place where streams and melodies cross paths, and the beat is all in the mind. Sonny Sharrock got his boost into the world of known musicians when he...

Breaking The Genre Barrier

Mon, 14 Oct 2002 12:41:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - Other reviewers have written in opening about the genres into which they believe Opeth falls. I feel a need to state that as an avid student of metal semantics I believe that Opeth cannot fall into any genre. They barrow from many including but not...

Fri, 11 Oct 2002 16:17:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - It should be stated that I am biased towards this album. I stand firm behind it as the greatest album ever recorded(Darkness on the Edge of Town is equal, but entirely differant. They alternate or my number one spot depeding on which of them I am...

The Most Complicated Record Ever

Fri, 11 Oct 2002 12:37:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - This record could be the closest thing to a literal expression of the human soul; cutting so deeply, and peering into the darkest crevasses with a pervasive light so strong as to blot out everything except the giant mass in front of you, the record's...

Self-mutilation with guitars.

Thu, 4 Apr 2002 15:02:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - From the first track, "Stronghold," this version of the Praxis ensemble establishes itself as one of the most vicious bands around. Featuring contributions by most of the band, "Stronghold" rages along at a speedy clip and ends at a neat...

JORGERIFIC!

Thu, 31 May 2001 09:37:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - This movie is very funny, and it is very worth the $14 I shelled out to view it on two separate occasions(when I was supposed to be doing other, less desirable things if you catch me drift. Nudge nudge, wink wink, know wotta meen?). But I still have some...

Great allbum with a weird vibe.

Thu, 10 May 2001 14:44:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - The first thing that must be stated about this album(for the very few of you who don't know, you should be ashamed of yourselfs), is that Metallica wrote none of the music. This double-cd is a collection of cover songs than the band has recorded over the...

Blow me!

Thu, 10 May 2001 14:06:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - Ah what a joyous ocasion it is when I wake up in the morning, leap out of bed, and put on the greatest musical composition ever. Each track is alive with mental and physical disorder, chaos of the highest degree, the biography of the band GWAR. Acording...

The kings of metal release their opus!

Mon, 7 May 2001 13:39:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bondagewound - For anyone who likes their music hard as a a babys skull, you need not apply. This brutal album is the e-pit-o-me of heavy metal. From first song to the last, the fast and the furious rage in an eternal war of punishing guitars, deadly riffs, and vocals...
