RIP Adam Yauch (aka Nathanial Hörnblowér)
1964-2012
Sadly, Adam Yauch died of cancer today. You may know him as MCA of the Beastie Boys, but he was also involved in filmmaking. He directed most of the music videos of the Beastie Boys and co-founded Oscilloscope Pictures.
Cinema lost a brilliant director.
The movie adaptation of Doom is terrible and Dwayne Johnson knows it.

Epic. Beautiful. Awesome
Universal Studios’ new 100th anniversary logo.
A much needed update, way better than the last one if you ask me. It’s almost a tribute to the 90’s logo (which was the best overall).
“In Hollywood, more often than not, they’re making more kind of traditional films, stories that are understood by people. And the entire story is understood. And they become worried if even for one small moment something happens that is not understood by everyone.”
In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends.

The Raid: Redemption Review
Imagine if you will a version of Die Hard in which an Indonesian John McClane would enter a tower full of drug dealers armed with machetes. That’s The Raid:Redemption in a nutshell.
The movie has been acclaimed as an action masterpiece by many critics, which automatically caught my attention. In fact, they were talking about a remake even before the movie screened to american audiences. But as the famous philosophers Chuck D and Flavor Flav once said, “don’t believe the hype”. The Raid is nothing you haven’t seen before.
