video review : 28 Years Later

video review : 28 Years Later

This story should’ve taken place 28 Months Later to leave room for the sequel it so blatantly sets up at the end. Not that it matters much. 28 Days Later is a good horror flick that, like most, should’ve been left alone. These sequels simply aren’t up to par.

The plot, like its characters, runs away from the zombies it’s supposed to be about. They’re a conceptual underlining to what has become, even more so than before, a kindred love story. The peak, when the action should be in high gear, is slow and soppy.

audio review : Victory ( album ) … Slick Rick

audio review : Victory ( album ) ... Slick Rick

This is Slick Rick’s first album since the 1990s and, from the sound of it, not much has changed. He still raps like Slick Rick and these lo-fi beats could have easily come from that era. That’s a good thing. The songs are indolently short and the set is short on singing; his most charming musical attribute; but it’s otherwise a proper follow-up to The Art Of Storytelling. Royal highlights include Landlord and Spirit To Fly.

video review : The Kids In The Hall [ Season 1 ]

video review : The Kids In The Hall [ Season 1 ]

This is Season 1 not of the original but the Amazon Original version of The Kids In The Hall, but it should’ve been edited down to one decent episode. The full eight-part set is bloated with filler; comedy bits that aren’t funny. It does bring back the original cast members and theme music, but nostalgia can only take you so far before you hit the wall.
