I dont know, maybe some people that will read this will consider it a blasphemy but I was never considering myself a fan of Rancid. Somehow their records never got to me, never moved me in some way to make me love their music although I know that legions of punk hardcore and skinhead kids consider them to be the best band in the world. They have some punk evergreens for sure, but most of their albums were just too boring for me. This new album is their ninth full length with 17 tracks of street punkrock and ska coming your way. On this new album Rancid explores recent political events that were going on in America and throughout the world. The opener “Track Fast” is just that, kinda little bomb under one minute to prepare the listener for what comes next. “Ghost of a Chance” and “Telegraph Avenue” are nice punkrock anthems with the trademark Rancid mumbled verses, barked choruses and all the other stuff which made them so loved by many. For me the best song on this album is unusually long titled “An Intimate Close Up of a Street Punk Trouble Maker” which is fast paced melodic hit in the head. There are some fillers on this album like “Farewell Lola Blue” and “I Got Them Blues Again” but in all this is good album. Somehow I got the opinion that first half of the album is way better than the second half, but thats just me.
This is the second e.p. by this band from Varaždin, Croatia. I can say that the guys are hyperproductive since there is only three months passed between the debut e.p. and this brand new. Senf plays crossover, meaning metal mixed with punk, hardcore and some greasy stoner riffs thrown in here and there for good measure. Dont get me wrong, the music is fast and aggressive, Ivda has a great growling brutal vocals and the guys really know how to handle their instruments because they have all played or play in different bands from Varaždin like Rectal Destroyer, Fajrunt, Alkotest…This e.p.contains 6 songs, one of them being a kind of instrumental intro. The lyrics are all in Croatian language and they are mostly funny or reflecting some everyday shit and problems. The titles like “Sam u krčmi”, “Mašina”, or “Daj” put a smile on your face if you understand Croatian. If not, I am sorry. This second e.p. is an improvement to the first one and I am sure that the full length will rock my stereo for sure. I urge you to check this guys live because they are tight musically and funny as hell. Good stuff! What is better, you can download it for free.
Priča počinje klasičnom dramom između majke alkoholičarke i otuđene kćerke koja traži posao. Nađe ga u Oregonu, u hotelu scenaristički maštovitog naziva, Hotel Oregon. Hotel vodi malo čudna, ali simpatična postarija udovica koja je od pokojnog muža koji je poginuo nesretnim slučajem naslijedila veliko bogatstvo i hotel. Uz nju, u hotelu živi još i njezin poluretardirani sin. Kako to biva, sve bude divno i krasno, a onda radnja krene u suludom smjeru. Junakinju drogiraju pićem, naprave njoj dijete na bizaran scenarističko suludi način i zatoče je u podrumu iz samo njima poznatih razloga. Do tog trenutka film se u potpunosti raspao i kraj filma je vrhunac idiotizma i suludosti scenarista. Totalna katastrofa od filma. Nema gore scena, nema killova, glumci su pretrashy smiješni, a na kraju se pitaš zašto si potrošio dragocjeno vrijeme na ovakav idiotizam.
POWER RANGERS(2017.)
Svi koji čitaju ova moja baljezganja o filmovima znaju koliko volim blockbustere sa superherojima i koliko me zabavljaju takvi filmovi. Power Rangerse u obliku crtane serije nikada nisam gledao kao klinac, ali kada je u kina izašao ovaj film nisam zaista znao što da očekujem. Pošto nisam imao nikakva očekivanja, nisam se niti razočarao koliko je ovaj film glup. Napravljen je očito samo da proda klincima igračke kao i ono sranje Battleship unatrag zadnjih nekoliko godina. Radnja o srednjoškolcima koji otkriju da su predodređeni da nose alienske oklope kako bi zaštitili svijet od zle vanzemaljke je toliko glupa da je puši valjda samo onaj debeli američki hamburgerdžija koji nema pojma o ničemu osim kole i french friesa. Glumci su plastični i nepamtljivi, a negativci, čija atraktivnost uvijek dovodi ljude u kino, su totalno bezvezni i bezlični. Čitao sam da je film neslavno propao, pa srećom neće biti franšize i novih nastavaka.
RAW(2016.)
Kada se ovaj francuski film reklamirao u kinima, pisalo je po medijima da su ljudi izlijetali iz kina koliko im je bilo slabo od gadosti i koliko je film gadan i strašan. E, pa mogli su izlijetati iz kina jedino od dosade. Ovo je ustvari drama o sazrijevanju, seksualnosti i odrastanju i mogla je biti smještena jedino u neka artsy fartsy kina koja prikazuju drame koje nitko ne gleda. Glavna junakinja dolazi na veterinarski fakultet i u nekom obredu inicijacije brucoša natjeraju je da proba meso iako je zakleta veganka/vegetarijanka. Tada počne njen nepovratni sunovrat u ludilo i kanibalizam?! Film je toliko dosadan i spor da gledaš na sat kad će prestati, pitaš se dal da klikneš na fast forward, ono malo nekih kao gadnih i horror gore scena nije dovoljno da te razveseli u nekom širem kontekstu. Francuska horror filmska scena je odlična i dala nam je stvarno neke pamtljive naslove i momente zadnjih 15-ak godina, no ovo je totalni promašaj.
