Coward's Corner
Jamie's back with his belated reviews of Believer and Appaloosa
Believer - Gabriel
1989 was believers debut release extraction from morality, When I first heard
this I was what the fuck? Never heard a guitar sound like this. I was hooked.
One year later they make a 2nd release sanity obscure. At this time I was able
to see them live at a small venue in Austin. My first heavy metal show I knew
from that point it would be metal for life. After waiting 3 years they return
with Dimensions. A super budget production with mixed metal with classical
music and voice. Again I was floored at the master fullness of this technical
thrash. Then the worst thing could have happened. The band broke up
the driving force singer and drummer stayed together to produce other bands
music. 15 years later they return. So the question is can they bring the same
metal they created and make it fresh? Would they try to sell out or just lose
there creativity process?
I'm not one for a track by track comparison I'll just say it has grown on me
and they did deliver. They still have there sound and technical skill.
Kurt's voice is the best it has been, and the drumming bows down.
Best songs are Stoned, Redshift, Focused Lethality.
worst song is The Brave,, to commercial. all other songs kick ass I highly
recommend these guys after 15 years they still got the touch.
"My eyes are sewn shut,,, believe"
Appaloosa - Review
I think westerns are a dying breed and when they do make them there not very good.
So when I hear a western with Ed Harris and Viggo Mortenson I think maybe
this could be great. This is Ed Harris second directorial attempt since
Pollock back in 2000. So 8 years later can he pull off a western masterpiece.
Nope,, it was a bad choice of script although he helped write the screenplay. The story was super crap and boring and made only worse by the
acting of Renee Zellweger. I guess since she did well in the civil war movie
Cold Mountain they wanted to give her another film in that time.
Here is the story the town Appaloosa has a band of outlaws led by Jeremy Irons that
terrorizes the town and kills the Sheriff ED and Vigo are hired to stop them
and make order "did we not see this in tombstone and 500 other westerns".
So then Renee shows up out of nowhere and hooks up with Ed then begins a
love story. It goes downhill from there. Check out The Proposition with Guy
Pierce to see a great "new" western. Wait till HBO or cable for this
