Keeping with the movie references of my bandmates, I thought I’d post a couple of movies that I recently saw. As most of you know, I absolutely love seeing a good film, and sharing my thoughts about it.
The other day, I had a friend over and we watched “Zombieland” and “Michael Jackson’s: THIS IS IT”. Both were great movies. My friend made the joke that we were “having a night of Zombie Movies”…I know…tasteless, but it made me laugh.
Anyway, Zombieland was about our world in the not so distant future taken over by Zombies, and what would happen if we were the last few surviving humans. The cast was great, and of course Woody Harrelson was hilarious as always. This movie made me ponder on what it would be like if I were in their shoes, with nothing left but my guns and my car, struggling to stay alive in a post-apocalyptic setting with Woody Harrelson as my Zombie-killing partner. The entire movie, Woody was intent on finding himself a twinkie, because it reminded him of better times. The main message of this movie was “Enjoy the Little things”, which I try to do every day. I always appreciate a good comedy that has a deeper underlying message to it. I give this movie an A.
THIS IS IT! was a very motivational movie documenting Michael Jackson’s last moments at rehearsal for what was to be his final live performance. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is in the performance industry, because it really shows us what we are all striving to be. As much as I like to joke about MJ’s personal exploits, you really get to see how amazing of a musician he really is, and when I saw that, it made me want to strive to be that good of a performer/musician as well. There were a few times in the rehearsals where he could have pulled the usual Diva card and yelled someone out, but he always maintained his composure, and dealt with everyone he worked with as if they were family. This shows us that no matter how famous you are, you don’t have to be an asshole. I give this movie an A as well.
With that, I leave you with a new tasty tidbit in the world of The Scarlet Paradigm. We made it onto AbsolutePunk’s “Free Music Friday” series. Check out the link below, and you’ll see us there in the EP section.
