Music and Videos...

It is cool that this movie has finally been released on DVD here in the states. I remember as a child, my mother taking me to see this show in Beaumont Texas along the 1980 time frame. I got it last night at Best Buy for $19.99!! Not a bad deal for it. The remastered the movie and soundtrack that was done by Queen. I cannot wait to watch it over my 2 days off this week. I found a copy on the net about a year ago and tried to get it. The quality of it sucked and i converted it to a DVD using WinAVIVideoConverter. The quality sucked even more and i never watched it.

What do you get when you combine the lush electronica band Delerium with the Nashville pop group Sixpence None the Richer? The debut album by Fauxliage. Sixpence singer Leigh Nash has been a guest singer with Delerium, but she now teams up as a full partner with the Canadian band's Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb. The dance beats are dialed down and the melodies have that pop warmth that Nash brought to Sixpence, but the looping grooves and chilled electro-timbres from Delerium remain, especially on tracks like the hook-heavy "All the World." Lyrically, Nash is concerned with love and loneliness for much of the album and tends toward a languid mid-tempo mode that could've benefitted from a few more kick-ass tunes to moderate the mood. It emerges occasionally, like the symphonic electronica cadenza that explodes in the middle of the otherwise wistful "Draw My Life." Despite years in Nashville, there's very little country in Nash's voice, but there is a purity and vibrato-free tone you can hear in country singers from Loretta Lynn to Emmylou Harris. It's a voice that almost demands a more organic, acoustic approach, and Fulber and Leeb provide it, often dialing down the sometimes suffocating synth pads that have marred the last few Delerium releases and replacing them with acoustic guitars and more organic keyboards. Fauxliage doesn't take all of the best from two worlds, but they get a lot of it. --John Diliberto


I have listened to a copy of this and as of now, i am very UNIMPRESSED!! I have followed their career for over 15 years and i have all of their music and many side projects and this is just really bad. Do not expect and of the "old-style" Deleriumish tracks.

"Crank" The Movie...

I know that I am a little behind n watching movies. The wife and i watched this last night. It action was very different than most of Jason Statham other movies like The Transporter 1&2. He still plays the Killer/Professional Hit Man as in other movies, but the acting style is very different.

"Professional assassin Chev Chelios (Statham) learns his rival (Cantillo) has injected him with a poison that will kill him if his heart rate drops."

It seams to be a very plausible story line, "The Beijing Cocktail" sounds real, but the action was very campy, almost like a very poor "C" grade Kung-Fu movie. It started off normal, but his actions during the movie trying to keep his hears beating and wanting to get revenge on his killer made it funny. And with Amy Smart as his girlfriend, she played the dumb blond very well. It was a fun movie to watch if you don’t try to compare it to any of his other films. Some of the events that happen are over the top so to speak like when he was having sex on the street and all the Japanese were watching him, over the top to exaggerate his ability to stay alive long enough to get revenge.

If you want to watch a rock'em sock'em fighting action thriller, then this is one for you, but don’t put too much into the story, but I guess you have to take it for what it is.
