Music

nofx-coaster NOFX: Coaster


It’s hard to believe NOFX has been around for 25 years.  NOFX has been delivering consistently good irreverent punk rock over 11 full length albums and a pile of EPs and 7″ singles.

Coaster shows us that they are still relevant today as they were 25 years ago.  This could be their best album yet, and from what I’ve heard could end up being my favorite NOFX album.

From Absolutepunk:

Breezy, lighter and simple, Coaster will give those who’ve never listened a solid base for what to expect as they learn to find the art & pure entertainment/joy in any NOFX record. It might not change the course of music today, but for a band who isn’t U2 or Metallica to remain this vital and successful after nearly 30 years of making records? The real joke seems to be on all those who still have yet to appreciate 25 years of dedication, honesty & consistency.

Buy it from Amazon: MP3 download or CD

Movie Trailer: Lo

Category : Trailers

A friend of mine just saw this film by writer/director Travis Betz (Joshua) called Lo at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival. Here’s what she said:

“Went to a screening at the mpls/st. paul film festival this weekend. Check out the movie Lo—great writing, low budget, but super well done. It looks scary in the trailer but it’s more a dark hilarious comedy”

Movie Review: Laid to Rest

Category : DVD Reviews

Laid to Rest

Rating: ★★★½☆ 

Written & Directed By: Robert Hall

Starring: Bobbi Sue LutherKevin Gage, Lena Headey, Sean Whalen, Thomas Dekker

Plot Synopsis:

Laid to Rest is the terrifying story of a young girl (Bobbi Sue Luther) who wakes up in a casket with a traumatic head injury and no memory of her identity. She quickly realizes she was abducted by ChromeSkull (Nick Principe), a metal-masked serial killer with the money and means to emulate the 1980s Slashers. Isolated in an unfamiliar rural town, the Girl and those who have come to her aid must survive the night and outsmart the technologically inclined murderer who video records his vicious killings and is determined to finish his masterpiece tape featuring “the Girl.”

Review:

With over-saturation of remakes, re-imaginings, and reboots, it’s nice when a little slasher flick shows some originality.  Laid to Rest does owe a lot to slashers of the 80s, however, this low budget flick boasts some fantastic gore and a memorable baddie with Chrome Skull.
