MTV Unplugged: Alice in Chains (1996)
AIC Unplugged- great
In a dim room, filled with candles and lava lamps, sings Layne Staley, his voice wavering on high notes and the climax in a song, and Jerry Cantrell, with his guitar, taking over the vocals at times, helping Layne to remember some lyrics. Layne is clearly suffering from drug addiction,showing from his weak voice and black eyelids, barely opening. On the best songs his voice is like what it used to be, deep and strong,like on 'Rooster', a tale made by Jerry Cantrell on his Vietman vet father, but that is not most. The show reveals a new song, never released on a CD, filled with melachony and endlessness. But there comes to hopeful and lighter songs, like 'No Excuses' and 'Heaven Beside You', which relieve you of the burden of such heavy songs before. When in the beginning of 'Sludge Factory' Mike Inez and the drummer play the beginning of 'Enter Sandman', the band joke around, and when the credits roll in the end, Layne shouts to the crowd, "I just want to hug you all!", they bring a small sense of hope, which is what everyone needs. Since I'm a huge AIC fan, and I enjoyed this a lot, I give this 10/10.
8 Mile (2002)
Completely Overrated
Before I saw this movie, I had great expectations made from good comments from some of my friends. Oh so wrong! Eminem's acting was mediocre; he was just playing himself. I would like to see another film with him in it not on this subject, before I would give him a full review of his acting. I had seen this kind of plot before, poor guy goes so far and gets rich & famous. They could've used some different actors in this movie, i.e. Basinger could've tried harder. But there is a good overall feeling to it, and leaves you waiting for more at the last scene. This is just my view, and my pals who had good reviews were also worshippers of Eminem (but I don't hate him). 5/10.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Wonderful Movie!!!
This, most definitely, is one of my most favorite movies I've seen. Good acting, great special effects, all made from an awesome book. I love it! The story line goes brilliantly from one another; you never realize the time; and when it ends, you're left waiting for more! Elijah Wood totally enchants me with his eyes and cherub face. Good selection of actors, Ian McKellen does excellently as Gandalf! Without a doubt, I give this exceptional movie 10/10. Can't wait until The Two Towers!
