We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Keanu Reeves is reprising his role of John Wick in John Wick: Chapter 2, out in 2017. This looks like it’s a straight up action film and be for warned I don’t know if his dog is killed again or not. However, you do get a Matrix flashback with this trailer and I know I’m not the only one that does. I liked the first one well enough so I’ll check this one out as well just to see. Anyway here’s the trailer through MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
Ben Talmi, recently signed with Communion Records, is sharing his lyric video, for his single “Play”, with our listeners. This single starts out sounding like a type of lullaby feel to it and then the chorus takes you into a more pop beat, but still at a slower rhythm. When you watch the lyric video, individuals with seizures might be aware that the way the video is spliced together it has kind of a strobe effect. Also with the video, and I wonder if this was intentional because the way the song feels, when you get to the chorus many will see the influence of Sesame Street with the pronunciation shadows. Here’s Ben Talmi’s “Play” lyric video through his YouTube channel – Richard:
Rod Melancon has sent us information about his upcoming tour dates which will be starting October 22 in Austin, Texas. Rod has a mixture of rock/americana in his style of play. So check out the flyer above and see when he might be playing in your area to mark your calendars for an evening of musical storytelling. Here is Rod’s music video for his single “Lights of Carencro” from his YouTube channel again for you to get a feel for this music — Richard:
REN delivers a nice smooth pop single with “Into the Unknown”. The single isn’t over bearing and has a catchy rhythm to it that just flows over the listener. The music video is fun to watch as well with all the color that pops out at the viewer. Very nice all the way around. So be sure to check out REN’s music video for “Into the Unknown” through her YouTube channel – Richard:
Gold Complex gives our listeners a chance to sample their sound with their music video “Backbone”, from their self-titled EP. With “Backbone” the group is playing a fun light rhythm that is supplied by the trumpet and sax giving the single an R&B/Soul feel. It’s really nice to see live instruments actually supplying the sound rather than electronic versions. You even get to see these players in the music video that Gold Complex did for “Backbone”. The video is split between a road trip and studio video. During the studio segments they spotlight the trumpet and sax player. If you are digging them be sure to support the group by downloading their self-titled EP – Gold Complex – from your digital content provider. Until then take a moment and enjoy Gold Complex’ music video for their single “Backbone” through their YouTube channel – Richard:
Gamers and Star Wars fans get ready to add Star Wars The Old Republic – Knights of the Eternal Throne to your collections on December 2 of this year. I wish they would do some animated movies in this style along with the animation they already have. This animated style has more dramatic effect that would be great in movies. Anyway, here’s the trailer from IGN’s YouTube channel:
Netflix has begun streaming the trailer to Iron Fist after it debuted at New York Comic Con. Here’s the trailer from Netflix’ YouTube channel:
If you are looking for a great sounding country single Michael Colton’s single “Won’t Fall Away” will satisfy that itch, from his upcoming California Blue EP. Michael is sharing with our listeners his music video that was produced for “Won’t Fall Away”. The song and music video take you back to a simpler time. The single is basically an acoustical song that allows Michael’s voice to shine through and the music video, to me, is emulating going back in time to his past, with the two young teenagers or even pre-teens and the feel that it was done with an old style video camera and the teens are even using a Polaroid to take pictures. The single and music video are very nicely done so check out “Won’t Fall Away” from Michael Colton’s YouTube channel – Richard:
This one slipped through the cracks here at ComicPop. I was supposed to post this a couple of months ago and then got busy and quickly forgot about it….my bad on that.
