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.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have had a resurgence the past two years with the latest cartoon. Now we get a new live action Turtles movie. I actually enjoy the Turtles so I’m looking forward to this one. Check it out below from the “CBN Trailers” channel through YouTube:
For those looking for a literal adaptation of the Noah story I don’t believe this will be it. The director and writers took artistic license with the story. I believe the press is now saying the core story is still there and it’s meaning. If you are interested it comes out this weekend. Thanks to ‘MOVIECLIPS Trailers” channel on YouTube for the following trailer:
Eilidh has a really good quality voice for the rocker scene. With that said, I wonder if she has the intensity and drive to back it up. Her song “Hold Steady” seamed to drag a bit, I was waiting for the kick and it never came. Her style reminds me of something Jack White would put out. The difference between the two is that Jack always has something interesting going on with either the vocals or instrumentals at all times. Eilidh’s song seemed to fall flat and became a little repetitive to me. I am very interested in where she’ll go and how her music will evolve.

This is Just The Beginning of I love the soul feeling I get from the first notes, it instantly puts me in the right mood. I love the lyrics and voice quality of Joe Collins’ voice. It reminds me a bit of the 50s when he spreads his vowels out more and goes into his higher register. The instrumentals aren’t lacking either. The percussion is to die for and the bass has a great feel to it. Every part is solid and works together like a well oiled soul train. I’m definitely going to be listening to this group more often. -April B.

DEBUTED THE THEME SONG FOR THE FILM “MANNY” AT THE FILM’S SXSW PREMIERE
+
COVER OF MICHAEL JACKSON’S “MAN IN THE MIRROR” FEATURED ON GREY’S ANATOMY LAST WEEK!
Cameron The Public, a high-energy pop-rock band fueled by the relentless ambition of singer/songwriter Cameron Rafati, will debuted their theme song, “Face Your Destiny” from the Manny Pacquiao documentary, “Manny.” The film will premiered last Saturday, March 8th at SXSW. The video for “Face Your Destiny” was shown directly after the film.
Additionally, Cameron The Public’s cover of Michael Jackson’s “Man In The Mirror” was featured in the March 6th episode of Grey’s Anatomy (ABC). The track was produced by J2 and is available on the ABC website.
Cameron the Public has a nice sound. The “Face Your Destiny” track for the Manny Pacquiao documentary is a great inspirational type of song to get you up and face what life throws at you head on. The “Man in the Mirror” cover has a different feel (much slower), but has no less impact. Check out the YouTube video below, from “Manny Pacquiao Movie” channel, for “Face Your Destiny”- Richard

“Dark Is Coming” streaming LIVE on AMERICAN SONGWRITER
“Dark is Coming” is a beautiful song. The instruments have a nice beat going and with Rachel singing in a soft voice the instruments don’t over power her. A very clean and crisp song. Those looking for a more relaxed style of music will definitely enjoy Rachel. So take the time to check her out and tell your friends about her. – Richard
