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.
After the last post we need to lighten it up a bit. So for that lets go with an AMV. This one is from AMVFactoryXx simply titled “Up AMV”. The single featured is Olly Murs “Up” that features Demi Lovato and it is edited around the anime Say I Love You. Enjoy from AMVFactoryXx’ YouTube channel:
Mt. Wolf is sharing with our listeners again. This time it is their music video for their single “Heavenbound”. This single is very heavy and the vocals add to that sense of foreboding. The music video tells the story of a man that hasn’t had the best life and is in the process of losing said life in the hospital that he has been brought into with what looks to be a gunshot wound. This is one that you will have to be in the right mood for, it’s not a happy go lucky song, it’s one that draws you in and makes you think about life in general. You can find their new album Aetherlight from your digital vendor of choice. Here’s Mt. Wolf’s music video through their VEVO YouTube channel – Richard:
Have you been keeping up with Rachel Caine’s Great Library series? Book three, Ash and Quill, is set for a July 11 release. Here’s the short trailer through Penquin Books USA YouTube channel:
Yet another remake of an older movie. Will this Flatliners be decent like the first one. They have updated it and changed some things, but the core concept of the story is still there. You have to wonder…why are they taking on Kevin Bacon? I’ll check it out just cause I love horror flicks. Here’s the trailer from MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
Brad Byrd has that mid-range baritone voice that is easy to listen to. With “Highest Mountain” he is working that mix of pop/country, with the pop sound being the most prominent style. It kind of falls in between genres like John Denver’s music did, it’s pop but not quite pop and it’s country but not quite country. For me this style works and I enjoyed the single with the instrumentals and vocals working really well together to fit Brad’s voice. Brad’s music has been feature on The New Girl, Happy Endings, American Housewife, Ben & Kate, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The music video fits the single with it taking place on an actual mountain. It is also interesting that the director used a drone in the mountain’s to get the shots for the video. Here’s Brad Byrd’s music video “Highest Mountain” from his album by the same name – Richard:
In This Corner of the World might be in the style of old school anime, but it looks to be a really well done movie. It is getting an August 11 release in select theaters and then I’m sure it will move into it’s DVD/Blu-ray sales for North America. This will be one that, if given a chance, will appeal to people that might not really watch anime. Here’s the subbed trailer through FUNimation’s YouTube channel:
Resurrection is the 10th book in Derek Landy’s Skulduggery Pleasant Series. This is one that I missed and looks like I will be going back and picking up. It looks interesting and for a series to be at it’s 10th book something is going for it. Here’s the trailer for Skulduggery Pleasant: Resurrection through HarperCollins Publishers Australia YouTube channel:
Black Panther looks to be another fun Marvel movie. Can’t wait to see it next year, but until then we can watch the teaser trailer that we have from MovieClips Trailers YouTube channel:
Dark Horse Comics is giving you some old school feel comics with Reefer Madness edited by Craig Yoe with artwork by Jack Kirby and Frank Frazetta. If you want that blast from the past feel check it out. Here’s Reefer Madness’s trailer through Dark Horse’s YouTube channel:
Miriam Tamar is sharing with our listeners again. This time it is her live performance at the Nest, where she performed her single “Come To Me”. Miriam still uses her voice to full advantage which is pure smoothness to the ear. With “Come to Me” we still get that international flare to her music that places it apart from other pop songs you might hear on your radio. The music video is a live performance so it features Miriam and different members of her band. Here’s Miriam Tamar’s “Come to Me” live music video for you to enjoy, through her YouTube channel, and then you can look her up on your digital vendor of choice for her EP Firedance – Richard:
