In which a guy old enough to know better talks about...stuff.
Including, but not necessarily limited to: Wrestling, Metal, Anime, Books, Comics, Cartoons, Stuff that pisses me off, AOR and songs with "Metal" in the title.
Let's keep this simple. If you want to check out some metal music that celebrates Metal itself then keep reading. If you want to read about Macrame then how did you even get here?
Evening all. Blimey, I haven't done one of these for a while but since Easter is a time for rebirth why not resurrect this project?
Before I start how about a quick recap on what this is all about. Not long after I started this blog I began a quest to see how many heavy metal songs I could find on Youtube that had Metal in the title.
Well the last time I checked I'd found 1600 or so (see tab at the top for the songlist) and I'm still nowhere near caught up.
So without further ado, here's a small selection chosen at random. Enjoy.
In the near future, a ship of space explorers crash land on an unknown planet. They're soon met with some of their worst fears as they discover the planet is inhabited by monstrous dinosaurs.
Let's talk about the film title for a minute.
These days Jurassic is movie shorthand for "It's got dinosaurs in it" and never mind whether said dinosaurs are actually from the frigging Jurassic.
The second point is that this film was originally called Jurassic Planet which, frankly, makes a whole lot more sense but unfortunately was too close to a certain big money franchise who could afford lots and lots of lawyers.
Since Planet of the Dinosaurs was already taken ( SEE HERE for more details) somebody decided the next logical step was to go the cosmic scale.
Moving on to the film: Jurassic Galaxy is a perfectly serviceable Sci-Fi survival flick that's let down by the indifferent dinosaurs. On a scale of 1 to 10 ,with Jurassic World being a 10 and Aztec Rex being 1, Jurassic Galaxy falls somewhere around a 6.
Other than that, Jurassic Galaxy has some decent acting, a story that has few surprises but gets the job done and some attempt at giving the characters enough personality to make us care.
Basically we have the sort of film that you'll only ever watch once but might enjoy if you're in a good mood.
If you fancy a low-budget dinosaur flick and don't want a total schlockfest then this might float your leathery-skinned boat.
