This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Casshern (2004)
When I spotted this at the movie store, I figured it was a slam dunk. A Japanese sci-fi action flick? That's gold Jerry! That's gold! And yet, it left me feeling somewhat, I don't know, blah. The effects are great, don't get me wrong, but after awhile they seem a bit much. Almost everything is some sort of digital effect, save for the characters, and they seemed to lull me into a sort of dazed out boredom. While both the concept and the story excited me, the execution was definitely lacking. Still an enjoyable enough flick but a disappointment nonetheless.
Love, Biff.
This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Andreas Vollenweider - ...Behind the Gardens - Behind the Wall - Under the Tree... (1981)
This guy is probably some New Age hotshot that I'm not aware of, so if I suck for not knowing who he is, I would counter that by saying you suck for knowing who he is. As far as mostly instrumental upbeat harp music goes, I usually prefer mine with a little more woodwind, but hey, you take what you can get, right?! Seriously though, this makes me want to stab myself pretty hard. And he gets my award for most annoying and overwrought album title while simultaneously rocking a sweet spiral perm.
