First Album by Pebbles, The - CD
The Pebbles are a fun, all-girl garage band from Japan. They are no where near as frantic as The 5.6.7.8.s but what they lack in aggression they make up for in their amateurish DIY charm. Many of their songs are inspired by early Beatles recordings, and, in case your ears couldn’t pick up on this, they drive the point home with the cover art and their song, “We Love the Beatles.” Not the most memorable garage rock out there but definately worth a listen.
The Incredible Hulk
Yet another superhero movie to bore me. I admit, this one was more watchable than Ironman. I guess I am more attracted to the underdog, “man on the run” plot. As usual the movie is pretty good until they interject the ridiculous CGI superhero crap. Why not just make this entire film an animated feature rather than subject us to these unnatural CGI creatures?
Anthropophagus
For a movie that is so infamous for its gore, there certainly isn’t much to see here. The shock moments aren’t really that shocking once you see them. For the most part I found myself bored, especially with the overly long first act. There are a few moments of nice 80s cheese, but that’s about it.
