Trailer of the Day: Area 407

In “Area 407,” innocent people with family and friends waiting for them boarded a state of the art jet liner piloted by an experienced crew. They had every reason to believe the pilots could safely navigate a storm and negotiate turbulence without crashing the plane to the Earth from 30,000 feet. They trusted them. They were wrong. The small group that survived, some critically wounded, had every reason to believe that help was on the way. After all, technology was their savior. Again, they were wrong. They were wrong because the very people they trusted to protect and rescue them are the very same people who created the hell in which they now find themselves. – ComingSoon.net

Game of Thrones Scene of the Week: Down Goes Yoren

Poor, Yoren…he puts himself out there to protect a couple of wayward children of dead men (in Gendry and Arya) and what does he get for his troubles? Shot with a crossbow and skewered by a broad sword. It doesn’t pay to be nice in Westeros. I’m gonna miss the crusty old soldier. he was good for some seriously funny lines and how he dealt with everyone in the same gruff manner was always something I looked forward to on GoT.

Cover Me Monday: Just

Mark Ronson does what Mark Ronson does best on his cover of the Radiohead tune “Just“. Ronson takes this song, that admittedly is one of the best rock songs of the 1990s but is also not the happiest song in existence either, and turns it into a bombastic mix of oldschool (I love his use of the horn section)  with just the right pinch of newness thrown in. Ronson’s version (with vocals by Phantom Planet‘s Alex Greenwald) makes you want to get up and dance…Radiohead’s version makes you want to write depressing poetry. Mark Ronson feat. Alex Greenwald – Just … Continue reading Cover Me Monday: Just
