30 second clips of hard candy!!!!

everyone has been saying this is her new bedtime stories...i think it's closer to being a mix of the first album and erotica. the clips are in shitty quality but they give you a painful teaser of what's to come! i'm really impressed! there's a few crazy vocal arrangement choices but it's madonna's spin on the whole r&b thing. it all sounds really shiny and new and basically a completely new madonna! take a listen!

take a tree

so here's an old ditty by paul robeson. it was originally a poem but then became a song with some beautiful instrumentation and lovely singing. one of the campuses at rutger's where i went to college was named after him but i never really knew much about him. but you'll certainly admit that a certain pop star and her 'urban' producer from the mid nineties must have heard this several times before recording what remains to be her biggest and most successful hit in the states.

the ruins

so i went to see 'the ruins' tonight. my god! what an insane psychological horror movie it was! the tension and the fear transferred beautifully from the screen into your gut. the entire time while i watched i tried to imagine what i would do in the character's situation.

i just found out it was based on a book which i imagine was a very difficult read, but this movie definitely shone because of its visual interpretation.

set in mexico, 'the ruins' follows two couples and a fellow tourist that they befriend along with his friend through a macabre maze of major psychodrama, gore and naive hope. they agree to go on a tour of an old mayan pyramid that has been erased from maps long ago. once they get to their destination, they are confronted with a small group of mayans that still live in the jungle. the mayans prevent the four of them from leaving the pyramid. they don't understand at first why but they soon find out that the villagers want to prevent the monster they soon discover from leaving the pyramid and they will do anything they can to do so.

it's hard to talk about the plot without ruining the story so i'll leave it at that. the commercials are on constantly and i'm sure you've seen them but the movie really takes you on a mindboggling journey, leaving you desperate to find out what is going to happen next. this is definitely a movie i would recommend. i thoroughly enjoyed the originality of the script and admired the performances of the relatively unknown actors. go see it!
