Music Review/Reseña de Musica: Trenches by Twenty One Pilots

   Music Review/Reseña de Musica: Trenches by Twenty One Pilots Hi Frankie here and today I will be reviewing the new album Trenches by 21 Pilots. The album was released on 5th of October of 2018 and contains 14 songs of which 11 new songs with 3 already were released before ( Jumpsuit, Nico And The Niners and Bandito) It was recorded between 2017 and 2018. The CD in general uses the band's trademark mix of indie pop, reggae and hip hop while having a generally  sad overtone in the rhythms and lyrics.  This CD in addition uses the screaming resource of  heavy metal to an accentuation effect This CD also has a interesting uses of silence with fade to make the music in between the silence stand out. We start with the heavy over saturated guitars of "Jumpsuit" in which we find the first example of the Screaming technique usually seen in heavy metal.  Then we pick up where the prior song left off and introduce us to the journey of "Levitate" that uses the heavy...

Movie review/Reseña de pelicula:Thomas Crown Affair (1968)

   Hello everyone Frankie here and today I'll be reviewing the 60s classic The Thomas Crown Affair. This movie stars Steve McQueen as the title character and Faye Dunaway as Vicky. This film tells the story of a bank robbery and the persuit of Dunaway's character to catch the mastermind in a cat and mouse game. The film has a thriller vibe with suspence until the very end.  But the thing that for me tells it apart is the clever use of framings as a way to energize a rather slow moments of the film. The use of a revolutionary format that involves squares over a black screen depicting diferent moments of a particular scene at the same time, is used to accelerate rather uneventful but still necessary scenes. For example a scene in which Thomas is playing in a polo match where the director tries to convey that he is rich.

Movie Review/Reseña de pelicula: No se aceptan devoluciones(2013)

N o se aceptan devoluciones Hola La pelicula que voy reseñar hoy es No se Aceptan Devoluciones(2013) de Eugenio Derbez Para la informacion tecnica sigan este link. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2378281/?ref_=ttmc_mc_tt Esta fantástica película trata sobre un hombre soltero al que le traen una niña y le dicen que es su hija. Las aventuras y caminos zigzagueantes que sigue la historia culminan en un problema moral que es resuelto de una forma simple y sublime. Los personajes al principio parecen exagerados pero (quitándole el grado de exageración de cualquier comedia) se vuelven reales y queribles mientras miras como viven sus aventuras. La cinematografía,que es acompañada por los hermosos paisajes en los que transcurre la película, es majestuosa y atractiva. Las composiciones siempre correctas y siempre atractivas nos mantienen enganchad@s con la historia aun en los momentos lentos. Esta es una verdadera historia de amor, pero de un tipo de amor que no es común ver en el cine, el de un p...
