Dead Cheap (Night Of The Living Dead 3D)

This Week In Movies: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (better than I thought it would be, and a lot better than the original), Seven Psychopaths (second time watching it and it's still funny), Not Another Teen Movie (forgotten spoof film that came out around the same time as Scary Movie, still better than the pathetic excuses of spoofs nowadays), The Purge (while I liked the idea and concept, the house invasion setting is a bit of a letdown), and The Expendables (a lot of fun and now I want to watch the sequel again).

I find myself going with a running theme as of late. It started with my drunken recollection of the colour print of Night Of The Living Dead, and then with the disgraceful remake of Day Of The Dead. Now thanks to Netflix I have come across this week's movie; Night Of The Living Dead 3D. In "glorious" 2D. Which means a lot of scenes obviously intended for 3D (hands reaching out towards the screen for example).

Now that I think about it, it's been years since I've seen the first remake of this film (starring the guy who played Candyman), and I must check it out again as not only did I remember like it back then, it was the first "Living Dead" flick I ever saw. So until then this will have to do.

WARNING: SPOILERS

76 minutes later.....

Well, at least it was more of a faithful remake than Day Of The Dead (2008) in terms of its connection to the source material, I'll give this movie that much. Which is established from the very first shot which shows the opening scene of the original film playing on a television in a petrol station. It starts off the same sibling characters in the graveyard, only in this one the brother is much more of a dick, and manages to drive off when the undead first appear.

The opening section of the film also introduces one of the main characters of the movie, Tovar Jr., played by the only name actor from the rest of the cast, Sid Haig (of House Of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects, among others). I got the feeling that the budget for this film went mainly into two things: the 3D effects in post production, and Sid Haig's fee. Which must not be a lot since, after the brief introduction, he doesn't come back until 30 minutes from the end.

While watching this, I was wondering if this film was ever shown in a movie theatre, or whether it was just using the early type of 3D technology which required the old school plastic green and red glasses, which never really worked to begin with. But considering that Barbara ends up in a house with a bunch of stoners watching Night Of The Living Dead on TV, I think it's safe to say what type of people this film is aiming for.

Revenge Of The Spliff (quote from NOTLD:3D).

For the first half of the movie, despite its shortcomings it was at least watchable. The zombie make up is so bad it makes the original Night Of The Living Dead look Oscar worthy in that department. There are repeated shots of the house and the porch which pads this already short movie. Not as numerous as Hansel & Gretel: Warriors Of Witchcraft mind you, but enough to invent a drinking game out of it. Plus it does have a nude woman who turns into a Big Tits Zombie.

Halfway through the film Sid Haig is reintroduced, which at first is welcome as he clearly has more acting talent than the rest of the characters locked in the house. Plus I'm sure the makers of the film want to get the most out of him. Hell even the zombies had more acting talent than the actress playing Barbara. However, it is with the reappearance of Sid Haig that the film gets a little strange. The series of events are as follows:

• Sid Haig explains that it was medical waste he never incinerated that lead to the dead rising.
• An uninteresting subplot where Barbara finds out that the guy who saved her at the beginning, Ben, was a drug dealer, and becomes snooty about it. Given that the undead are chasing them, I think she has better things to worry about.
• This is followed by her brother and her mother "finding each other", in zombie form. Considering that their families troubles were glanced over in the first five minutes of the film, I forgot all about this, hence the lack of any emotional attachment to people I rarely saw.
• Sid Haig then turns into some wannabe prophet as the leader of the undead which comes out of nowhere, but is too confusing to be shocked by this turn of events.
• Barbara gets away very easily from Sid Haig, who is left to the zombies. Strange how he goes on about his "achievement" in bringing back the dead that it never occurred to him that they just want to eat his insides.
• When Ben and Barbara escape the garage, Ben suddenly has a tire iron sticking out of him. He says "I don't understand", and I share his confusion. Maybe it happened in the boot of the car when it went into reverse, but it didn't seem like the force would be able to do that. But at that point the movie is wrapping up, and I stopped caring a long time ago.

Curse Of The Living Dead (another quote from NOTLD:3D)

Verdict?

While the first half was paced okay, the second half just seemed to throw a lot of twists into the mix, some of which needed a little more explaining. I think the major saving grace for this flick is its relatively short running time. Any longer and it would have been a chore to sit through while in a clear (aka sober) mind. Then again when it comes to the second half, a few extra minutes wouldn't have hurt.

Not a particularly good movie, but still has enough stupid moments to warrant a laugh. At time of writing I find out that there is a sequel entitled Night Of The Living Dead 3D: Re-Animation. And wouldn't I know it, it is also on Netflix. So given my run of "Dead" movies lately, there is a good chance that it may be featured on this blog at some point.

And on a final note.....

There was a song at the end credits by a band called Radford, entitled Control. I tried finding it on YouTube and while there is one video found, apparently I can't view it on my side of the Atlantic. So I'm just gonna post this instead, as I haven't heard/seen this in a long time. Don't ask why I picked this.

The Filth And The Fury (Cradle Of Fear)

This Fortnight In Movies: The Avengers (so good I watched it twice, with different relatives each time), Robin Hood (I'm so glad I didn't pay money to see this in the cinema as it was so boring), Men In Black 3 (like the second film; not as good as the first one but watchable), Snakes On A Plane (classic fun film with one of the greatest quotes, courtesy of Samuel L. Jackson), Snow White & The Huntsman (better than I expected, although I'll never look at Kristen Stewart the same way again thanks to her two front teeth), Death Sentence (pretty decent revenge flick, with a very impressive chase/carpark scene), Next (interesting sci-fi related flick that kinda falls short towards the end), The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (I may be in the minority but I find this superior to the Swedish version), The Hangover (not as funny as I once remembered it but still entertaining), The Hangover Part II (I was convinced I put the first film on by accident), Bubba Ho-Tep (Bruce Campbell as Elvis, and a black JFK fight a mummy in a retirement home.....need I say more), Iron Sky (I already wrote about it here), Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay (unlike The Hangover Part II, this sequel tries to keep the spirit while not relying on old gags), Black Dynamite (still funny everytime I watch it) and three minutes of Disaster Movie (I wanted to turn it off after 15 seconds).

As I get back into the swing of things on here after my brief trip away, I have decided to pick a film that I have mentioned a few times on here (that's not Punisher: War Zone). I ordered a second hand copy of this film off Amazon, and while there were some parts towards the end that skipped every now and then, it wasn't enough to make the movie unwatchable. Much like the missing reel off old work prints of films. And what did I choose? Cradle Of Fear.

As I said before, I watched this film while highly intoxicated among friends. One of which hated this film so much she just constantly distracted everyone by talking about how rubbish it looked, and just striking up any conversation going. While I never did figure out what was going on towards the end, it didn't really bother me. So this time I thought I'd try watching it from start to finish on my own.

WARNING: SPOILERS

120 minutes later.....

Well of course it was gonna be rubbish. It has Dani Filth from Cradle Of Filth in a starring role, for crying out loud. The production values are very low, the acting substandard, and the story, well, it's just four short stories loosely tied to an ongoing plot thread. The only other example I can think of this type of film is V/H/S, but even that had more of a budget and decent camera work and effects, despite the fact that it's supposed to be in the "found footage" genre.

Going back to the first time I watched this film, while the film does have its fair share of gore, the scenes I kept making fun of were the "gratuitous" scenes involving women, saying they were important to the plot. So in an effort to stretch this article to a somewhat decent length, I'll just briefly talk about each story, along with littering this blog entry with pictures of certain cast members. Hey, I dig chicks, what can I say?

I'm sure I used this pic of Emily Booth before.

The Demon Seed Story

It's not a bad opener to the film, if a little underdeveloped (as with the rest of the short stories). It also introduces the character of "The Man", who I'll just refer to as Dani Filth as I have difficulty referring to the arrogent little midget as "The Man". Plus it's just Dani Filth looking like Dani Filth on camera. It also gives you an idea to the lack of budget, acting talent and decent script, so you know what you're in for. And with the presence of Emily Booth, it just gives blokes an excuse to perv on women from here on out. Not me though.....ahem.

Important Plot Point: Emily Booth, before her "sex scene" with Dani Filth.

Robbing The Dead Story

This short tale of greed between two partners in crime leading to death is okay to watch, but at the same time drags this film down at a very early stage. It's far fetched even by tacky horror standards, and in connection to the ongoing story arc, has very little relevance. The small connection to it via the crime scene at the end is pretty much a repeat of the beginning of the last story, but without the inappropriate boobie groping by the detective

Important Plot Point: The two thieves having a bath together. Which is even more ridiculous when they're using the bathroom of the old woman that they just murdered.

The Leg-End Story

Now I said that the last story was far-fetched, but this one was tad confusing once I made the mistake of switching my brain on. Not only did I question the likelihood of attaching somebody's leg to another person succeeding, be it compatibility, biologically or even height wise. But I also wondered why the amputee lead actor would feel less of a man without it, especially as he has a hot girlfriend who obviously doesn't have a problem with it. I'm not even sure fully exploring the background, history or character motivations would help this story, so this one is just best to watch while shutting off the logical part of the brain. But I think the sight of Eileen Daly making out with a leg stump would do that automatically.

Important Plot Point: Eileen Daly, while making out with her amputee boyfriend.

Eileen Daly: can't find a respectable pic of her from the film, hence this.

The Sick Room Story

While this may be the most original and memorable of the stories in this collection (despite the disc skipping in some parts), it isn't without its faults. It does have an interesting take on the evils of the internet, albeit dated today, especially when it comes to what a certain type of nefarious person searches for. The twist in the end is a little predictable, but appropriate. Yet I don't know if it's to do with the short story format (or the fact that my brain switched on again), but not only do the lead character's addictive nature seem too hasty, but I don't know how he got away with attacking the woman he had a date with, considering that they both worked together, and no police involvement took place.

Important Plot Point: None. And the brief cameo of what looks like Morrigan Hel in one of the sample videos of the Sick Room site doesn't count, due to the nature of the scene in question.

The Main Detective/Psycho Story

There's not much to say about this really, as it is interspersed among the four stories above, and serve more as breathing space before each one. It does delve into the backgrounds of the two foes, as well as go into the motivations for their eccentricities, but by the time the next story comes around, these are quickly forgotten once this story thread comes back onscreen. However, they're not that intricate to begin with, so you'll still get the jist right up to the very end.

Important Plot Point: The detective groping the breast of the body of Emily Booth during the crime scene at the beginning of the movie. He makes some explanation as to why he does this, but c'mon, it's just an excuse to throw in some laughable groping scene. I suppose the film had to set the tone somehow.

Morrigan Hel: may as well.

Verdict?

While there are some horror fans that may find this amusing, the only group of people this film really caters for are fans of Cradle Of Filth. It's pretty much a feature length flick inspired by their explicit band t-shirts, one of which is currently featured on their Wikipedia page (NSFW especially to those who are easily offended). The film could have done with some decent editing, as the movie tended to drag during its two hour runtime. This could have been achieved by omitting the Robbing The Dead short story if needs be.

However, when in the right mindset, be it under the influence, laughing at badly made films, looking for a bit of smut with your horror, or even a combination of the three, this film can be entertaining to watch. Besides, it's a lot better than River Of Darkness, and it even has a certain scene that would even please those who hate Dani Filth.

And on a final note.....

Going back to the extra long opening paragraph listing all the films I watched in two weeks, one of which was The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Below are the opening credits to the film, which looks like a twisted nightmare version of a Bond film (which is funny considering that Daniel Craig is in the film). Which is also cool because it contains contributions from Oscar winning composer, Trent Reznor (whose main band Nine Inch Nails are playing in Belfast in August).

Words From The Blogger: No Film Entry This Week (Or Next Week)

This Week In Movies: The Naked Gun (classic spoof movie), Primer (while I admire the attempt at a complex story with a minimal budget, the acting and confusing dialogue put me off at times), and Drag Me To Hell (can't believe it took me this long to see this, as it was very enjoyable, even if it was silly at times).

At time of writing I'm in LONDON BABY (to quote Joey from Friends) for the weekend. The purpose of my trip is to to see The Melvins play two shows, with a different set for each gig. Hopefully this trip to London is more successful and hassle free than last year (which I won't go into, incase I jinx myself). Hence why there's no film article this week. For those who secretly follow this blog, other than myself.

So if I was to mention something film related (other than the opening paragraph), I say go and watch Star Trek Into Darkness in the cinema whenever you can. In terms of cinema blockbusters, not only is it a great sci-fi action flick, even if you're not a Trekkie, but it pisses all over the very disappointing Iron Man 3.

Hey, may as well throw in an image from the movie.....what?

And on a final note.....

This is one of the albums that The Melvins will be playing in its entirety during the weekend; Stoner Witch.

Dead On Arrival (Day Of The Dead)

This Week In Movies: The Evil Dead (interesting to see again after watching the remake), The Avengers (still just as great as when I watched it in the cinema, and I still refuse to call it Avengers Assemble), Iron Man 3 (just like Iron Man 2, enjoyable yet can't help but feel disappointed after watching it) and Star Trek Into Darkness (so good that I can't believe it's a Star Trek flick).

After last week's blog post, I was planning to watch the entire Evil Dead trilogy, in the hope that it would inspire me to write a future article relating to the series, including the remake (which I doubt I'll getting around to writing at this time). It was too bright to start watching all three of them, so I decided on watching the first one before going to bed. While going through the American version of Netflix, I saw one film that I've been meaning to check out has an expiry date in two days. And as it sort of relates to the previous article, I thought I would give it a shot.

It's been years since I've seen the original Day Of The Dead, so I do have a vague recollection of what happened in that film. Maybe it's because I see the pros and cons of George A. Romero's "Dead" movies, but in relation to this weeks film, I was actually a fan of the Dawn Of The Dead remake. Before viewing this, I found out that this film (Day) had nothing to do with that (Dawn). Which can be confusing, considering both starred Ving Rhames.

So with no expectations or any knowledge of what people thought of it (although I predicted bad, since  it never got a cinematic release, compared to Dawn Of The Dead), I might as well take the opportunity to watch it before it disappears off Netflix.

WARNING: SPOILERS

87 minutes later.....

You know, I may not have gone to see Warm Bodies in the cinema a while back, but I bet that was a better zombie movie than this pile of garbage. This has to be the worst zombie film I have ever seen, even worse than Diary Of The Dead (of which a friend of mine was so bored in the cinema that she started reading a book during it). At least with that film I did understood what George A. Romero was trying to accomplish, even though it was a pretty poor attempt. This one was just.....poor.

This film only has two recognisable faces, and both of them are poorly misused (maybe three if you include Ian McNeice, but even I had to look up his name). Ving Rhames plays such a minor role that I'm convinced that the makers of this film decided to cast him just to confuse the audience to thinking this is linked to the decent Dawn Of The Dead remake. Considering the lack of acting talent on display (bar Ian McNeice and one actress who went on to star in Excision, from last year's Horrorthon), it was a complete waste of time to misuse one of the film's big names.

The second star is Mena Suvari in the lead role, who is unbelievably miscast as an army officer. Disregarding her looks, I found it extremely difficult in taking her seriously as someone from the military considering her attitude and her height. Not to mention that she doesn't carry a loaded weapon, and when asked why, she says "it's complicated", suggesting that at some point later on it will be explained. But nope, this is never explained, and neither is some sibling rift with her brother involving bikes.

There are plenty examples of shoddy writing throughout the movie, especially when it comes to character motivations. One minute Mena Suvari is a sensitive pacifist who shows sympathy for the undead and refuses to partake in violence. The next minute, she's shooting and running over everyone in sight. The soldier character called Salazar constantly switches from pop culture referencing geek, to a stereotypical pissed off black guy, to obnoxious jerk, to history buff. They're about as consistent as the characters in Prometheus.

I could go on about the other characters, but since they're all dull and unlikable, there's no point. I could mention more about the shoddy writing (when the first bodies were said to be found in a closet, but were clearly hiding behind curtains), especially when the film itself gives up towards the end, as to say "f**k it" (explanation why other people were not infected; just luck). Even the lead up to the final zombie threat was just rushed without any build up (including the dumbest takedown of a villain I've seen in a zombie movie).

But the key factor to this film are the zombies themselves. While they fall into the category as runners, for this film, the faces morph into torn off skin, and they have the superhuman ability to jump long distances and run up walls and ceilings, helped by the fact that their actions are sped up on camera. As a throwback to the original film, there is the idea that the human part of the zombies are hidden away in their mind, hence parts of their personality and logic are still present. Which results in the greatest sin ever committed to a zombie film is the introduction of the "vegetarian zombie".

That's right, a VEGETARIAN ZOMBIE. Which means that he wont eat any humans as he didn't eat meat when he was alive. As soon as this was revealed one hour into the film, I just gave up and wished for it to end. And forget all criticisms about Warm Bodies destroying the zombie mythos in the way Twilight ruined vampires. This film already did the whole "zombie boy in love with human girl" angle, with Veggie holding a torch for Mena Suvari just as he did before he was bitten. And this wasn't aimed at the pre-teen market, but it may as well went along with the love story, as it couldn't have gotten any worse.

Verdict?

Now that I think about it, I don't even remember seeing George A. Romero's name in the opening or closing credits. If it is absent, and I didn't just blink and miss it, then it may as well stay that way. This film fails at not only in its depiction of zombies, but in its link to the original film by title alone, no matter what little references are thrown in (including the horde of machine gun wielding zombies).

I am baffled by how idiotic this film is. Casting, script, logic, character, even the goddamn zombies were wrong. They acted more like vampires than they did zombies, and it would have made sense since the majority of this film takes place at night. It reminded me of Stakeland, where the vampires in that film acted more like zombies. But whereas Stakeland was actually good despite the questionable use of the vampire, this film deserves a bullet to the head for its sheer stupidity.

And on a final note.....

There was only one scene that I found somewhat funny, and that was when the DJ Paul (played by Ian McNeice) threatened to play Celine Dion over the airwaves to torture a soldier who was supervising him in the radio station. It reminded me of something I did in a rock bar years ago. I picked a couple of songs from the jukebox, and when the barman turned up the music while a Tool song was playing, I started laughing. When my mates were asking me why, I said nothing until they found out what the next song was (see below). The barman skipped to the next song halfway through, but I had my fun, and that's all that matters.

B-Movie Double Bill (Crocodile/Night Of The Living Dead)

This Week In Movies: The Incredible Hulk (I always thought this film was underrated, but at the same time I'm glad Mark Ruffalo is now Bruce Banner), Thor (still can't believe this was directed by Kenneth Brannagh, and it's still entertaining to watch.....plus it has Kat Dennings in it), Lockout (second time watching it within a fortnight, if I had the time, this would be the focus of this weeks article), Punisher: War Zone (an excellent film I've been meaning to write about, as I've mentioned it a couple of times here), and The Crow (it has been years since I've seen this movie, and I forgot how brilliant it was).

This week has been pretty hectic for a variety of reasons. Other than the usual work and health issues which I've mentioned before, and also taking into account that it's the long weekend over here. I also went to two gigs, of which are Lordi in The Button Factory, Dublin (which reminds me to watch their film again), and Devin Townsend in The Stiff Kitten, Belfast (which took place on a Sunday, hence the delay in this blog post).

As I couldn't find the time to write an indepth article on any movie, I have gone with the "Double Bill" structure, of which I started doing a fortnight ago, using DVDs I picked up as part of the collection above. My intention with these blog entries is to watch the films in one sitting, and then write about them. Now in the previous one I mentioned of the delay within the second film, but still got through them on the same night. However, in the week that I had, I didn't have that luxury.

CROCODILE

I was staying over at my parent's house on Tuesday, and I planned to watch a double bill of movies over there with them. My mum was interested in what I bought, mainly due to the monster type films, so she chose three movies out of the collection (of which are Return Of The Killer Tomatoes and Octopus).

I watched the beginning of this film, but had to take an important phone call, so I could only catch the last 30 minutes of the film. Even without watching it, my folks were able to keep me up to speed with the threadbare plot. My dad was pointing out the many continuity errors relating to a certain rucksack, and my folks were able to mock the film by how bad it was, but took into account it was a B-Movie after all, so they were forgiving in that respect.

Well, when I told them that this was directed by Tobe Hooper, who has done Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist, my mum said that he should be put down after this. Pretty harsh, but then again I was never a fan of Texas Chainsaw Massacre to begin with. Although I did find the sequel hilarious.

93 minutes later.....

Right from the very beginning, I wanted everybody onscreen to die, even the cute little dog. These people are not only the cliched beautiful but stupid college kids, but they are completely unlikable and unrealistic, in terms of their dialogue, their attitudes and their actions. Not since Quarantine 2: Terminal have I seen a film where I wanted everyone snuffed out within the first few minutes. Which makes them perfectly good Croc bait in that respect.

As for the crocodile itself, there are two versions of it onscreen. One looks like a giant theme park model where victims looks like they're covered in fake blood and stuck between its teeth, and at times used as a battering ram. Other times a terrible CGI model is in place, so I guess the Coca Cola product placement didn't help in that department. Despite these terrible incarnations of the crocodile (not a gator, as the film throws in a few facts about them in a few scenes), I was still rooting for it instead of any of the other dumbasses in this movie.

On a sidenote, this was on TV on Tuesday night.
Maybe I should have checked that out instead.

Other than the continuity errors that my dad pointed out, not to mention the overall stupidity of these jerks, the one thing that left me gobsmacked was that this film is so cheap, it even looks like it's cutting corners. There are scenes where it focuses on nothing, the crocodile is offscreen while doing something off camera, and the editing is so bad, that they took the same campfire scene with everyone in the same clothes, and tried to pass it off as a separate night. And this is directed by the same Tobe Hooper who made some of the most highly regarded horror films of all time?

Verdict?

This film is bad, full stop. But in a bizarre way, that's what makes it watchable, the same way my parents viewed it. Which of course, it's a B-Movie, you know what you're getting into, so the more stupid things you can point out, the better. I guess the novelty of being directed by Tobe Hooper does give an example of how low some directors can go, in terms of quality. But when watched by like minded individuals, or at least a ton of beers, there is entertainment to be found in this godawful flick.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

In the past I planned to watch a double bill with this film first, and another called Creature. But on Saturday, I decided to watch Crocodile first, as I was familiar with it by this stage, and then move onto this. The plan was to watch these films while waiting for some of my friends to come over later on that evening. But a ladyfriend of mine happened to come over earlier than expected, so I had to halt viewing 20 minutes into the film.

As I mentioned earlier I spent Sunday travelling to and from Belfast for the Devin Townsend gig. When I got home I thought it would be the perfect time to stick it on to round off the evening. However, I had fallen asleep somewhere towards the last half hour, only to gain consciousness towards the end of the film.

Just as well that I've seen Night Of The Living Dead before, so I'm able to at least write something about it.....man I never intended for these intros to go for more than one paragraph, but given the circumstances this week, it should give you an idea as to my viewing experiences.

96 minutes later.....

Well, what I got from this particular viewing, other than passing out after 7 and a half pints and a two hour drive back to Dublin beforehand, was watching this film for the first time in colour. I was able to get used to it after a while, but for me the modern day equivalent are films that are post converted from 2D to 3D, some work, other don't. This version falls in the latter, as there were some points onscreen where someone forgot to colour it in.

As for the film itself.....well what more can be said about it really? Sure it does have the standard social commentary that George A. Romero sticks in these "Dead" movies. Personally I never cared much for these messages, which may sound ridiculous to most people reading this. Don't get me wrong I understand them and it is quite clever, but at the same time it can come off as pretentious. Plus I choose to view these films on a simplistic level, which is a zombie flick.

In terms of B-Movies, it's one of the earliest examples of this style, not only in graphic content, but by its cheap aesthetic, given the minimal production value this film had.. Unfortunately the colour version highlights these shortcomings, hence why I prefer the black and white version, as seen above. To me the monochrome feel to it just makes the film that much creepier, and even if the movie had been filmed in colour, instead of just added afterwards, it still wouldn't be effective.

Verdict?

Writing about this film would be as difficult as critiquing the likes of King Kong and The Wizard Of Oz. I tend not to look too deeply into picking apart these films, given the fact that they do show their age. But these can be forgiven due to the fact that not only were these films groundbreaking at time of their release, but their influence on modern cinema can be seen even to this day. This film not only kickstarted the zombie genre, but is one of the most influential horror films of all time.

Double Bill Verdict?

While I didn't get to watch these films back to back, or stay conscious in regards to the second film, if I was to imagine viewing these flicks in a row, it would work well. At the beginning I was going to watch Night Of The Living Dead first, which probably would have helped if I was gonna pass out during Crocodile, as I've seen the last few minutes previously. But I think it worked better to go with the bad "creature feature" first, and then watched something better afterwards.

And on a final note.....

In relation to last night's gig, to round off this hectic week on a Bank Holiday Monday, I may as well listen to this album by The Devin Townsend Project; Ghost.
