US - Movie Review

Get in your jumpsuits and let's tether together because you're about to see double as I review US!

 Us is just a tense thriller from the mind of Jordan Peele a very good interesting film with well acted cast, good script, good comedic moments that don't ruin the tone of the film. creepy as fuck music and visuals to boot. 

Us tell's the story of a family on vacation accompanied by her husband, son and daughter, Adelaide Wilson returns to the beachfront home where she grew up as a child. Haunted by a traumatic experience from the past, Adelaide grows increasingly concerned that something bad is going to happen. Her worst fears soon become a reality when four masked strangers descend upon the house, forcing the Wilsons into a fight for survival. When the masks come off, the family is horrified to learn that each attacker takes the appearance of one of them. It's a thrilling and tense watch despite it's logistical flaws and predictable outcome. 

Peele channels his inner M Knight Shamalan in his new outing simply put. The soundtrack and many moments of the film early on inspire such dread, it gets so tense it's great. 

Us was really good, better than get out but equally as confusing and creepy but my god, soundtrack, acting and story are all really good like and for that i gave US.

8/10

My Top 10 Wrestling Entrance Themes (I'd use if i was a pro wrestler)

So for a bit of fun being as I love both wrestling and music, what 10 song's would I use as an entrance theme? Ever wondered what you'd walk out to?

I'll attempt to name 10 and try to deliver what i'd do for the entrance and if i'd be a good guy with that theme or a bad guy. It's going to be a short but fun list. I want you to do your own too! So let's have some fun and let's play this game! One song per band/artist too just to make thing's have more variety :D

10: Scum Of The Earth - Rob Zombie. 

So i'd be a bad guy with this and just in your face heel but disrespectful to and spit at the floor near people and do a bit of headbanging when i get in the ring. You want an autograph sure i'll sign a picture for ohh no I've torn it up what a shame you lose kid. "Hey, I'm breathing, Hey, I'm bleeding, Hey, I'm screaming, Scum of the earth, COME ON!"

9: Up Around The Bend - CCR. 

Face i'd be a fun time guy, dancing singing interacting with audience dancing with them, moving to the groovin around the bend you know. "Come on the risin' wind, We're goin' up around the bend"

8: Walk - Pantera. 

I'd be a tweener i could use this as both heel and face just a simple badass stroll to the ring. You can't be something you're not, Be yourself by yourself, Stay away from me, A lesson learned in life, Known from the dawn of time".

7: I Will Be Heard - Hatebreed. 

Heel disrespectful in your face aggression entrance. "NOW IS THE TIME, FOR ME TO RISE TO MY FEET!"

6: Square Hammer - Ghost. 

Darkness with lights flashing green as the music kicks in i arrive onto the stage corpse face painted and in long black flowing robes, walking holding an urn to the ring and which when i take a lid off it projects a demon in the middle of the ring as i take off my robe and then i put the urn lid back on and all lights are on as normal and i am ready to go. "Still you call on me for entrance to the shrine
Hammering the nails, Into a sacred coffin, You call on me for powers clandestine".

5: Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode

A pastor like character who is a heel he believes he is holier than thou. "Reach out and touch faith!"

4: It's My Life - Bon Jovi. 

Entrance similar to Jericho's but with led jacket saying its my life scrolled across the back and on my shades. Face entrance happy party have fun. "Luck ain't enough, You've got to make your own breaks, It's my life, And it's now or never".

3: Boom Boom Boom Boom - Vengaboys
Proper face happy dance time to get a great fun atmosphere going with the crowd with a classic slice of cheesy partying tune.

2: Indestructible - Disturbed. 

Sirens blare the lights blaze flashing blue as a spot light goes all around the arena and then it kicks in as i exit through the curtain with a hood over my head. Slowly looking round making my way to the ring. A bit of a tweener this one too. When i get to the ring ropes i pull of my hood revealing my face and get in the ring flexing when it says "indestructible master of war".

1: Wherever I May Roam - Metallica.

Start in darkness with smoke covering and soon as we hit the drums the lights flicker to the beat and we get to the 50 second mark of the song and out i come beating my chest to the beat. I'd encourage others to join in and be a face with this song, singing this song as i walk to the ring and around the ring as the lyrics echo "call me what you will" i will be in the ring and the lights will all light up and the smoke will stop.

So that's my list and i'm sticking to it, for now at least, this has been fun, love to hear yours :D

Stay shiny!

Top 10 Taylor Swift Songs

Buongiorno, how are we all today? 

I know what you're thinking, hang about now Scott this can't be serious can it? It's true, I like more than one genre of music and yes this is a list about Swifty herself and yes i am unashamed to admit I do like her music and here's hoping I won't be killed for giving my opinion of my fave 10 songs by Taylor and for making and publishing this list here. (fingers crossed) :) 

10: The Story Of Us
Kicking off the list is this sweet soft gem. Swift said that she came up with this song following an encounter with an ex at an awards show, at the event, the two attempted to ignore each other, which inspired Swift to compose the song. Swift shine's a lot more when she incorporates her country roots I feel and this is a nice example of it here. 

9: We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
I know what a weird contrast between 10 and 9 but hey this is one I know well from it being all over the radio and music channels and charts overall and hey it's catchy and it's always stuck in my head when thinking of Swift. It's the lead single launched from her Red album and tell's the tale of an ex lover of hers trying to re-kindle their past love but of course it does not work out like that. The song received a Grammy Award nomination for Record of the Year. It also received a People's Choice Awards nomination for Favourite Song of the Year back in 2012.

8: You Belong With Me

A beautiful song here, I always forget about this one and it's only when I have had a heavy Taylor spotify binge lately to come up with this list to remind myself that i know this one from years ago and that it was beautiful then and still is now. Taylor explained to MTV News: "This song is basically about wanting someone who is with this girl who doesn't appreciate him at all. Basically like 'girl-next-door-itis.' You like this guy who you have for your whole life, and you know him better than she does but somehow the popular girl gets the guy every time."

7: Shake It Off
Catchy beat and catchy pop lyrics this song is infectious no matter how many times you have heard it you will still love and sing it's chorus come on admit it haha. The song won Favourite Song at the 2015 People's Choice Awards, and also received nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 2015 Grammy Awards. According to Billboard, it is Swift's biggest Hot 100 hit to date, staying on the chart for 50 consecutive weeks. Taylor talks about how you should more or less shake off that negativity in your life with this track. She wants us to know that she's cool being the only one dancing at the award show, and she doesn't care if anyone makes fun of her, because she knows she's awkward and wants to own it. She's just gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake and she's gonna do her and you should do you.  

6: Blank Space
A song where Taylor embraces the media's portrayal of her love life and turns it on its head basically and she's been quoted as to saying the song has a lot of satire in it. It's one of Tay's catchy songs and that's pretty much why I like it and have inserted it here, it's one i have heard quite a bit and i still like because it's got a chill beat and is catchy to boot. 

5: Enchanted
Taylor said this about the song; "I wrote "Enchanted" about a guy who I was enchanted to meet, obviously. He was somebody that I had talked to a couple of times on email, and then I was in New York and went to meet him. I remember just the whole way home thinking, "I hope he's not in love with somebody." It was just wonderful, that feeling. Like, "Oh my gosh. Who's he with? Does he like me? Does he like somebody else? What does it mean?" I got home and he had emailed me and said something like, "Sorry I was so quiet. I was just wonderstruck meeting you." And so I incorporated the word wonderstruck, into the song as a, "Hey this one's sorta for you." The song is about Adam Young. Apparently he sang the song back to her, adding her name to it and a few minor changes and here we are.

4: I Knew You Were Trouble
A meme made this even more famous and she apparently loves the meme but anyhoo, this one is about a relationship that she predicted is destined for failure but she goes for it anyway. It's a mixture of country pop and dubstep it's quite a unique sound and it's one that I have heard many times since it's release and still like pretty much.

3: Style
This one is often said to be about Harry Styles and sure I see that but it's more so just about a relationship that is in trouble. No matter how often the two fail to form a strong relationship, they continue to be "perfect for each other" in both of their imaginations. Based on their own preferences in the opposite gender, Swift believes they are perfectly matched; they like each other's "style" and they look good/work well together. Taylor has been quoted as saying this is her "secret fave" track on the 1989 album too.

2: Out Of The Woods

Now this is a total hype track aswell as being a very special woman's fave track by Taylor and that woman is my girlfriend, my amazing Keira. Another 1989 track which proves 1989 is one of Taylor's best albums to date am i right? Taylor has explained that the song is about "the fragility and breakable nature of some relationships. This was a relationship where I was kind of living day-to-day wondering where it was going, if it was going to go anywhere, if it was going to end the next day." I have grown to like and appreciate this song so much lately and it's meaning and how much the woman i love is so passionate about this song and Taylor in general she always blows my mind with her knowledge love and passion and for that reason and being a good catchy song this is why Out Of The Woods is clear in the top 5 and overall number 2 on my list.

1: Love Story
This is/was the first song I had ever heard from Taylor going back in time now to its music video release in 2008. The song is basically the tale of Romeo and Juliet but re-imagined with a happy ending and it's also told from the perspective of Juliet. The song and Taylor received great praise by critics and the general population in general and this is what basically got her off the ground and into the famed golden spotlight she struts in today. It was also a commercial success, selling over 8 million copies worldwide, therefore establishing itself among the best-selling singles of all time. It's a sweet song that always pops to mind when Taylor is mentioned I liked her country roots and I would like her to try and do something like that again in future but who knows what will happen but I definitely have a feeling that she'll be back with a new album sometime soon. :) 

Time for some honourable mentions: Our song, Gorgeous, Dress, Delicate, Getaway Car, 22, Picture To Burn, Mary's Song, Welcome To New York, How You Get The Girl, New Romantics, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, Starlight, Back To December, Never Grow Up, Haunted, Long Live. 

So that's my list here and I hope that you liked this change in posting of your regular material that you have been so used to here and i do want to bring new content and try to appeal to a wider audience aswell as satisfying my current audience or to bring them something new. 

Either way I appreciate you viewing, reading, liking, commenting and sharing all my posts. 

Have a lovely day and remember to stay shiny!
