• PBR, you win again…

    Not only do you quench my thirst and keep a little change in my pocket but you also host a rocking show.  The PBR concert series has hit St. Louis and you can color me impressed.  For the same price as a case of this delicious elixir I saw an evening full of hip swinging, head banging hits.  While the opening act, Jon Hardy and the Public, failed to live up to my standards I was blown away by White Rabbits (http://tiny.cc/WhiteRabbits51 ).  They totally rocked my face off.  Percussion Gun is their “stand out” song according to the public and most critics but I think it pales in comparison to the rest of their set list.  If you get the chance to see them I highly recommend going.

  • Reefer Madness

    This post is in honor of my little sister Martha…who thinks she doesn’t have anything “cool enough” to contribute to the Bruce.  Thank you for bringing this gem into my life!

    A 1936 Propaganda film that has been dug out of the Library of Congress in the ’70’s.  Has recently inherited a cult following due to it’s comedic value.  This is by no means a “good film” but if you need a good laugh I highly suggest getting a couple of bud’s (pun intended) together and give this a viewing.  Almost too campy to be called a B-movie, this is more in the C-minus catagory.  There is no better discription for the movie than the tag line listed:  A group of teens suduced by the power of “reefer” take a few puffs — and instantly become psychotic killers, jazz addicts and whores.

  • For your viewing pleasure…

    I’ve been on quite the hiatus from movies lately due to my obsession with Six Feet Under (quite possibly one of the best HBO series ever).  But this weekend gave me the chance to catch up with my one true love, here are the fruits of that labor:

    The Son of Rambow:  This movies gives us a view into the life of Will and Lee.  Two boys who couldn’t be more different.  Except for their love of Rambo: First Blood.  This story follows the boys through a summer of fun, misfortune, life lessons and all the good stuff that a PG-13 movie should cover.  One of the best under R movies I’ve seen in a while. 

     BARAKA:  A visual journey across the globe.  Set to “world music” (insert FOTC joke here). No talking or scripts in this one…just amazing cinematography.  There are some absolutely breathtaking shots in this 1.5hr slide show.  When I first sat down to watch it I was anticipating taking a nap (a no talking movie, easy to fall asleep to….or so I thought), I was totally sucked in.  Only disappointing part of the film…no captions whatsoever…if you don’t know where these locations are, you’re not going to find out from this.    Â
