Laser Moose and Rabbit BoyLaser Moose and Rabbit Boy, Book
by Savage, DougBook - 2016
Added Dec 02, 2016
Comment:
This hilarious comic made my day. A trigger-happy Laser Moose is always on the look-out for forest danger, while the good-natured Rabbit Boy takes refuge in Moose's antlers. What more could you ask for? The tale is broken up into four short stories which each present a separate scenario where our two heroes defend the forest from potentially dangerous and destructive creatures including a mutant fish-bear. A comic to be enjoyed by kids and adults alike.This hilarious comic made my day.

One of the most interesting horror films I have seen in years. Minimal and beautifully shot. I agree that the dialogue was a little hard to hear/understand at times, but this is mostly because of the accent and dialect they are speaking in. Most of the film's violence is implied and the acting is superb. Watch it.One of the most interesting horror films I have seen in years. Minimal and beautifully shot.

Siriusmo is quite possibly one of the most innovative electronic artists of his time and has certainly found a sound of his own. He is not afraid to break the traditional conventions of dance music by playing with time signatures, blending genres, and avoiding the ever-so-popular "beat drop." Recommended for fans of Modeselektor, Aphex Twin and Chemical Brothers.Siriusmo is quite possibly one of the most innovative electronic artists of his time and has certainly found a sound of his own.

For anyone who has not heard of Nick Cave this is a wonderful place to start. A bit bleak at times but ultimately uplifting, listeners will be able to relate to the empathetic harmonies within Push The Sky Away. Superb production -- nice headphones are recommended.For anyone who has not heard of Nick Cave this is a wonderful place to start.

Comment:
Musique De Nuit features Kora player Ballaké Sissoko and cellist Vincent Segal, both virtuoso musicians. Neoclassical fusion, West meets East, folk jazz, call it what you will. The interplay of rhythm and melody between the cello and Kora are wonderfully blurred, painting a wonderful and surreal soundscape.Musique De Nuit features Kora player Ballaké Sissoko and cellist Vincent Segal, both virtuoso musicians.

I found that the multiple perspectives seemed a bit tedious at times early on in this series. However, as the show progresses this narrative tactic add to the mystery, as viewers are never quite sure who is telling the truth or whether the truth lies somewhere in between. Great acting- a breakout role for Ruth Wilson.I found that the multiple perspectives seemed a bit tedious at times early on in this series.

More or less a companion to Mitchell's "The bone clocks" but could be read as a standalone. Don't expect realism, but instead a weird, scary & intriguing ghost story. Mitchell's language, narrative shifts and well-crafted characters draw in the reader's attention much like the haunted house he writes about. Slade house attracts unsuspecting passerby's when it appears once every nine years. Recommended for fans of Haruki Murakami & Neil Gaiman.More or less a companion to Mitchell's "The bone clocks" but could be read as a standalone.
