Colony House played at the WorkPlay Soundstage in Birmingham, and here is what it looked like.
Chasing Happiness is a documentary that follows the Jonas Brothers from before they began to the height of their fame, and then from their breakup to their rebirth. This documentary is full of information many fans might not be aware of: what life was like before the band, the struggles in the beginning, the persecution they faced for their Christian background, and the emotions the brothers held against each other when the band broke up.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King was the third and final film in The Lord of the Rings saga based on the books by J.R.R. Tolkein and directed by Peter Jackson. Return of the King was the most successful installment of the trilogy both commercially and critically earning $1.12 billion worldwide and winning 11 Oscars. The $1.12 billion made it only the second film to ever make over $1 billion and became the second highest grossing film of all time at the time behind only Titanic.
With the Oscars fresh on the mind, I wanted to take a look at the two winningest films in the 91 year history of the Academy Awards: Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Two films that are technical marvels, incredible stories, and box office giants. These reviews as well as others on movies of the past will not be spoiler-free as these films have been out for nearly 20 years. I have decided to do these reviews in order of when the films were released which means Titanic is up first.
Indie pop stars Saint Motel roared into Atlanta Thursday night, bringing with them a high energy and extremely enjoyable show (along with the explosive KOLARS as an opener).
It has now been a week since the tragic accident that took the lives of John, Kerri and Alyssa Artobelli, Sarah and Payton Chaser, Christina Mauser, Ara Zoboyan and Gianna Maria and Kobe Bryant. It was a shock to the world to hear the news, I personally did not believe on first exposure, it took the news of games at Mamba Academy being stopped for me to accept the painful truth. One of mine and the country’s idols was gone, the immortal Kobe Bryant will no longer be sitting courtside with his daughter and protege Gigi, and will not be able to spread his vast knowledge of the game anymore. It is a tough pill to swallow for sure, but there is no need to just think about the sadness of it all, as a people we must look at the good and be thankful for the time we had them. To help do that, I intend to review the Oscar-winning Dear Basketball, Kobe’s epitome of his basketball journey and the steps along the way.
Just Mercy tells the powerful story of lasting racism in the southern United States and how much a few people would do to keep others down. Based on the best selling novel by Bryan Stevenson, recounts the true story of Walter “Johnny Dee” McMillian, played by Jamie Foxx, who was put on death row for a crime he did not commit. Harvard lawyer Bryan Stevenson, played by Michael B. Jordan, takes it upon himself to prove to the courts that McMillian was wrongfully convicted. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, this movie brings a factual recounting of the events faced by McMillian, albeit somewhat slowly at times.
Lilly Hiatt and her crack band played at Standard Deluxe in October. For those who haven’t been to Standard Deluxe, it’s a printer and music venue in Waverly, Ala. about 20 minutes from Auburn. With its funky vibe and primitive folk art furnishings, Standard Deluxe is a haven of nonchalant cool in the tiny southern town.
