This Week In Media 9/24/13 

Image description


Somehow it’s almost October already. While we still have to wait another week for ‘Gravity’, and last week provided us with ‘Grand Theft Auto 5’, this week is nothing to scoff at.



New This Week



In Theatres

 


Rush


A rare appearance in the States for Formula 1 racing. I haven’t seen it yet, but someone I know did and she said it was really good. But she did say that it wasn’t nearly enough about racing itself, and she’s not even a big racing fan. However this film is sitting at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, by the top critics, and it is directed by Ron Howard, so yah it will be worth watching by any and all movie fans.



Don Jon


What the hell is this movie? Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars and directs this film, that I’m assuming he put together solely so he can look cool and hang out with Scarlett Johansson. I will say that movies like this, that seem odd and utterly pointless, seem to turn out to be good movies. And somehow I have reached the point where I trust JGL. Crazy how far we have come since ‘10 Things I Hate About You’.

 


Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2


The first one was really good, this seems like just another money grab geared towards kids. Regardless I will be seeing it when it’s on demand or on Netflix.



Tunes


 

Drake - Nothing Was The Same


Do people still like him? When I was in college he was blowing up. Since then I have weeded out the people forcing bad music upon me, so I have almost no intentions of listening to a single one of his songs.

 

Elton John - The Diving Board


Is this guy really still churning out poorly written songs?

Kings Of Leon - Mechanical Bull


I can’t be the only one that wishes more animals would shit on the Kings of Leon right like a bunch of pigeons once did right?


Metallica - Through the Never Soundtrack


Unfortunately the Metallica movie won’t be out for another week, but the soundtrack hits shelves today. I have been a Metallica fan for some years now, and while some think of it as darker heavy metal, I view them as one of the few good rock bands left. And one of the few bands that still actually play instruments. While I could do without some of the lyrics, the guitar riffs they have put together over the years are incredible by themselves. The IMAX rock concert film releases next week and I will be in line for that one.

 

Sammy Hagar - Sammy Hagar and Friends


While Sammy Hagar is far from the most popular rock legend, he does employ some of his buddies to help out with this album. From ZZ Top to Kid Rock to Toby Keith, this album is going to be a fun listen especially if you enjoyed Slash’s recent work.


Willie Nelson - To All The Girls


I love that Willie is still churning out some old school country tunes. Even if they are barely listenable.


Video Games



FIFA 14

Pro Evolution Soccer 14


Was there really a point in time where someone complained about FIFA so much so that they decided to come up with a new soccer video game? I didn’t think so, but that’s the world we are living in now. One NFL game and two soccer games.



TV



Eastbound and Down

Homeland


Both of these are fun shows to watch. Neither would be considered great by anyone but both are fun. However, both are run by idiots because their season openers will be going up against the Breaking Bad finale, in other words… nobody will be watching them live.



Since I've Last Written



Doug Lives Minis


Doug Loves Movies gets it’s own mini feed. If you enjoy the rental car episodes now you can get them all in one place and it seems as though a separate feed has opened Doug up to provide even more of them.



Ray and Lorenzo


If you listen to the Carolla network at all you probably know Ray. His partner Lorenzo Neal is an all world NFL fullback. He is one of the best that played the game. He and Ray preview the upcoming NFL slate and hand out some of their best picks. If you are looking for another good, funny, sports podcast, this is it.



Breaking Bad


Just the best show ever and it’s almost over. I am almost speechless at this point, this Sunday is going to be epic.



Grand Theft Auto 5


As with Breaking Bad, expect a full UFR of this. This game is an absolute 10. Speaking of, I need to get back to playing it so thanks for reading.
