This is the second song I’ve reviewed of Billy Roberts’.
Seen It All Before has a different sound to No More Mr Nice Guy. The last one was more country, but this one sounds more like a garage band; a bit rockier!
But this song still carries the same unique sound of Billy Robert and the Rough Riders, with the same spoken-word kind of singing style.
It’s an upbeat and fun song with great electric guitar parts mixed in with an organ, making an interesting and distinct sound.
The chorus is very catchy! My only critique would upping the energy in the vocals a bit! As the vocals aren’t carrying much emotion like he rest of the instruments.
Looking forward to hearing more from this band!
Jodie.
Director: Ben Affleck
In the first robbery of the film, a masked Doug (Ben Affleck) is calming Claire (Rebecca Hall) who is franticly opening the safe, while the rest of the robbers intimidate the hostages.
I like movies where you’re on the side of the ‘badies’. Kind of like in 
Director: Tim Burton
Nevertheless! This was not a totally predictable Burton tale because it was based on real people and events.
Over 10 years, that lie snowballed into something much larger, where Margaret was lying to her daughter, lying to herself and losing her identity in a dominated relationship.
There were some great scenes, like when everyone’s eyes were like dinner plates in the supermarket. I was mesmerised by how believable Amy Adams is! She is an incredible actress for sure. I could completely understand how blinded she was in her marriage, just by her nervous gestures and mannerisms.
Director: Dale Driver
This is a story about a child, Rosie (Aimee Branson), who in basic terms has Alzheimer’s disease. The mother, Anna (Lindsay Bennett), has a choice: To enjoy the final 18 months with her daughter, or have a procedure that allows Rosie to survive, but with a 99 percent chance of her having no existing memories remain.
But I think this is a heart-warming, yet tragic story. The harsh lighting, score and believable acting certainly carries the emotions across.
Easy listening for the over 25-year-old single or broken-hearted ladies out there.
She has a natural ability to make mundane experiences into hilarious stories, with her subtle expressions and bizarre metaphors.
Each are relatable and lovable, each with pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses. No mood is less important than the other, or more favourable than the other. Which is a moral within itself.
Director: Alan Clay
Having not seen the whole shebang, I’m not sure if the moral of the story is ‘change who you are to make someone like you’, or if it’s ‘be who you really want to be – even if it’s not what most deem to be acceptable’.
Good on the cast and crew!
I really love this track!
I reckon their music would suit movies like 
First of all, I should declare that rap music really isn’t my jam.
The first thing I thought was ‘Nick Cave’. I think it’s David Arn’s gravelly voice and story-telling songs.
These two suggestions are simply to reinforce the intensity of the song. So that the weight of the deep and bold vocals, guitar and lyrics can be fully supported by the rest of the instruments.
It seems I didn’t scare them off!
Director: Damien Chazelle
I’m sure you’ve heard of Whiplash, and referred to it as ‘that drumming film with 
It was like a way more intense and less-uplifting version of Peaceful Warrior. (A movie about a gymnast mentally and physically pushed to the limit.)
I think the only thing holding this move back was its simplicity… Or maybe that aided it… I’m not too sure, but I wonder if Whiplash could have become as disturbing as Black Swan with some more scenes expressing Neiman’s inner emotions..?
This came on the news last night and I am really excited!
These may have slipped your memory because they are from the late 90s/early 2000s. But for some, they are embedded in childhood brains.

I’m basically doing my homework the night before it’s due…

Thank you 
They actually act like adults, studying law and maths! Every movie, I was watching psychologists, mathematicians, lawyers…
Okay, you’re probably thinking: “Jodie, there were huge parties, you just didn’t want to socialise.” Or, “Jodie, we had awesome parties but you weren’t invited.”
Thanks

In the most recent TV show Hannibal, the actors had to eat the food because it had to look legit. You can’t exactly skimp on the eating part in a show about a cannibal! But man did the crew work for it! The dietary requirements of the actors must have been an annoyance. Making it look like everyone is eating the same thing, but some being vegetarian or gluten intolerant or vegan… Phwah! For the love of art, right?
If anything, seeing a character sweat without the make-up shifting breaks my suspension of disbelief. In action scenes like in 
Horse films are typically watched by horseriders, which means the film is going to have a very critical audience right off the bat.
Actors who can’t ride! The studio cut-aways to the actor riding in front of a green screen does not make up for it! (Flicka).
– So much rearing!!
them to buck is much, much harder to do.

However, this was more like a monster sci-fi movie. Giving a nod to Jurassic Park, Space Odyssey (music), 
Yes, you may have noticed I’m using a plural: monsters. IT’S SO AWESOME!
I have referenced this unofficial genre in many film reviews of late, so I thought I should dedicate a post to it. Especially since it doesn’t have a Wikipedia page.
Director: Peter Chelsom
Basically, Hector is a psychiatrist and he finds himself unfulfilled. So he goes on a journey around the world, visiting countries including China and Africa, to find out what makes people happy.
Anyway. I was disappointed because I love

Pike plays the mum, Abi, Tennant as the dad, Doug, and Billy Connolly as the granddad, Gordie.
Nevertheless, the script was amazing. Some fantastic one-liners! For example, the youngest child has a brick and a rock as friends:
