filmburrito

David Lynch is a true one in a million.  Much like Quentin Tarantino, he has invented his own cult cinematic universe over the past 40 years.  His films cannot be classified as anything rather than ‘Lynchian’.  Ranging from transcendental dreamlike experiences, mind melting strangeness, surrealistic horror, sleazy tales, humanistic character studies, etc.  Lynchcreates cinema that distinctly…

Birds Of Prey (2020, Cathy Yan) Review

Written By Blake Hall

Birds Of Prey is the kind of superhero film I’ve been wanting to see for a long time.  Much like Jokerdid last year, this is a film that has a strong sense of style and feels like a personable vision from the director.  Since I never really read comic books growing up, I’m usually interested in these films for the way they are told rather than the story itself.  So many…

Rookie (2020, Eric Silverman) Album Review

Eric Silverman will be releasing his debut solo album Rookie on 2/28.  Prior to this, Silverman was the frontman of San Francisco’s Heartwatch.   Here, Silverman was going for a more stripped down and minimalistic sound.  Silvermanis interested in deeper and more reflective songwriting than ever before.  He wants to write music which inspires people within troubling times in the world.  As…

Daydream Explosion (2019, Dollyrots) Album Review

The Dollyrots released their seventh album Daydream Explosion on July 12, 2019.  They will be kicking off a new hot tour on March 17th.

The Case For St. Anger

It’s A Give and Take

Let me start by saying that Metallica has been one of my favorite bands since first hearing Master of Puppetson tape when I was a kid. They are one of the bands that got me into playing music (and starting about 15 shitty metal bands) and helped pave the way for my discovery of a ton of different rock/metal bands that I would not have otherwise found. Not to mention my love…
