Empire of the Wolves


This is somewhat a collection of Luc Besson's characters in an alternate universe...Mathilde as a psychiatrist, Nikita as a lost woman with amnesia, and Leon as a dirty cop.

Wonderful Electric


I have this image of Ewan McGregor's character in Trainspotting, injecting a fresh dose of heroin in his vain, and in pure delight, expresses his satisfaction to his audience of friends..."it's good. it's so fucking good...(slipping into euphoria)"

Well, that's what Black Cherry is now after the tremendous high from the Supernature album, the Wonderful Electric DVDs, and quite a number of CD singles and extras that this addict has begun to acquire at such a junkie-ngly alarming rate :)

It is sooo good I've been holding off on getting Felt Mountain (the last one unaccounted for) for fear of running out of this much addictive drug. I'll have to do my best to squeeze every amount of Black Cherry first....before finally succombing to Felt Mountain.....then maybe a new album will be on the horizon.....I hope....please Alison? please?

The old crew's back!


Rich Aurilia's back, Barry B's back, Russ is back, JT's with the organization again, and the latest news is that Rob Nen's coming into the Giants organization as a special assistant! I'm really happy to see these guys back, especially JT and Nen. Now if they could just get Woody (Kirk Rueter) back in, that would make this reunion of the old crew much sweeter ;)

Flightplan

Like so many people before me (I think), I wondered how they could possibly expand this whole notion of a missing child in an airplane and make it into a movie. Well.....that's where a subplot fills the void :)

Jodie Foster did a really good job switching from one persona to the next. It's a study on character: starting out as terrified, annoying, and aggresive to borderline insanity to smart, courageous, and mother-protective of one's young (she becomes Ellen Ripley in the end of course ;) ).

Goldfrapp


After I heard Pilots and Lovely Head, I said to myself that this was pretty much it....they couldn't possibly get any better. And then I heard Black Cherry....ok....well, past that I don't know....

Enter the Supernature album.

The album is a drug. It starts out strong with Ooh LaLa, Lovely 2 CU, and Ride a White Horse. Then the brainwashing starts with You Never Know and Let It Take You. By the time you get to Fly Me Away, consider yourself assimilated. Slide In and Koko keep you addicted. Satin Chic welcomes you to the fold. Time Out from The World....well, yes, but don't count on ever coming back ;). Number 1 keeps you in wonderland. And how would you describe this whole experince: Beautiful.

Should you decide to take on this assignment, get the CD/DVD edition of Supernature...truly worth every penny.

Now if you will excuse me.....I need to get back to my hypnotherapy :)
