This will probably be the shortest blog I ever write. The bottom line here, GO SEE THIS FILM. If you have not seen this film by now, it is safe to say after slitting your wrists, you should proceed to jumping off a bridge (figure of speech) because you are missing out on one of the BEST films I have seen in my life. This is coming from a Film Major and just all around movie buff. This film is “Poetry In Motion.” Everything from the actors, the acting, the editing, the continuity, the story, the music by Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight, Lion King, Da Vinci Code, Gladiator) the ending, everything. My favorite part is *SPOILER ALERT* toward the end when the girl tells everyone that will “ride the kick” all the way to the top after they went deeper into the dream than ever before. As they woke up, the editing literally showed the “ride the kick” and wake up from each dream sequence all the way to the original place where they started. The way the director and editors turned the dialogue was turned into something visual was the reason of this being my favorite part. The only thing about this film I did not like was the van falling in the water and how they continued to splice it in over and over. There was no need for this. Until told otherwise or the van is shown hitting the water, the audience can assume that it is still falling. There was no need to keeping showing that about 6 or 7 times. Because of that, this film falls just short of perfection. *SPOILER ENDED* In conclusion, PLEASE go see this film. This is the film of the Summer. This is the Best Film of the Year so far. If you can only see one film this entire year, make sure it is Inception.

Today is August 3, 2010. There were new album/mixtape releases by three prominent members of the Hip Hop community. Originally, the only album set for release on August 3 was Houston rapper, Bun B’s 3rd solo album “Trill O.G.” After several weeks of anticipation and skepticism, the other two artists confirmed that they would release mixtapes on August 3 as well. Washington D.C. rapper, Wale had been “missing in action” on his Twitter page for several weeks Tweeting random things here and there. Many of his fans suspected he was up to something. After weeks skepticism, Wale confirmed on Twitter that he had been working on a new mixtape. His new mixtape was listed as the sequel to his 2008 mixtape “The Mixtape About Nothing” and would be entitled “More About Nothing.” The same situation happened with West Coast rapper The Game. He actually started Tweeting under a new Twitter account. His original user name was @iHateGame but his new account is simply @TheGame. As a result some of the fans missed some of his Tweets. So after an account switch and another hidden agenda, The Game was doing the exact same thing. He was secretly brewing a mixtape for his fans in anticipation for his major album release, “The R.E.D. Album” on August 24, 2010. His new mixtape would be entitled “Brake Lights” and was scheduled to be released on August 3 as well. After the 3 projects were officially placed on the same day, Tuesday August 3, 2010 was dubbed “Takeova Tuesday” by numerous fans on Twitter. This was a great day in the world of Hip Hop! All Hip Hop Heads rejoice! 3 New Albums/Mixtapes released on the same day. I think days like this should happen more often in Hip Hop! Artists should come together more often and release great music on the same day. Hip Hop Heads love the idea of Takeova Tuesdays!
