Law Abiding Citizen and some Music

Reading my title, I immediately thought of the titel of the film "Pride and Prejudice..... and Zombies". That is a real film (I am not shitting you), and it will be finished in 2011.

But although Pride and Prejudice and Zombies will be a very cool film (it has to be, with a name like that), I will talk about the film 'Law Abiding Citizen' (IMDB 7.2. And I won't spoil too much).

I saw this movie a couple of weeks ago, and I must say, this movie is one of the better ones I have seen lately. For example, I saw a small part of 'Shutter Island' (IMDB 8.1) , and it could not entertain me at all! Truth be told, I haven't watched the whole film yet, but I am not excited to watch the rest of the film.

But now unto 'Law Abiding Citizen' (LAC). For me, LAC belongs to the better Action/Thriller films. Because this is not some lame movie with Jean-Claude van Damme, or Steven Seagal, or a movie you just watch when you want to see some explosions and gunfire. No this is a movie in which (once) things get 'horrorish' to a point I almost did not want to watch, but didn't go too far. It stopped at the right moment. And for the thoughts behind the killing, they went beyond the usual action movie where someone wants revenge for something, and just kills everyone.

(SPOILER->) One thing that does bug me about this film, is that we never get to know why those men killed his wife and daughter. Why the fuck would they do that? Of course, the story is not about why they are killed, but still. Maybe some sort of open question, to squeeze a sequel out of it? I don't know, but I didn't like it. (<-SPOILER)

Oh and as a last comment on this: Jamie Foxx rocks, so that's also a plus.

The music that I wanted to write about is music from the Japanese 'Akeboshi'. I think all the Anime/Naruto fans will now go "Duh, that shit is off the hook" (or something like that), but I didn't come across Akeboshi until recently I saw on MSN that someone was listening his music. Well, to all who haven't listened his music yet: I can recommend Akeboshi. For when you're in a laidback mood, Akeboshi is the right artist for you. His Japanese English which you most of the time do understand (which is a miracle), and his Japanese lyrics which you probably don't understand, are both very nice to listen to. The piano, drums and other instruments (I believe a panflute as well) on top of that are creating the laidback atmosphere. 'Wind' (the Naruto themesong) and 'Night and Day' are one of my favourites right now, but his other songs are good as well.

Akeboshi - Wind:

Last but not least, if you have anything to say (Like/Didn't Like) on the subjects of Akeboshi, Jamie Foxx, Law Abiding Citizen, Shutter Island, or even Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, let me know in the comments!
