I'm Still Here

These are just some quick updates, this has nothing to due with that movie.

I am back at school and have been super busy with classes and the crap that you have to do at the start of every term. So that is why there has been little activity for the last month.

I went to see USS at the Bomber, which they described as one of their top 5 gigs. It was quite intense and I really feel sorry for the few security guards who had to keep everyone back from the stage/platform. I have to submit a review of this for an assignment in one of my courses, so once that is done and submitted, I will post it here.

Since I have very little time to keep up this blog and my other blog (prolesec.blogspot.com), I have thoughts about joining them and Sicum Reviews posts will be identifiable by tags and/or posted by name. If you don't like this idea let me know.

Soundtracks

This weekend I went to see two movies, The Social Network and Resident Evil: Afterlife. I had completely forgotten about hearing that Trent Reznor would be doing the soundtrack for The Social Network. When Atticus Ross and Reznor's names appeared in the opening credits, I immediately recalled hearing that and my expectations increased. For those of you who don't know Atticus Ross, he has worked with Reznor on several projects and is part of How to Destroy Angels. Reznor and Ross didn't disappoint, I really enjoyed the music during the film. And the movie was pretty good as well. If you haven't seen the movie yet or just want to listen to it anyways, there is a five track sampler available for free download.

If you really enjoy rock music that you will love the soundtrack for Resident Evil: Afterlife. I have yet to find the full soundtrack, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The music was very fitting. It was eerie rock and at times built up quite epically. The closing song by A Perfect Circle, "Outsider (Apocalypse Remix)", will give you an idea of the style of music used in the film. I'm not sure if the music was all original or just a collection of instrumental versions of songs. Nevertheless, I want the soundtrack when I can find it.
