Jane Getter Premonition and PAKT Concert Review

by Al Nigrin
published 2024-09-10

I had a great time last Saturday evening seeing a double bill of Jane Getter Premonition and PAKT perform their respective musical magic at the Williams Center in Rutherford, New Jersey.  I had seen PAKT a few times before but last night they were really on fire. It is no accident that I now call their sound "volcanic music." I will explain what I mean by this in a bit.



New Release Review - "AfrAId"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2024-09-10

While the rest of us try to figure out if Artificial Intelligence will ultimately help us do our jobs or put us all out of work, Hollywood is determined to embrace AI. We've already seen movies like The Creator, Atlas and Alien: Romulus act as stealth AI propaganda by equating fear of AI to racism and xenophobia. One corner of Hollywood however seems determined to exploit our fears of AI, and that's the horror studio Blumhouse. The studio scored a hit with their 2022 AI thriller M3GAN, which likened AI to an uncontrollable tearaway child. With AfrAId, AI is posited as something of an irresponsible parent. That the movie attracted actors of the quality of John Cho, Katherine Waterston and Keith Carradine probably reflects the current disdain towards AI in Hollywood's acting stable.

Horror-Comedy All You Need is Blood screens at the Fall 2024 New Jersey Film Festival on September 14!

by Meaghan Mooney
published 2024-09-10

Cooper Robert's feature film All You Need is Blood is a bold entry into the horror-comedy genre and offers a fresh cinematic experience, blending dark humor with supernatural elements, anchored by the strong performances of the leading cast. The film follows amateur filmmaker Bucky, seeking the mentorship of a legendary filmmaker and ultimately producing a campy, zombie slasher. This delves into human behavior's complexities and intertwines personal struggles with an overarching sense of suspense. A playful and inventive visual style characterizes Cooper Roberts' direction. The vibrant color palette and dynamic cinematography enhance the film's humorous and horror elements, creating a visually engaging experience. The film maintains a comedic tone while making a believable zombie world through quick camera movements and practical effects. Roberts successfully balanced the horror aspect of this film and the comedic elements, with the humor complementing rather than overshadowing the zombie theme. In the words of Dick Boeing, "Is this a comedy?" The film is aware of its genre-bending and balance of the two. The script is filled with witty and clever dialogue, pulls the audience in, and entertains them with a playful score and situational comedy.
