Song of the Week

I still haven't seen the Batman movie, but there is one thing that has fascinated me about it so far...the soundtrack. Usually, I put up a song that has written lyrics, a chorus, bridge, and so on. However, the soundtrack captivated my attention in such a way that I would not forgive myself if I didn't share it with those who read my blog.

I don't know what it is about the soundtrack, but it's just simply fascinating. The Dark Knight Rises had big expectations to fill for many moviegoers, especially after its Marvel rival released what many claim is its greatest movie so far, The Avengers. Without even watching the movie, I am impressed with Hans Zimmer's work on the soundtrack. Every single note for the song was carefully and keenly picked to fit the soundtrack of the movie. It is simply perfect for the movie, as it captures the darkness of Batman and those in Gotham City while displaying the magnificence and splendor that accompanies a superhero/action movie. 

After listening to a few pieces, it's made me look forward to watching the final part of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Yes, I have high expectations, but I'm really looking forward to see how the soundtrack and the raw film itself comes together to make one of the greatest works of film in the 21st century.

Guess Who's Back?

So the Florida trip is officially over, I am back in Texas! Yeehaw!

Anyways, I'll try to post a few pictures that I took during the trip there and maybe blog about some other things that happened while I was down in Florida. 

So until the next post, I've got some unpacking and catching up to do. More blog posts will come in the next few days. Be sure to check out my Twitter on the right (if you're on the desktop version) and follow me on twitter!
