Listen to SPECTRE’s Theme Song, “Writing’s On The Wall” By Sam Smith!

Posted on by Nick Doll in 007, Movies, Music, SPECTRE

Well, here’s my jam until November 6th when SPECTRE comes out in America!

Like Adele’s theme for Skyfall, titled “Skyfall,” Sam Smith’s “Writing’s On The Wall” sounds like a traditional Bond theme right off the bat. Those strong horns, some sensual singing, and catchy spy-type lyrics. And the undercurrent of the Bond theme interwoven.

Even more than “Skyfall,” Sam Smith’s “Writings on the Wall” sounds like an old-school 007 song from Connery’s era… the last time the super spy had to deal with the evil organization S.P.E.C.T.R.E.SPECTRE Daniel Craig Poster 007

The song follows the two Bond themes preceding ‘Skyfall” in not naming the song after the film (a recent, but not just current, irregularity for the franchise); like Casino Royale‘s “You Know My Name” and Quantum of Solace‘s “Another Way To Die.” “SPECTRE” isn’t even a lyric.

Listen to it now! And keep listening ’til November 6th (if you’re stuck in the U.S.).

Excited for ‘Jurassic World?’ These Videos Will Help Curb Your Appetite

Posted on by Nick Doll in Jurassic World, Movies, Music, Trailers, TV Shows

‘Jurassic World’ is still months away with a release date of June 12th, yet it is the 2015 film I am most excited for (sorry Avengers, 007, Max, and Han Solo).

Jurassic World VelociraptorLike with any giant Youtube video (the ‘Jurassic World’ trailer is one of the most played trailers on the video platform) there are mash-ups, other videos analyzing the trailer, and old people reacting to it.

No old people here! The two videos I got here are better than that (though they could be loosely classified as mash-ups)!

First, be amazed at how close the ‘Jurassic World’ trailer sticks to the source material, in this case, the original 1993 film, ‘Jurassic Park.’

I personally believe the fact that new director Colin Trevorrow is working so hard to duplicate the magic of ‘Jurassic Park’ in a film that harkens back to that original more than either of the other two sequels, including Steve Spielberg directed ‘The Lost World: Jurassic Park,’ is a good decision.

Chris Pratt and his VelociraptorThis seems to be the key with most sequels to decades old franchises this year with ‘Terminator Genisys’ recalling exact images from the original 1984 film and 1991’s ‘Judgement Day’ and ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ bringing back classic ships and characters.

Now that you’ve watched the trailer shot-by-shot ‘Jurassic Park’/’Jurassic World’ comparison, I have an even sweeter treat, especially if you are a ‘Parks and Recreation’ fan.

Andy Dwyer (chubby old-school Chris Pratt) gets transferred to ‘Jurassic World’ in ‘Jurassic Parks & Recreation’ mash-up.

Pretty fantastic, no?Chris Pratt as Andy Dwyer

Finally, as a bonus, I have a blast from the past in the form of this ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic claymation (yay!) music video from his 1993 song, ‘Jurassic Park.’ The lyrics are great, but the claymation seals the deal.

So there you have, 3 fantastic ‘Jurassic World’ related videos to further get you psyched for June 12th’s film starring Chris Pratt and that genetically engineered hybrid.

You’re welcome.
