Rihanna – Diamonds

The lead single off of Rihanna’s seventh studio album Unapologetic, the video for “Diamonds” seems to mirror the chaos the personal life of the singer and her tumultuous on-again/off-again relationship with abusive boyfriend Chris Brown. The soulful but melancholy song isn’t a stand-out comparison to the performer’s earlier work, but the video does a good job matching the ballad to interesting imagery including the singer running down a dark road to nowhere, floating alone in an ocean, and in the middle of a destroyed hotel room slowly being put back together through reverse photography.

(They Sunk My) Battleship

  • Title: Battleship
  • IMDB: link

battleship-posterI don’t know the history behind how this movie based on a Hasbro board game got made, but I have an idea. I’m pretty sure director Peter Berg must have found himself at a Hollywood party where the alcohol was flowing freely and he stated emphatically that Michael Bay was a hack and anyone could make one of his movies. Battleship, I assume, was his attempt to prove this point.

Even for a movie based on a board game, Battleship is dumb. In fact it’s incredibly, inexcusably, mind-numbingly dumb. And for a film filled with explosions, big budget special effects, and alien attacks, the film is neither all that exciting nor enjoyable.
