Theme July 12 To August : Retro, Remakes and Remasters

Nintendos Music App: First Impressions

 I have not talked about anything gaming-related on here for a while, and I want to change that, amidst movies, shows, music, or whatever I feel like talking about here, I want to bring video games back on the table (Which is also how this blog started). Something that came out of nowhere this past week was Nintendo dropping a music app for NSO (Nintendo Switch Online) members at no cost. There is no AD model or a premium one, it is just the music as is and it comes with your subscription, so far there is music ranging from current Switch titles to Wii Channels and even the NES. Some Mario, Animal Crossing, Kirby, Zelda, and more, so what do I think? Let's download this app and find out!  The app is modeled as a standard music app and works as such. You can mark favorites, make playlists, and extend some songs, not all but some. You can extend a song to 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour, causing one of my minor gripes I will get into later. Overall the presentation of this ap...

Video Essays: A New Type Of Documentary

 Whether it is on late-night television hosts, an amusement park attraction or company that is no longer with us, or perhaps every episode of a sitcom from your childhood, the impact of video essays online has been on the rise and now even rivals the relevancy and presence of podcasts. I watch plenty myself, from restaurants to musical history, entertainment, or even perhaps deep diving into a show from my childhood. I do love wandering the beaten path and watching different topics such as food, modern trends, fashion, and such sometimes to perhaps learn something new and talk about something with my friends when the other day a thought struck me, that video essays are now, not replacing, but are on the quality and can stand alongside documentaries as a form of entertainment that also gives you fun facts to share next time you are out to dinner with friends.  Video essays are everywhere and the topics vary from travel to food to one of my personal favorites the giant LCD spher...

My Top Ten Modern Disney Songs So Far

 Moana 2 Is almost out, and I quite enjoyed the first one, when people talk about Disney music, there are so many songs to talk about. Plenty that have lasted for decades and been performed in countless formats. I plan on talking about my all-time favorites, but because Moana 2 is coming, I thought I would talk about some of the songs from modern Disney films that I listen to often. Songs I have sung along to, related with, and been moved by. I am going to start from "Tangled" up until "Wish" which I say would be the introduction of a new era of Disney and a new art style for the movies. Disney has been doing a mix of musical and non-musical movies, such as " Big Hero 6" and "Zootopia". One ground rule, the song has to be performed in the movie, the movie needs to have more than one song, and it needs to be tied to a plot or character, so "Try Anything" from "Zootopia" does not qualify as the movie is a not a musical. This is ...
