The Death of SecondViews
by Paul Talon on Apr.18, 2012, under Uncategorized
Not much of a topic or surprise as it’s been since September since I posted ANYTHING.
This whole site got overwhelming. I was trying to post long reviews on EVERYTHING I digested and it took the fun out of digesting it…
I also was tired of trying to write semi-professional reviews as well…So I tried to change and it didn’t work.
I then realized I can’t change SV. But I didn’t want to delete it either. I put a lot of work into the site so I will keep it up for archival purposes.
In other news, I have been feeling the need to write every once in awhile…I just don’t want any constrictions (even self imposed because I was trying to do something…) I just want the ability to speak out when I want in brief bursts….THUS I need a new outlet. SO coming soon will be a NEW endeavor….
I will be writing about most everything I digest still but I’ll just have to write…just write. Categories will keep me organized enough. And it will be about whatever. If it’s a chapter in a book, it’s a chapter, if it’s a whole series it’s a whole series…If it’s a movie, a tv show whatever. Whatever pops into my mind that day.
AND there might be more…it might be about life as well but I think I’ll mostly keep that at a minimum as I’m not a great armchair psychologist or anything. It may be boring and it may be just for myself but fuck it…
it’ll be me. In all it’s embarassing glory. You’ll find that I watch crappy reality shows like AI, The Voice – I listen to 80s hair metal and sappy love songs, I read comic books, I watch wrestling. But you’ll learn all of that and if it’s entertaining…great!
For now though SecondViews served me well…but all good things must die…onto the next step…
Film Review: Black Swan (2011)

Black Swan
Starring: Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis, and Barbara Hershey
Written by: Mark Heyman, Andres Heinz, and John McLaughlin
Directed by: Darren Aronofsky
A phenomenal film. To take a backdrop that I care almost nothing about (although I do highly respect it) and keep me interested the whole way through is a testament to the character, the story, the acting, and the direction. A true home run in every sense of the word.

Captain America: The First Avenger
2011
Starring: Chris Evans, Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Neal McDonough, Derek Luke, and Stanley Tucci
Written by: Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely based on the characters by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby
Directed by: Joe Johnston
The Marvel Comics slate continues with the pulpy Captain America. Let me get one major negative out of the way. It’s tough to get over the feeling that the film is a giant set up for the Avengers – much more so than Iron Man 2 and Thor was and that hurts it. The story is so simplistic that it seems as if they just wanted to get the film over with and the character introduced for the Avengers film.

Film Review: Stand By Me (1986)

Stand By Me
1986
Starring: Whil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Jerry O’Connell, Corey Feldman, Kiefer Sutherland, and Richard Dreyfuss
Written by: Bruce A. Evans and Raynold Gideon based on the story “The Body” by Stephen King
Directed by: Rob Reiner
I followed one quintessential 80s movie (St. Elmo’s Fire) with another and it is quite clear which one aged better. Stand By Me still stands out as a timeless coming of age tale about four young boys and their journey into a world slightly bigger than the one they are used to.
