Nightwish's Imaginaerum

I'm really looking forward to Nightwish's new album "Imainaerum."  It is going to be released laster this month in their home country of Finland and then start being released around the world in December and  January.  


From videos that I have watched online of their new material, they have kept much of their old sound while adding a story to the album and making it slightly dark.  I'm glad to see the band pay tribute to where they have came from while keeping up with current music trends.  







Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 Blu-ray

I bought Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (HPDH) on Blue-ray this past weekend.  HPDH is, in my opinion, the best movie in the franchise.  The writing was superb, stuck to the book, the sets were amazing and the actors did a brilliant job.

The special features were quite interesting, however they were on a separate disk.   This is quite annoying, since I like to have the movie and the special features on the same disk.  The commentary on the movie was unusually, but highly refreshing.  Instead of just talking over the movie, a few key people from the movie would stop the movie, appear on screen, and explain what they were going for or thinking for that scene.
