Watch 'The 5th Wave' Movie Trailer, Starring Chloe Grace Moretz And Nick Robinson

Darkness. Destruction. Infection. Invasion. The 5th Wave is coming.

I know you've been waiting for this, because I certainly did. The previously released movie poster dampened my hungered spirit, but the trailer certainly made me whole for a while... despite the apocalyptic theme of the movie. Now is your chance to watch it!

The 5th Wave

The 5th Wave movie adapatation is directed by J Blakeson and stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Liev Schreiber, Nick Robinson, Alex Roe, Maika Monroe, Maggie Siff, Maria Bello, and Ron Livingston. It is written for screen by Susannah Grant based on the novel of the same title by Rick Yancey.

Watch the new trailer of The 5th Wave.


Synopsis

In the new film The 5th Wave, four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth decimated. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave, Cassie teams up with a young man who may become her final hope – if she can only trust him.

After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.

Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

The 5th Wave will hit cinemas on January 15, 2016.

Official Music Video Of 'Hypnosis' By Damien Rice Shows Why I Love His Craft

Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet is an animated movie based on the literature or poetry of the same title. It was an official selection at Cannes and premiered at North American soil during the Toronto International Film Festival. It is starred by Salma Hayek and Liam Neeson among many other voice actors that could deliver. The movie is directed by Roger Allers, who is best known for the Disney classic The Lion King.

Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet

Not only is the movie a feast of visual imagery, but it features some auditory bliss that affects your very roots and core. One such auditory offerings is the soundtrack of the song performed by Irish artist Damien Rice. In the song called Hypnosis, Rice demonstrates why I loved his works. You could listen to (or watch) the song and video to judge for your self.

Watch the new music video of Hypnosis by Damien Rice.


The video in itself is very immersive, but with the accompaniment of the song it brings out even more meaning and emotion to what we are seeing. This is definitely an apex artistic moment that both captures and reflects a journey of the soul, not only of the main characters of the movie but of all of us....

I hope you have enjoyed the video as much as I did....

Drag Me Down By One Direction: Theme Song Of Personal Strength And Independence

Drag Me Down has been released for quite sometime already. The song and music video have already been feasted upon by millions and it is only now that I share the song to you, my reader... not as a revelation but as a celebration of my personal experiences and outlook in life.

Drag Me Down by One Direction

Challenges and tribulations are ever-always present, but I do believe nothing disturbs a free and peaceful spirit. The song just resonated in me because of the message that I can relate with, especially of empowering one's self and manifesting independence. The One Direction song may be focusing more on love, but there is nothing greater than loving one's self and finding one's niche in the universe and those are just the starting point of making you strong physically and internally. And eventually, as the song suggests: nothing will drag you and me down.

So here it is: watch One Direction's Drag Me Down music video.


Hope the song has uplifted your spirit as well.

As few thoughts on the video: This is I think the very first One Direction music video that features the remaining four members of the band (after Zayn Malik left the group). It's kind of ironic, also, that this happened after the latter's departure, giving away the message that despite what happened the band will remain strong, or stronger than ever. On a side note, I just noticed that Louis is now getting more air and video time, if you know what I mean.

The astronaut theme in the video is a paradox. It's as if the band's journey is reflected by a flight of a spaceship: the most crucial and hardest part is the moment when the craft is at the verge of breaking free from the grasp of gravity, hence "drag me down." As a juxtaposition it shows that the member have to train hard to face the hardest struggles, to prepare and eventually surpass all personal limitations.
