One of the most refreshing indie films I've seen in awhile, loved the concept of merging fact and reality to fiction and alternate reality. The films shows the beginnings of the band till the initial break-up up to the reunion in 2006 for the album Tulad ng Dati.

It tackles how the band deals with popularity then and now and how they gain maturity as individuals through the years.

Jet Pangan and JB Leonor were marvelous and Francis Reyes provides comic relief at times and proved to be the most desirable character in the movie! especially toward the ala- crossroads duel towards the end.

This film takes you back to the new wave era and just wants you to reminisce of the old days. For the band junkies out there this film is a must watch! one hell of a soundtrack too! Enveloped Ideas anyone?!

    In this essay I will be critically analysing and evaluating ‘The Beatles’ Sgt. Peppers album in relation to their associated genre, their lyrics, their musical creativity, their social and political context, their overall impact on music and popular culture and the contemporary music industry at the time. I’ve chosen this specific album as I find it a particularly interesting moment in their career, creating an album that will always be remembered. It was also released in such an important time in history; a time where a popular culture was born. I will be focusing on four songs from the album of which I find are most relevant to my chosen essay title: ‘Lucy in The Sky with Diamonds’, ‘She’s Leaving Home’, ‘within you, without you’ and ‘A Day in the Life’.…
