New Pornographers & The Pains of Being Pure At Heart (Concert Review)

Gothic Theatre, Saturday, October 11, 2014 - New Pornographers and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart B+

I'm not sure which set I enjoyed more, but It really doesn't matter.   This was a clean and crisp rock show with a lot of groovy noise and very few surprises.

Adapted from Gillian Flynn best selling novel of the same name, Gone Girl is not the best film of the year. But, it might be the most intriguing. When Nick Dunne's (Affleck) beautiful wife (Pike) goes missing on their fifth wedding anniversary, it's not long before the façade of their happy marriage crumbles. Nick becomes public enemy number one, while it is also revealed that his wife, Amy, is bat sh*t crazy. This film is a glimpse (albeit, an exaggerated one) into the minds of a young couple who thought they were in love, before realizing they are in hell.
