 point out that “Kings Die Like Other Men” strikes me as a peculiar choice to as an album-opener. A more cynical critic might call it a red herring.
Beyond the opening song’s melding of electronic collage sampling with instrumental grandeur, Metavari seem content to rely on the post-rock school of rise, crest, and crash. This method is as reliable and safe as ever and Metavari certainly know their way around it, but their dependence upon this predictable route prevents the band from truly rising above their peers.
On the other hand, Metavari should be given some credit for trying to instill these conventional techniques with instrumentation that is somewhat unusual for the genre. Make no mistake, Be One Of Us And Hear No Noise is a post-rock record through and through, a fact that is easily discernible with one glance at the track list (“The Priest, The Shore, And The Wait,” and “IO, Apollo And The Veil“ are but two of the epically nerdy song titles here). Nonetheless, Metavari make some rather sharp connections between post-rock and ambient electronica that seem almost obvious in retrospect. A great deal of the albums more conventionally written passages are livened up by copious amounts of skittering drums and shimmering synthesizers. Naturally, there is still room for some melodrama, as the title track’s bombastic string section proves.
There’s certainly no doubting the sincerity of Metavari’s members, all of whom play with palpable concern and care. In fact, the individual players are almost too meticulous, effectively removing any chance Be One Of Us And Hear No Noise has at approaching any kind of catharsis. It’s an album almost frustrating in the amount of promise it demonstrates without fulfilling it, but there’s enough good here to feel certain that the next time out will find Metavari with a finer sense of how to distinguish themselves.Welcome to MotorcycleLifts.com

Honey Bee 2.5 is that hastily made movie which doesn’t have a credible depth to its credit. It is narrated as the story of an aspiring actor who wants to become a hero, but the struggle the movie shows us is more of a momentary struggle rather than an actor’s real struggle. With a disappointing hero in the lead role and an outdated making style to its credit, Honey Bee 2.5 is quite disappointing.
Vishnu is this aspiring actor. He completed his acting course from Adayar institute and got selected by some directors. But unfortunately none of those films went on floor and his days weren’t going smooth. During another attempt, a director suggests him to go to the location of Honey Bee 2 and check whether he can get a role in that movie. Vishnu’s attempt to get a role in Honey Bee 2 and what all things happen during his efforts for that is what Honey Bee 2.5 talking about.
We have seen the movies of this format many times. The Mammootty starrer Best Actor was one such fine example. But while movies like that managed to linger to the core idea in a more engaging way, Honey Bee 2.5 is kind of struggling terribly in constructing a genuine story. People who may have no idea about how shooting happens will get a better picture about that part, thanks to the idea of the makers to shoot it on the location of an actual film. But apart from that aspect, there is hardly anything in this film to keep you invested. We get to see a guy constantly getting kicked out and Askar Ali hardly has the charm to make us feel for that character.
Asif Ali’s younger brother Askar Ali plays the hero in this movie and I must say it was an overconfident decision to cast him as an Adayar graduate. Apart from the good looks there isn’t much there in him. His emotions are limited and the dialogue delivery doesn’t have the ease. Lijomol on the other hand showed grace and kept the promise she showed in the first two films. Hareesh – Nirmal combo’s comedy is not in sync with the narrative. It is almost like those track comedy you see in Tamil films. Lal, Jean Paul Lal, Bhavana, Asif Ali and many others in the cast and crew of Honey Bee 2 are appearing as themselves in the movie.
Shyju Anthikad who earlier made a movie called Scene 1 Nammude Veedu is quite outdated in treating sequences. Those dialogues and sentimental scenes which we rarely go through in real life and nowadays make fun of for being cliché are there in his presentation. Beyond the sets of Honey Bee 2, this film looks extremely different. May be because of the contribution of Jean Paul Lal, the scenes within the shooting premises have less cheesy feel to its credit. The twists in the tale aren’t that surprising and we can somehow guess the end from the beginning itself. Cinematography was average and so were the cuts. Music by Deepak Dev was good and had his signature style.
Honey Bee 2.5 doesn’t connect with you emotionally because of the hurried nature of the movie. The aim was to show us the struggle of a passionate actor, but the movie on the whole lacks passion.
Rating: 2/5

Red: Not RecommendedThose attending Red Hat Summit this past April heard Red Hat CEO Paul Cormier announce our partnership with Boston University, which included expanding the Red Hat Collaboratory to drive innovative research and education in open source technology. Today, I’m very excited to share the inaugural recipients of the Red Hat Collaboratory Research Incubation Award.
This joint effort to advance research in the layers of the cloud computing ecosystem aims to fund open source projects focused on distributed, operating, security or network systems. The Red Hat Collaboratory has awarded more than $2.3 million to 16 projects across the hybrid cloud space. We see each project as an invigorating opportunity for BU faculty, students, Red Hat researchers, and industry partners to make practical innovations in open source.
AI for Cloud Ops, the Red Hat Collaboratory Research Incubation Award headline project, will receive $1 million over two years and focus on the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud systems. Red Hatters Steven Huels, Marcel Hild, and Daniel Riek will work alongside BU faculty Ayse Coskun, Alan Liu, and Gianluca Stringhini, a group of BU graduate students and IBM researcher Fabio Oliviera to create new methods for intelligent data collection, fusing and representing systems data to enable AI-based analytics and build, apply and scale AI frameworks to improve performance, management, security, compliance and resilience in the cloud.
As co-director of the Red Hat Collaboratory, I am especially passionate about AI for Cloud Ops because its scale is markedly different from what we have done before. For the first time, we’re able to support a team of this size composed of students, faculty and engineers working side-by-side towards a common goal to benefit operations teams and enterprises of all sizes. Red Hat is excited to help data centers that have struggled to maintain a dedicated staff to keep pace with the rapid advancements in technology, and through AI for Cloud Ops, we believe that these organizations can benefit from the efficiencies derived from larger enterprises’ data.
Stay tuned to learn more about AI for Cloud Ops and other award recipients as we keep up with their research teams at the Red Hat Collaboratory hosted within the Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing and Computational Science & Engineering at Boston University.
