Box Office Update 11/20-11/22: New Moon Destoys the Box Office

Absolutely unbelievable. Wow. That is all I can say. Who in their right mind would have predicted such a gigantic opening? I certainly couldn't. I knew it would be big, heck, I am pretty sure we all knew that. The phenomenon that was Twilight has ...

Movie Review: Precious - Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire

will be known throughout the rest of this review as Precious. I do not know anyone who uses the entire clunky title. I understand the need for it to be recognized as being based on the novel, but was there not a better way to go about it? The name ...

Music Review: Job for a Cowboy - Ruination

My experience with Job for a Cowboy has been somewhat limited. Yes, they are one of those hot up and coming acts that all the kids seem to love. At least, I seem to see a good number of their shirts on those that wander aimlessly around the local mall. ...

Movie Review: Pirate Radio

When it comes right down to it, I am not really sure what the ultimate purpose is for this movie's existence. It does not seem to aspire to any higher purpose. It does show some rebellion against the government, but it is not something that is explored ...

Music Review: Hellsongs - Hymns in the Key of 666

Cover albums run the gamut from fantastic to hideous abominations with most falling somewhere in between. I cannot say that I have ever been able to come up with a formula as to what makes one good and one bad. It is much like movie remakes, on one ...

Music Review: Behemoth - Evangelion

Music Review: Drag Me to Hell - Music Composed by Christopher Young

Earlier this year we all got to see Sam Raimi return to his roots. The man got his start with horror films in the 1980s. Films that hold up to this day and have legions of fans. The the latter half of the 1990s and the better part of this decade we saw ...

Movie Review: 2012

Roland Emmerich has quite the destructive pedigree under his belt. He beat up the planet with aliens in Independence Day. He took a few shots at New York City in Godzilla (1998). He then fired his warning shots across the bow of the planet with The Day ...
