Woody Allen’s latest, ‘Whatever Works’ is a fairly entertaining film suffering from the same flaw as most of Allen’s comedy’s from the last few years, it just doesn’t hold a candle to his past work. Not that it matters, if its by Woody Allen, I’m going to go see it, and chances are, I’m probably [...]
Brüno. What can one really say about this movie? It stars Sacha Baron Cohen, the genius behind Da Ali G Show, and the hit film Borat. You’re either a fan of the humor, or not. I could praise the movie to no end, or damn it to hell, if you like Cohen, you’re gonna see [...]
I wanted to post an interesting video I found while surfing around. This clip comes from a group called “Playing for Change,” on its posted page, the author says this is the first of many “songs around the world” being released independently. The song covered is the classic “Stand By Me” by musicians around the [...]
I know we haven’t been posting many “music” related news in the past few month, but I thought this one was of note.

It’s a tired and worn-out tale, but it’s probably the truth: everyone who is not a rock star wants to be one and most rock stars spend a lot of time trying to just be another guy on the street.
I suddenly understand Wayne Campbell at the feet of Alice Cooper explaining his unworthiness: 13, 15, 17 years in the making (seriously, who can keep track at this point?), the now mythical release of Guns ‘n’ Roses’ Chinese Democracy has finally been revealed and I can’t imagine a three paragraph review is going to do [...]
‘Carnival of Light,’ a track recorded by the Beatles January 1967, might be released soon. In an interview, Paul McCartney has said that he has the master tape in-hand, and thinks that now might be the time to offer this track to the public. ‘Light,’ is one of the few Beatles tracks that has eluded [...]
Red, Liz and Abe are back. In Guillermo del Toro’s first movie since the award-winning ‘Pan’s Labyrinth,’ the big red guy with the Right Hand of Doom again does battle with the evil folks trying to rule the world.
