The hype turned out to be more than the actual event.

Hockey is a fast-paced sport that lives off choices that need to be made in milliseconds. It’s a sport where one wrong choice can be the difference between success and failure.

Where will we actually be in 100 years? Will we have sucked dry all our natural resources, battled societies over water, watched countries become a modern-age Atlantis from rising sea levels, drive millions of creatures to the precipice of extinction, or as a civilization, completely turn against... (more...)

I love this time of the season. Great films are released in conjunction with the years end. Not only that, an aroma of Oscar gold is slowly wafting into every studio exec office and boy does it smell satisfying. So its only fitting that “Precious,” a film of staggering emotional... (more...)

Straight from the film “New Moon” of the Twilight Saga, the soundtrack proves to be the only positive standout feature of an otherwise deplorable film, featuring an eclectic group of musicians and original singles such as the beautiful duet between Bon Iver & St. Vincent on... (more...)

An inaminate object becomes a test of morality in “The Box”

There’s nothing remotely intriguing about a movie dealing with a box. Except, executed here, a lot of things. Director Richard Kelly brings us down a path of twists and turns that wind around logic and give it a good old chock-hold. “The Box” could have played close to formula... (more...)

This jazzy and upbeat single from England MC Speech Debelle showcases her effortless ability to spin quick-witted rhymes that outshine all the tasteless dribble by amateur radio rappers.

Home — Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

A throwback to timeless duets from the 70s, “Home” is an endearing play on verses between lead man Edward Sharpe and girlfriend Jade Castrinos of the same band in which they trade their love for one another over a beautiful, rolling arrangement.

One of the scariest films of the year, “Paranormal Activity”

Filed under Movie Reviews, Reviews

“Paranormal Activity” is one of the scariest films I have ever seen, as generic as that may sound. When a horror movie succeeds at truly shocking-and-awing that’s when you know you’ve got a keeper. “Paranormal Activity” is a keeper. After Hitchcock’s... (more...)

Instead of playing a game of tag football, there’s a new form of recreational “fun” everyone can partake in; it’s just a matter of whether you have the stomach. Also, a key requirement is some sort of weapon, a blunt object or semi-automatic rifle would do the trick.... (more...)

Walking into a Quentin Tarantino film, it’s wise to expect the unexpected. With every new entry, Tarantino continues to prove himself a force to be reckoned with, a man unafraid of rebelling from the general mainstream, and sticking the finger to any naysayers weary of his approach to... (more...)

What do you get when you have a screaming, projectile vomiting baby, two very awkward guys as your seat-mates, and one stewardess who would secretly love to pour steaming coffee on your lap for her pure sadistic pleasure?

Trekkies around the world should be drowning in ecstasy, along with every man, woman, or child who can appreciate a cinematic marvel when they see one.

Ronnie Beinkhart, the lead character of Jody Hill’s latest feature “Observe and Report,” is no amiable “Pall Blart, mall cop”; Ronnie Beinkhart is his insane alter-ego. “Observe and Report” is misleading, and after all the vulgar, violent, and repulsive, but undeniably hilarious... (more...)

Randy “The Ram” Robinson, the epitome of the riches-to-rags story, struggles to revive his pro-wrestling career that peaked in the 1980s. But like so many of the one-hit wonders of the era, the Ram spirals downwards into a life of degradation. “Ram Jam” fails to be a frequently used... (more...)

Kanye West has always shown an under-the-table attraction to singing.

Max Payne is like the Hindenburg: a glorious disaster. The critical consensus has been overwhelmingly negative, but perhaps too brutal. Yes, it’s a wreck, but take a second and you’ll see the whole film as an exercise in aesthetic cinema and hypnotism. Mark Wahlberg couldn’t... (more...)
