Review of Patrick Stump’s “Soul Punk”

Alright, confession time. From time to time, I still listen to the Chicago-based emo pop-punk band Fall Out Boy. Whenever their break-out song “Sugar, We’re Going Down” comes up on my iPod, I never skip it, but sing along to the incredibly catchy chorus instead. Ever since then, Fall Out Boy became headliners, performing for […]

Film Review: The Thing

If any of you read my “For Your Renting Pleasure” post from last week then you would have seen that I just watched the original The Thing (1982), and though I didn’t get the appeal of that film, I was not going to let it stomp out my excitement for this prequel.

ESPN Films Review: The Dotted Line

This week ESPN Films gave us The Dotted Line by Morgan Spurlock. The Dotted Line is a documentary that gives us a glimpse into the life of sports agents. Morgan Spurlock is the man most famous for being the guy who ate nothing but McDonalds for 30 days in his documentary Super Size Me. His […]

The Breakdown: Marvel’s The Avengers Trailer

Last night the ALCS game ran long on FOX due to extra innings, so neither Nate or myself got more than 8 minutes of Terra Nova’s episode recorded. Lucky us, if FOX is still doing their “make you suffer” game of posting shows 8 days after airing, we’re gonna have to wait a while to […]

Music Review: IAMDYNAMITE’s “Supermegafantastic”

Alternative rock duos have been on the rise ever since one of the best of all time called it quits (I’m of course talking about the White Stripes). From Panic! at the Disco and Middle Class Rut, to Sleigh Bells and Cults, these duos have stepped up and made some beautiful noise in popular music […]

Film Review: Melancholia

Melancholia is the latest from Lars von Trier and the result is a gorgeous, engaging, suspenseful, and even funny film as we watch our protagonist struggle with depression in an excellent turn by Kirsten Dunst.

TV Without Commercials Review: Boardwalk Empire 2.3

Last nights episode of Boardwalk Empire was easily the best episode of the season so far as every single thread of story line that seemed to be skipped from episode one and two was picked right back up in episode three.

Music Review: Evanescence’s Self Titled Album (2011)

You remember Evanescence, right? They were that band that came out a while ago, tore up rock/pop music, and left for a good amount of time? Until just recently, I had completely forgotten about the Amy Lee-fronted rock band. But with the recent resurgence of their first hit, “Bring Me To Life,” I decided to […]

For Your Renting Pleasure

This week I have spent plenty of time at the theater and gaming (Rage FYI), but I managed to fit some movie rentals in this weekend so that I would have thoughts to share with you guys (yes I do realize how narcissistic that sounds). This week we’ve got two films with Natalie Portman, The […]

Film Review: The Ides of March

George Clooney’s latest directorial effort, The Ides of March, is sharp, timely, and impeccably executed by his actors and team behind the camera.
