Socialburn – The Beauty of Letting Go

  Socialburn moves cross the gamut of popular rock type of styles, taking a little bit from Bush, Howie Day and even the dirty rock of bands like Lit for their “Beauty of Letting Go”. A track like “Speak Now” really looks toward Switchfoot for its main influence, but really puts forth something that is more cohesive and compelling than anything that “The Beautiful Letdown-era” Switchfoot could come up with.…

Bacardi Black Razz | Wolf Berry (Rum)

  There are a number of different flavors that work well with rum. However, I was unaware that a black raspberry flavor would fit with the spices and hints of molasses that come through with each sip. Bacardi has released their Black Razz flavor, which marries the two disparate styles. What results is something ultimately drinkable and incredibly versatile. The subtle hints of raspberry go far beyond the flavoring that…

Casa de mi Padre (DVD)

  It has been a few years since Will Ferrill has created a new bit of absurdity for friends. I believe that the wait has allowed for Casa de mi Padre, eir latest, to change the world just as much as Talladega Nights or Anchorman. In this story, Ferrell (playing here as Armando) is the heir to a Mexican ranch owner. When eir father dies, every part of Armando’s life…

The Inbetweeners – The Complete Series (DVD)

It’s hard to image The Inbetweeners – the teen-centered British sitcom – getting a fair chance with U.S. audience thanks to a prudish attitude towards sex here. Violence? Bring it on; teens joking about getting blow jobs? Oh hell no, we’re Americans. Thanks to its unflinchingly bold humor and Porky’s-level raunchiness, you’d be hard pressed to name even a basic cable channel here that would be willing to put up…

Deserter (DVD)

  Deserter is a wonderful look into the early career of Tom Hardy. Director Martin Huberty puts Hardy into the role of Pascal Dupont, a member of the Foreign Legion. The war may be going on during Deserter, but the intensely personal nature of Dupont’s interactions with the rest of eir platoon provides the true intensity of the title. Paul Fox’s Simon Murray is the perfect foil for Dupont; the…

Marvel Anime: Wolverine & Blade (2-Disc Sets)

    Marvel is attempting to recast two of their major characters – Wolverine and Blade – in a style that is based heavily in Japan’s anime format. By transferring the story and overall framing over to Asia, Marvle is able to shake up relationships, motivations, all while providing fans with the characters that they know and love. Wolverine contains Cyclops and Omega Red, while Wolverine and Noah van Helsing…

Here (DVD)

Here (DVD) / 2012 Strand Releasing / 126 Minutes / http://www.strandreleasing.com Here is a film that discusses the human experience. I feel that the framing that is done here showcases the sheer stock of the communal spirit. Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma) plays Will, an engineer that is attempting to increase the efficacy of the currently existing satellite maps. Will finds Gadarine Nazarian (Lubna Azabal, of Incendies and Paradise Now)…

Johnny Winter “Live From Japan” DVD available Tuesday July 24

Johnny Winter has done and seen just about everything. One thing he had yet to do was play in Japan. This is one of the few places that his touring hadn’t taken him, until now. This show was recorded on April 15, 2011, the third night of three sold out shows, at the famed Zepp Tokyo Music Hall in the heart of the world’s largest city. The songs Johnny played…

PL Site

Payday loans are an interesting subject. There are a number of companies that are currently conducting business that are not fully on the level. Whether it be through providing the individuals that use these websites with horrible loan offers or high repayment packages, it becomes incredibly hard to find a company that is more or less on the level. To find one, I went through a number of distinct searches…

Torch’d (Youth Addict)

  Torch’d is one of the few energy supplements that we have received that provide the energy that I need throughout the entire course of taking the supplement. The energy that is provided will not create a twitchiness or otherwise unmanageable spike in this energy. The blend of cacao seed extract, caffeine, and dimethylpentylamine means that individuals can drop weight, be provided the energy that they need to complete their…
