For a great many, marriage is one of the most difficult things to succeed in. Whether it is making sure things stay interesting or that you provide the right amount of love to your better half, marriage is hard to perfect. Every Day is a film about these problems, and contains some interesting and unique characters. Ned (Live Schreiber) has a job writing for a television drama, all while hating…
When first receiving Species Nutrition Isolyze Whey Protein, I had never tried a whey isolate. Basically this is the stuff for serious nutritionally conscious persons; it has the highest concentration of protein available for the lowest amount of carbs and calories.
Most times in our Health and Fitness section, we ensure that we have went through the entire amount of whatever product we get – whether it is a pre-workout supplement, protein, or the like. However, we are so impressed by the Sweet Sweat Stick that we simply had to review it about a week after receiving it. The product is similar to a roll-on deodorant, and a quick test of…
“Sweet” is a track that comes forth with a number of distinct and unique styles. With a funky backdrop and a Mick Jagger-esque (think “Emotional Rescue”) approach taken by the vocals, listeners will immediately be enthralled by the band’s output. The electronic-infused arrangements that are present during “Sweet” will hearken back to the New Romantic movement of the early and mid-eighties, while there is a little bit of a harder,…
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart lit up a terribly dark first half of 2009 with their self-titled debut album, and were able to keep interest in the band high with their EP Higher Than the Stars. About 18 months later, and the band has just released what I feel to be their magnum opus, Belong. “Belong” acts as a microcosm of the different styles and feelings that are…
Through the last twelve years, Darren Aronofsky has continually made films that deviate from what is typically sponsored and promoted in Hollywood. 1998’s Pi was simultaneously one of the most tense and introspective films ever made, while 2000’s Requiem For A Dream showcased the potential for addiction in all of humanity. Black Swan, eir 2010 film, represents Aronofsky’s best-grossing movie. Natalie Portman (Nina) and Mila Kunis (Lily) struggle for two…
Shows featuring an attractive male-heavy band have always done well on television. Whether it was The Monkees, The Jonas Brothers, or Big Time Rush, a tween audience will eagerly devour anything that is put out. Big Time Rush – the band, their music, or the show – seems to be miles ahead of many similar-sounding acts in that they skillfully blend rock, punk, rap, and even a little hard rock…
Around a Small Mountain, the newest effort from Jacques Rivette (La Belle Noiseuse, Oeline and Julie Go Boating), is one of those films that benefit from repeat viewings. The film starts with Vittorio (Sergio Castellito) assisting motorist Kate (Jane Birkin) with Kate’s broken-down trunk. From there, the two gradually get to know each other – Kate is a circus performer that will be leaving the city soon. Vittorio has to…
Very few titles can do the action-RPG blend correctly. I feel that Devil May Cry is one of those titles, but that practically every year the gaming public is forced into picking up or otherwise noticing a great many of these stinkers. Knights Contract is an interesting new addition to the roll of these games, and I feel that Namco Bandai may be on to something amazing with this title.…
Helena From The Wedding is an interesting film, not only because of the crew that it employs but also because of director Joseph Infantolino’s pedigree (Run Fatboy Run). The title is also enthralling because of the way in which Infantolino captures the married experience. Helena From The Wedding does not glamorize or otherwise modify the married experience – what viewers will see from the different couples is realistically what could…
