The emotive guitar work that begins Pink Champagne will be immediately amenable to fans of The Wallflowers or the Counting Crows. The blend of funk, soul, and other rock styles alongside the sheer vocal intensity brought to each track will create a legion of fans. This trend is something that continues through the bulk of Pink Champagne; Face Down In The Gutter ratchets up the gritty sound considerably. Hints of…
The Howling Reborn is one of those films that is a remake, but it strong enough to actually allow the story to be updated in a compelling and fresh way. This is due to the work put in by the actors, which are headed up by Ivana Milicevic (Casino Royale) and Lindsey Shaw (10 Things I Hate About You); despite being something to look at, the duo make their motivations…
In the last decade or so, there has been a monopoly in terms of wrestling games that are on the market. The TNA Impact video game did not do as well as it should have in bringing the company’s unique flair to consoles, while the variety of Japanese wrestling games are usually passed over for the American market. Hulk Hogan’s Main Event is a serious contender for wrestling fan’s video…
There are a number of different headphones that we have had the chance to review over the last year, and many of these were priced at a level that made it hard for individuals to swing. However, the price of the SE-CL331 headphones by Pioneer, coupled with a high level of quality, make them accessible to the widest array of purchasers. This quality is unmatched – these are for the…
Michael Winterbottom’s latest film The Trip contains quite possibly the funniest three-minutes of any movie released this year. Witnessing two comedians (played by Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon) trying to one up each other with Michael Caine impressions elicits a laugh-until-it hurts response. Not sure the same can be said about any scene from The Hangover II. The independent comedy follows Coogan (24 Hour Party People, Tropic Thunder), playing himself,…

The release will feature 4 new tracks, and will be available exclusively through the iTunes music store. Active Child – “Diamond Heart” (Stereogum Premiere) Active Child will be hitting the road with electronic artist M83 for a series of dates beginning on Oct 28 in…
There are a whole slew of different influences and styles that are cultivated during the twelve tracks that comprise the original self-titled effort by Yuck. However, I feel that the album takes a much different tone when a second CD of six tracks are included. Fat Possum has just released a deluxe edition of this album, providing fans with some fun new tracks and a snappy packaging option. Rubber is…
I was fairly sure that the X-Men franchise was gradually going to come to an end after the X-Men Origins: Wolverine title did a little worse than movie executives thought. X-Men: First Class was the way in which the X-Men franchise was able to properly gain steam, and I believe that Fox’s work with this Blu-Ray is strong enough to properly foster additional interest in the series. X-Men: First Class…
At some point, there is nothing to Frogger. One has to avoid different moving (fast and slow) objects to get to the other side. How Konami ultimately makes it into a title that individuals will want alongside all of the different titles being released for the platform is something that I want to look into. The multiplayer option that is presented here allows up to four players a chance to…
Very few horror films are scary or otherwise interesting anymore. If they are not remakes of older American or foreign horror films, the production values of a great many of these films are just too low to provide an immersive experience. I have faith in the horror genre with the release of a new title – Frat House Massacre. Where males in film are traditionally seen as those that are…
