It is rare to see a film that actually tries to prevent bad behavior, but The Fat Boy Chronicles tries to show viewers abvout the negative effects of bullying. The film can be viewed as any film, with entertainment in mind; it features the story of Jimmy Winterpock. Jimmy is an overweight child and has to endure tremendous amounts of bullying in eir high school. Rather than acting out in…

Two things become pretty clear within the first few minutes of the oft-talked about IFC sketch show Portlandia: Fred Armisen, the sometime musician and current cast member of Saturday Night Live, is far more funny than his network gig on SNL allows him to be and Carrie Brownstein, his partner on Portlandia better known as the singer/guitarist for Sleater-Kinney and Wild Flag, is probably even funnier than Armisen. On paper,…
It’s safe to say that Victorian Halls has mastered such a broad appeal that they’re able to smoothly transition from touring with labelmates The Bunny The Bear to a cluster of different genres across the board. Next up: Victorian Halls will join pop/rock groups Divided By Friday, I The Mighty and The Mid-Summer Classic on a west coast tour in February. Chicago will have the chance to see the group…
The video quality of Shark Night is absolutely stellar, with Fox pushing the Blu-Ray format to its limits. The tension present in the movie is further bolstered by this crispness. A similar tightness and quality is present in the audio track for this release, which picks up every noise, scream, and other utterance. Shark Night, for those that hsave not watched the film, is a Corman-esque film that takes on…
LED ZEPPELIN 2 — the ultimate Led Zeppelin tribute band fronted by Yakuza’s Bruce Lamont — will embark on another round of tour dates this Friday. The short run will commence with two consecutive (and SOLD OUT) nights at Chicago’s House Of Blues where the band will play a 1971 and 1975 Zep sets.

There are a number of issues with the sleep aids that are available in drug stores. First off, they are price prohibitive. Secondly, they may provide sleep but at a major cost – I personally always feel like a bear the next day after taking them. However, AI Sports Nutrition has released a sleep aid that will ensure restful and fulfilling sleep without the drawbacks that I just described. 3Z…
CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS is proud to announce the signing of Las Vegas rock group OTHERWISE. A hometown breakout, OTHERWISE earned recognition on the national level when Fox News dubbed them the “#1 Unsigned Act in America” – and America backed the claim. The band’s song “Soldiers” became the first track by an unsigned artist to occupy the No. 1 spot on Sirius Radio’s Octane channel (where it currently maintains the…
Twix is one of my favorite candy bars. The makers of Oh Yeah! Nutrition believe the same thing, and have released a whole set of protein bars that blend crispy with creamy flavors. There are six distinct efforts – Chocolate Mint, Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Vanilla Crème and Vanilla Peanut Butter Crème. The thing that will strike an individual that picks up one of these Protein…

After a solid week of intensive recording at Pyramid Sound with producer Alex Perialas, Birth A.D. is close to the finish line with their debut album, I Blame You. Bassist/vocalist Jeff Tandy was quoted as saying, “Everything sounds great so far. Alex has pushed us to get the best performances of our careers, and even the raw tracks sound unbelievable. This record is going to blast a hole in all…
Good Morning Vietnam was one of those films that were shown in a severly edited format on Comedy Central throughout my childhood. The film has received a number of releases (VHS, DVD, and now Blu-Ray), but I believe that Touchstone has done a tremendous job in establishing this releases’ value, even for those that already have a prior version of the film. This Robin Williams-led film surrounds Adrian Cronauer and…

Individuals that would be concerned about the calories and fat in their proteins should not have to worry about Ultra Peptide 2.0 – 173 calories are all one needs to take in to…
Over the course of the last fifteen years, Creatine has been one of the best ways that individuals can gain muscle mass. The different formulations of that compound have attempted to remove some of the problems inherent in its original formulations, leading to a current period in which Athletic Edge can create their Creatine RT. Russian Tarragon bolsters the absorption of creatine, pushing the amount of absorption well above other…
Catman Cohen has taken his fair share of journeys over the course of his career. Confessions of a Shadow is his latest album, and each of the album’s 15 tracks add considerably to the performer’s mythos. While Cohen’s name is listed as the name on the disc, the sheer amount of individuals working to make this a reality is astounding. The bookending “The Final Confessions” tracks further establish the epic…
Amino Acids are perhaps one of the most important supplements that one that works out can take.

Healthy ‘N Fit Nutritionals is a company that has had their finger on the pulse of the workout public for years now, and this is due…
In the last few months, we have gradually come to accept that supplementing with BCAAs is essential during both intra and post-workout phases. The amount of soreness and muscle catabolization that can be avoided by supplementing with BCAAs is astounding, and anyone that is looking to push their workout to the next level would do well to purchase one. Understanding the versatility that is present in a product like MRM’s…

After running a magazine for a few years, the release schedule of the major film / television releasing companies becomes known. It seems as if they all ramp up for the end of the year, and then slack off considerably during January. Funimation is the only company that I have ever seen that has put a strong foot forward during this inaugural month, and this second volume of Sekirei should…
Limbo. It’s a funny place to be, but it provided inspiration for the second album from Standard Fare, the Sheffield-based indie-pop power trio who debuted with 2010’s The Noyelle Beat, their lovelorn, melodic songs and male/female vocals making them the new darlings of the indie-pop scene. “We’re now in our mid twenties – not young and not old, not yet with kids but starting to earn money, starting to see…
