Official Truth The Inside Story of Pantera Book Review

Pantera  seemed to come out of nowhere in the late 80’s with Cowboys From Hell, a rather apt title summing up these Texas-bred good ole’ boys  with a penchant for blistering metal and plenty of booze. Though to be fair, they’d been at it playing and recording since the early 80’s – taking the punk rock DIY path of self-releasing –  it just took the music world and the larger…

How to Survive a Plague DVD Review

  Though there are certainly many devastatingly sad aspects in the starkly beautiful  How to Survive a Plague  – the documentary about the early stages of the AIDs epidemic in the U.S. and the origins of ACT Up and TAG – it is also refreshing to see just how more compassionate we have become in this country in comparison.

Anders & Kendall Wild Chorus CD Review

Anders & Kendall may be a new band, but it’s comprised of a duo of music vets: Anders Parker, a solo artist and also former member of the Indie experimental band Varnaline, and Kendall Meade from Sparklehorse, Mascot and a handful of other groups.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 3D Combo Pack Review

I came into The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey expecting a fairly solid fantasy film but something that would only be a pale shade of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Director Peter Jackson is able to imbue this introductory Hobbit flick with the same gravitas while establish a considerably different feel to An Unexpected Journey. Lord of the Rings had a number of single-film releases before getting a definitive Blu-Ray…

  The GlassBox engine provides a considerably different feel to SimCity than previous games in the franchise; while this does not change the cartoony flair that is a hallmark of Sims effort, it makes it more immersive and grandiose.  Simcity has streamlined transportation and utilities into the road tool to ensure a quick move from low to medium population cities, while establishing greater functionality at the end-game. This is experienced…

The bag is surprisingly deep and contains a number of different pockets in which to place various dirty, ill-fitting, or easily misplaced objects. The build design of the True Sport Duffle is substantial, ensuring that the bag can kick around a truck or take a number of bumps and scrapes before even showing…

  One of the most major problems that is present with a number of plain spirits is that the mixes are pretty high calorie. This is compounded by the calorie content that the spirits themselves has. What Smirnoff has done with these vodkas is reduce the calorie content and present imbibers with three delectable flavors.
