Raw

Raw / Half / 18 Pages / Half Size / $1 / Vermicious Knid / Lupine Ladies Press, PO Box 543, Accokeek MD 20607. This is another zine done by Vermicious Knid, where ey talks about a very personal experience in being raped; the writing, not quite prose nor poetry, really embodies the disconnected, disjointed thought ey has on the matter.

Alive or Dead (DVD)

I really think that the horror films that are picked up by Lionsgate surpass those coming out of any other company in this day and age. Face it, movies in the horror genre are largely gash, and they rehash old stories and plots without getting individuals properly engrossed into the film. Stephen Goetsch is still relatively new in the field of directly, having been linked to Scar (2005) as a…

Caramel (DVD)

Caramel has a similar style to Barbershop, and before I get deluged with a number of angry individuals on both sides of the aisle, let me explain why. In both cases, the movie focuses in one a place of meeting where something aesthetically-related is being done. In both, there are different generations of individuals that discuss and talk, with the older generations providing information and knowledge to the younger generations.…

Rated Rookie Vol 2 #4

Rated Rookie (Vol.2, #4, 562 Park Place, #3, Brooklyn, NY 11238) Can you say white space? I’m sure you all can, and I especially know that the editors of Rated Rookie are very familiar with the concept. Where many zines will stick background images or textures to break up the tedium of the whiteness, Rated Rookie is bold in the sense that they don’t let anything besides very-sharp pictures detract…

James Hunter – The Hard Way (CD)

James Hunter starts off “The Hard Way” with a brand sixties rock that has no direct contemporary influence. I could hear “The Hard Way” on the radio and be assured that the track is from over 40 years ago, that is how solidly Hunter is entrenched in that style. After that introductory track, “Tell Her” comes forth with a sound that follows pretty directly from “The Hard Way” but approaches…
