A Night to Remember (DVD)

  A Night To Remember has been given a tremendous coat of polish for its release into the Criterion Collection. This 1958 film is the original Titanic, albeit which much better acting and less fluffy plot. The film is a veritable who’s who of actors from this period; Laurence Naismith takes on the role of Captain Edward J. Smith, while Ronald Allen is Mr. Clarke and John Cairney is Mr.…

Marriage Chronicles (DVD)

Marriage Chronicles is a film that focuses on three couples that look to improve their relationships with loved ones. Along the way, a crazy instructor allows each to find out something about themselves and their better halves. Where it seems that many films cast individuals into roles without seeing how they work with their film spouse, I feel that each of the couples seem realistic. While Vivica A. Fox and…

RoGizz vs. Black Blago (CD)

What’s His Name is the first track on RoGizz vs. Black Blago, and the track immediately will draw listeners’ attention to the disc. RoGizz’s flow is utterly unique as it touches upon the new New York City (French Montana, Red Cafe) rappers just as much as Atlanta (T.I., Shawty Lo). The production of this cut takes on past and present. The track moves through the work of Mannie Fresh and…

TOAD: Arizona Metallers Issue Tour Recap; Band Prepare Forthcoming EP

Arizona metal militia TOAD has returned to its homeland of Phoenix after a two-week migration through the Rocky Mountains and across the southern United States. To say TOAD‘s journey was a success would be an understatement. Old friends were revisited, new allies were formed, and TOAD‘s rotten gospel was delivered on a nightly basis to receptive congregations. Upon their return to the desert, TOAD immediately delved back into the writing…

Ahmad Jamal – Blue Moon (CD)

Ahmad Jamal is still creating tremendous music in eir eighth decade on this earth. I feel that the tracks on Blue Moon allow Jamal to come back to eir roots. In doing so, I believe that the recordings are much more polished than these initial efforts, and represent a considerable evolution from all other stages in eir career. Autumn Rain immediately throws listeners into the fray, the seven minute runtime…

However, there is a company that is able to use a smart design and a sturdy construction to make a product that anyone that works out seriously will appreciate. This means that…

War Horse is the tale of a child and eir companion, a horse. The duo are separated, but the impact that they have on each other continues through World War I. Steven Spielberg’s direction of this film is stellar, meaning that viewers will be transported back in time.

Loreena McKennitt – Troubadours on the Rhine (CD)

Loreena McKennitt has found a great groove with eir latest album, Troubadours on the Rhine. I believe that this title does tons for expanding the celtic genre, and does so in a way that will appease fans and newbies alike. This is largely due to McKennitt’s inimitable vocals, but the supporting instrumentation that is present deserves ink. I believe that the arrangements on a track like The Wind That Shakes…

Giant Sports Protein – Chocolate, Vanilla, and Cookies & Crème Protein

It is not often where we are able to enter on the ground floor when it comes to a workout supplement company. Luckily, we received a few samples of Giant Sports’ Delicious Protein. The miscibility of the protein is stellar, with just a few shakes necessary to properly disperse the protein through a bottle of milk or water. The 27 grams of protein per serving is significantly higher than other…
