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. A sense of immersion is always present here, meaning that the cast (Emily Watson, Tom Hiddleston, and Jeremy Irvine) are able to…

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…

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…
The power of a praise concert is considerable. The electric energy that is working through the audience will be enough to inspire anyone lucky enough to watch in. Hillsong United’s latest DVD bottles that energy and provides a much larger stage for the band’s message. Couple praise with an absolutely amazing set of songs, and viewers will have a DVD that does not leave their player. The track list begins…

As eir and eir significant other settle down, they begin to learn that the idyllic life promised to them is not quite as perfect as they hoped. In the show’s five episode first series, a manager (Richard Sharpe, played by Mark Williams) becomes very interested in…
Rick Ray has just released My African Safari. This film fits in perfectly with eir other features, which saw trips to Iceland, Lebanon, Bali, and Israel. My African Safari showcases the sheer difference of the continent to our own. While the human component is something that is similar between areas, the creatures encountered and the lands traveled seem very alien to those watching this from the United States. The…
The Lovers Guide was one of the most important videos created to establish how to properly make love to your wife or spouse. Twenty years in, the guide has been updated (and provided a 3D finish). The two original creators (William Campbell and Robert Page) have been involved in making this dream a reality. Alive Mind has released this title, and has ensured that the title was created with the…

Highly respected Japanese doom metal band CHURCH OF MISERY has announced a U.S. headlining tour that will kick off on May 24 in Providence, RI. Presented by Brooklyn Vegan, the two week trek will showcase one of metal’s most bizarre and exotic bands and one that Rolling Stone called “a dynamic articulated hell, like the Tokyo-Blue-Cheer crush of Boris but grounded in the British white-blues nightmares of early Seventies Black…
Wordgirl is a show that should be required watching for any children aged 6 to 12. This is particularly true with Wordgirl’s latest feature, The Rise of Miss Power. Miss Power (voiced by Glee’s Jane Lynch) is the antagonist during this four-episode story arc and comes forth as incredibly hostile and mean, despite being someone that individuals looked up to previously. Wordgirl is able to defeat Miss Power and…
The latest single, “Let’s Get Naughty,” from the provocative, talented and punk-rock-meets-electronic-glitter Jessie and the Toy Boys, is quickly climbing the Billboard Dance Club Play Chart moving up this week to #21 – she’s in good company with the likes of Chris Brown, The Wanted and others in her direct path as she continues to climb the chart. “Let’s Get Naughty was a fan favorite on the Femme Fatale…
Stephin Merritt is able to create a title that both works with the existing Magnetic Fields discography as well as establish a new tack for the band to take. What results with Love At The Bottom of the Sea is a title that will appease old and new fans alike, while adding a different tool to the band’s repertoire. I like the transitory opening God Wants Us To Wait,…
Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego is a show that anyone that was alive during the nineties will remember. It was based on a series of computer games that increased individuals’ reasoning skills, and made it through 40 episodes before production wrapped up. The show perfectly straddles the line between education and entertainment; the animation style is absolutely stellar considering the absolutely poor style that was dominant on Saturday…
Got lemons? Sure you could make boring ass lemonade, or if you are Matthew Meade and Julia Tepper you could make the most oragsmically delicious MDMA-laced lemon tart imaginable. In the summer of 2010, Matthew got hit by a bus and found himself facing 2 months of recovery without the use of one of his hands (a prickly pickle for a guitar player). But instead of catching up on the…

FEEL THE BURN features guest appearances by electronic pioneer Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream as well as John Wesley of Porcupine Tree. Blackburner is a bold new force in electronic music, combining the heavily twisted and seriously aggressive beats of dubstep and glitch with the melodic hooks of rock, industrial, and electronica. It…
Pat Mastelotto may just be the most well-known musician that you’ve never heard. Recidivate, eir latest work, looks to change that. With each of the releases’ 42 tracks, Mastelotto shows that ey has a lot to say I the current period.
