Doc Martin, for those that have missed it up to this point, is an ITV-shown comedy/drama that surrounds the culture clash that general practicioner Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes, of Men Behaving Badly and Hunting Venus) has with eir new assignment in Portwenn, a backwards type of town. The third season of Doc Martin continues this formula but contains more than enough new material to keep individuals watching through.
There have been enough in the way of documentaries about every aspect of Hitler’s life, leadership style, personal relationships, and the like to fill a warehouse. However, a great many of these releases have been on the poor side, either ignoring entire lines of reasoning or coming forth as badly researched. Hitler’s Bodyguard, a ten-hour documentary, originally was aired on the Military Channel (which itself is held by Discovery).
I still remember when Final Fantasy X came out and being absolutely stunned at the graphical quality of the characters, the environments, and wondering exactly how Square Enix would continue to build up off of that. With each subsequent title in the Final Fantasy series on the current generation of consoles, they have further ratcheted up this video quality to create a more immersive experience. The game itself surrounds two…
Christian Scott is a young face in jazz that could conceivably bring a blast of fresh air to the genre. The sheer amount and scope of collaborations that ey has done in the last few years is impressive, and includes a whos-who list in music (Mos Def, Prince, and DJ Muggs are just three). Instead of merely resting on eir laurels, Scott has just released eir latest album, “Yesterday You…
“Dancing On The Moon” is a rich entry to the world of Lisa Bell, as her vocals marry together all the strengths of artists like Sheryl Crow, Feist, and even Shania Twain. The instrumentation works nicely in the creation of compelling and alluring music, all while allowing Bell’s vocals to shine the brightest they can. “No Time” is a confident track in the sense that it clocks in at four…
Fox has released two modern classics on Blu-Ray for the first time: 1985’s Cocoon and 1999’s The Thomas Crown Affair. Where it will still take a number of years to transfer the contents of Fox/MGM’s library to the Blu-Ray format, releasing these two titles from different decades will hopefully garner enough sales to merit further journeys into the vaults. The Thomas Crown Affair (Blu-Ray) / 2010 Fox / 113 Minutes…
Throughout the course of the last twenty-five or so years, Tim Allen has rapidly moved up from time as a stand-up comedian to a television and even to a silver screen star. It is thus not surprising that Allen’s next challenge would be as a director, so here we are with eir own, self-funded title Crazy on the Outside. In this film, Allen plays Tommy, an individual that was sent…
It seems as if Deadly Impact was a film that went under a great many radars when it was first released, but Fox / MGM has looked to rectify that with the release of the movie’s unrated version. In Deadly Impact, a set of hard-nosed individuals played by The Sopranos star Joe Pantoliano and Sean Patrick Flanery (from The Boondock Saints) strike out against one another. This is because Thomas…
I have been a Pet Shop Boys fan for about a decade now, and while I stick with a great many of their classic tracks, I feel that they have had a nice progression over the course of the last few years. “Pandemonium Live” is their latest effort, and it showcases the entirety of one of their storied live performances. This time out, the tapes were rolling at the O2…
Q:What’s your story? How’d you fall into music? My mom bought me a guitar with lessons for my birthday when The Beatles hit and I’ve been playing ever since. I started writing songs about a year later. I fell into music from the earliest time I can remember. I’ve been into music since birth. LOL
Alkaline Trio has pretty much guaranteed their spot of being a cornerstone band in the post-emo years, but it really seems as if rather than merely resting on the goodwill created by their prior works, AK3 are continuing to add to the diversity and complexities that mark their work as a band. The disc starts off with the titular track, a song that sets up listeners nicely for the entirety…
This collection contains The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, and does not require that an individual already has Grand Theft Auto IV to play. With these facts, it would make sense just to pick up the title – a sub-$40 price tag makes it worthwhile, but there are some other reasons that this title further builds on the GTA IV platform. First off, there are a…
Adie’s “Just You & Me” is one of the first Christian albums that we have had the chance to review for a few months, and our time away from reviewing the genre really acts as a cleanser to our collective palette. For those that had a similar hiatus from Christian music, Adie was part of The Benjamin Gate, and is married to similarly-famous singer-songwriter Jeremy Camp. “Where Could I Go”…
“O’Immaculate” is a dense and nuanced track that showcases the band as tremendously capable to make a cogent narrative while working on the instrumental side of things. When the vocals finally kick in, the track is given a completely different bent. The rich, indie pop that the band crafts during this and subsequent tracks is honest and will ensure that the band snags additional listeners. “Little Gene” further allows the…
“Little Games” is the first track on “October”, and from the onset of “October”, the members of Duc’n It Easy are confident. So confident, in fact, that this introduction to the band is well over seven minutes. The interplay between the lead and rhythm guitar drives this track to a pinnacle that few bands can achieve, while the drums fill in at the right places to keep things innovative. Little…
This beer retails at around $6-7, and it provides quite a kick considering that it clocks in at 10%. Take that into consideration with the fact that it’s a bomber, and one has essentially 4 beers under one’s belt after killing this bottle. The light coloring of the beer itself belies this heavy alcohol content, as the head quickly dissipates. The Reverend comes through with a decently light nose, one…
In a quick turnaround since the game was originally released as Samurai Spirits: Flash in Japan, Samurai Showdown Sen has been brought to U.S. shores (a little more than four months). The title immediately differs from a number of other titles in the Samurai Shodown series in terms of the character breakdown. Where previous titles kept a majority of characters in from previous iterations of the titles, Sen seems to…
It has been a long time since we reviewed an Absolut vodka, and even longer since we reviewed a spirit that is at least partially based on the Acai Berry (October and February 2009, to be specific). We were lucky enough to receive a bottle of Absolut’s latest effort, their Berri Acai, a short while ago. The first thing that one will notice about the spirit is the sweet fruit…
“Awake Now†begins “Heads We Winâ€, and it skillfully ties together rock music from the seventies (Foghat, AC/DC, Boston), alternative music from the nineties (Weezer, Black Crowes) and current efforts (Buckcherry) into something that is hard-hitting while catchy to a large fan base. “Song About Revenge†starts out with crunchy guitars, splashy drums, and takes no prisoners in the band’s creation of timeless rock that will remind listeners of leather-enrobed…
Very few albums are able to keep listeners compelled and actively interacting with a band or individual throughout every single cut. Even albums seen by many to be nigh-perfect, like the Smashing Pumpkins’ “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness†or the Mothers of Invention’s “Freak Out!â€, have a few tracks that fail to deliver. Sonarpilot’s Mothership is one of the few double albums cut in the last five or ten…
