“All of You” is a track that could easily be enjoyed, regardless of whether the listener was from 1880, 1920, 1950, or today. There is little more to this first track on Sissita’s self-titled disc than vocals, but her chops are such that any fan of music will be happy with what issues forth from their stereo. “Nightmares” continues this train, but gives the backing instrumentation a little more of…
It seems that there is very little in the way of active work being done to restore old interviews, performances, and the like from musicians. Whether it be straight releases from VHS of extremely important titles like Urgh! A Music War or music-related films like Times Square, many movie houses could stand to do what is done with Kylie Minogue – Rare and Unseen. This collection brings together an interview…
Weather HD is a very attractive weather App for the iPad. It is so very picturesque that it may replace the photo slide show that I sometimes use while my iPad charges over night. The App has a very nice feel to it, and it contains moving pictures that are very soothing to look at. The App also contains quite a bit more than the native iPhone Weather App does,…
It does feel as if some of the different British releasing companies tend to slack off when it comes to releasing various seasons of shows from the BBC and ITV. For example, there seems to be something a little off with a release like the sixth series of Foyle’s War. Whether it be a slightly muddy print or a lack of additional features, it just makes sense to bring over…
VCI Entertainment has created a number of DVD releases for films that have been forgotten about or otherwise slept on for a great period of time. Hell is Sold Out is one of these films; a 1951 film featuring Richard Attenborough, has been released under the company’s “Best of!” line. This Special Edition has been cleaned up from source prints, ensuring that video and audio quality is absolutely stunning considering…
For those that may have missed it, Video Games Live is a set of concerts that were created by long time video game music composers Tommy Tallerico and Jack Wall. A performance consists of the orchestra providing their own take on music from titles as famous as The Legend of Zelda, Silent Hill, and Sonic the Hedgehog along with slightly lesser-known titles like Headhunter and Advent Rising.
Many shows start to grind gears by the time they get to as many seasons as Two and a Half Men, but this DVD set should show that there is some gas left in the show’s tank. As evidence by the ratings it still generates, many people are familiar with the general premise of the show – Charlie Sheen’s womanizing Charles and the eternally mopey Alan, played by Jon Cryer…
Captured in February of this year in Raleigh, North Carolina, “But I’m Not Wrong” really has Maher at eir very best. While some of this 80 minute show may seem to be treading bare ground, the skill of Maher’s craft is enough to have viewers focused in through the entirety of the DVD. It is not only eir voice that is a hit; facial mannerism and body language is linked…
Just in time for your Halloween party, here comes the Horror Movies version of Scene It. Scene It has a fine reputation for making quality games, whether it be the board game, or on DVD, but now they can add the iPad to their list. I have to say that I’m not a real big fan of horror flicks myself, I’m more of an action/sci-fi/romantic comedies kinda guy myself. If…
I’m a big fan of Dynasty Warriors, but I feel as if the games have too much in common with each other. This means that subsequent games in the line tend to escape my notice, but that titles that look to improve on the formula are truly special. Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes, and particularly the Playstation 3 version, does just that. For those that are not familiar, Sengoku Basara is…
Night Court has seen another season released, this time on the Warner Archive program. At a $35 price point, the 22 episodes of the season can be seen in a way that was originally intended. While the episodes here have not been remastered in any way, the transfer that Warner has given these episodes is simply stellar. For me, Night Court really began to hit its stride beginning with this…
Moshi Mouth is a newer App by a developer named Mind Candy. This App is a poorly done, though well drawn, attempt at making you into a monster mouth. The App is easy enough to use, and is, as stated above, well drawn, but it doesn’t offer much else. It does do, however, exactly what it promises. The App comes complete with six different Moshi Monsters to pick from, along…
Hide and Seek games are a dime a dozen in the AppStore these days, but this time around, with “Seek And Find”, we are treated to a good quality mini-game style game. This game made for the iPad is quite a joy for me and my significant other. We tested it this evening and found it to be rather fun and entertaining. The game play is simple enough, though challenging.…
Donnell Rawlings has been known for two distinct things. Fans of comedy can easily remember eir from the stint ey had on the short-lived Chappelle show, while those into more serious types of show have likely seen eir on The Wire. On From Ashy to Classy, Rawlings looks to showcase the former. What seems to be the strongest side to Rawlings is how well ey plays to the different populations…
So, it’s sixteen years later, and Sega Corp. finally put out a sonic game worth something. I have to say right here, and right now that back in the day; I was on Team Sonic. I liked Mario, sure, and I even had me a SNES, but Sonic & Tails always had my geeky, blue furry heart. One could really imagine my excitement to hear that Sega was going to…
There has only been a limited context in which American audiences have been familiar with KT Tunstall’s work. This experience has been tempered by the ever-presentness of eir lead single “Suddenly I See”, but Tunstall looks to create a completely different conception of eriself as a performer with “Tiger Suit”. “Fade Like A Shadow” is the disc’s first American single, bringing forth nods to other singer-songwriters of Tunstall’s ilk. This…
The Green Children just released their new album, Encounter, Tuesday. Watch their video (linked below) and win a copy of their latest releases – just read on.
Anyone that has children that watch Disney or has had time to be bored and flip around their cable have likely seen the oddly-animated show, Phineas and Ferb. Those that are in the first subset may have bought the original Phineas and Ferb title for the DS, back in February of 2009. Phineas and Ferb Ride Again is a considerably different title from the original offering, and pushes the Nintendo…
It seems as if a number of the different game shows (and traditional party games) that have been transformed into video games have been particularly poor. Whether it be early games about Classic Concentration or Jeopardy, or slightly newer titles about Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, it seems as if the titles are mainly made to capitalize on the next big thing. However, THQ has seemed to put their…
Die Antwoord is giving away a pair of one of a kind custom graffiti Beats By Dre hand drawn by Ninja and worn by Diplo in the “Evil Boy” music video. 5 lucky runner-ups will receive an autographed copy of the band’s debut full-length album, $0$, along with a Die Antwoord poster. Die Antwoord have been making waves with their unique Zef style next level music which will be available…
