I know I must be getting old. I was not even aware that Gormiti: Lords of Nature was based off a children’s television franchise. For those like me, this does not mean that Gormiti: Lords of Nature is a title that can be slept on. Rather, it represents a black sheep in terms of contenders for the best NDS game of the year. Also released for the Wii, Gormiti represents…
The Dead Boys have always been the Rodney Dangerfield of punk rock. They had the chops, but never really got the respect or credit they deserved for their role serving on the front lines of the New York punk scene in the late 70’s. They shared stages, groupies and drugs with The Ramones, but never quite got the amount of fame that their buddies achieved.
Despite much of the cast leaving the hospital, there are quite a few good things that viewers can see about this season of Scrubs. J.D. (Zach Braff) is still present, albeit in a reduced role as mentor to the new group of doctors at Sacred Heart, Lucy, Cole, and Drew. The dynamics that each of have in regards to each other, the more tenured members of the staff, and even…
Just being able to have a new version of one of metal’s best known and strongest albums in a shiny and fresh CD is enough of a reason for individuals to retire their cassette tapes or vinyl. However, Capitol has added an entirely new disc of rare tracks for listeners to sink their teeth into. These tracks were pulled from Queensrcyhe’s November 1990 performance at the Hammersmith Odeon in London,…
If you’ve never heard of the Spike TV show Blue Mountain State then you’re clearly not a 14-year-old boy. The half-hour comedy centers around the players and hangers-on of the Blue Mountain State football team The Goats. The humor, though inarguably juvenile, is occasionally funny. Sophomoric sex jokes are par for the course, but when you think about it, a comedy classic like Animal House was built around sophomoric sex…
If ever there were a case of the cast making the movie, Boogie Woogie is it. The story is interesting enough, but it’s the all-star cast, some of indie and mainstream films best, that takes the movie from good to great.
Check it at the top of your screen. Done by Danica, who has paid the cost to be the boss. Thank you. 😀
We have had the chance to review a number of different Square Enix titles in the time since we began working with them, but I know that I still think of the company as one that publishes RPGs. Front Mission Evolved, a title that was developed by Double Helix Games (Silent Hill: Homecoming, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) is the latest game to have the Square Enix stamp of…
The Cleveland Show is further evidence that whenever Seth MacFarlane has a new project out, ey throws all of eir weight into creating the best possible show. Where Family Guy was once the best show, it rapidly turned into American Dad and now is The Cleveland Show. This DVD set showcases everyone’s favorite sidekick – Cleveland Brown, eir son and a host of new characters. These characters range from the…
To celebrate the release of Rise Against’s forthcoming DVD, Another Station: Another Mile, the Chicago based band is giving away 15 autographed copies to fans across the country. The DVD, which will be available worldwide and also digitally through iTunes on October 5th, features performances of 14 songs, including the fan favorites “Savior” and “Re-Education (Through Labor)” recorded in locations throughout the world.
At this point, if you’ve never seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest or don’t at least have an idea of the premise, you aren’t even reading this review. For everyone else, you only need to know that this massive re-release is a film aficionado’s dream.
It’s been a hell of a long time since I wrote up a show review, so I have to apologize if this is particularly garish. Anyways, Checkers and Trophies is a bar stuck in the middle of residential Kent, and is one of those locations that I have actually never attended before tonight. Learning earlier this week that there was a show at the bar (and a $2 cover at…
“The Highest Highs & The Lowest Lows” truly begins when The Jesus Rehab gets to “If It Feels Good It Is Good”, a track that immediately defies convention. It simply has something for everyone, whether they are fans of Weezer, The New Radicals, or even Eve 6. The Ben Folds-esque piano turns this track into something that would easily be on rock radio, ensuring the band a spot on the…
This is a test of the App review system. If this were to be a real document, you probably wouldn’t be reading it. It would be locked away in my journal somewhere that you couldn’t find it. SimpleNote, a simple text editing App, claimed little. PlainText, does the same. Hog Bay only claims that the App is easy to use, and will sync up to your Drop Box. With a…

No worries, thanks to the History Channel and A&E Home Video, you can get up to date on the entire history of our country in just nine enjoyable hours. Spread out over 3 DVDs, America: The Story of Us is a visually impressive look at the founding of the country narrated by Liv Schreiber,…
Four records into it and American Hi-Fi are still living blissfully in the 90’s. It makes sense, given that front man Stacy Jones played drums for Letters to Cleo and Veruca Salt, two successful 90’s alt rock bands. On Fight the Frequency, the band’s first album in five years, American Hi-Fi plays competent alt rock with plenty of sing-along choruses, crunchy distorted guitars and tight drumming. What’s lacking is simply…
In anticipation of the release of Serj Tankian’s sophomore studio album Imperfect Harmonies on September 21st, Serj Tankian is giving you the chance to win two huge prize packs! One (1) Grand Prize winner will receive a recording software bundle of AmpliTube iRig/ AmpliTube Fender/ Miroslav Philharmonik plus the T-RackS 3 Mastering Software, an Epiphone Guitar, as well as the new album and a shirt.
Three seasons into it and The Big Bang Theory is still nowhere close to losing its rep for being one of the most original sitcoms still being churned out by one of the major networks.
Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil is pretty blunt about his reasons for penning his autobiography. It has little to do with setting the record straight, though there is a little of that, and not much to do with settling scores, though his feelings about his fellow band members and managers are pretty clear as well. Neil sees Tattoos & Tequila as simply another way to “build his brand” as his…
HBO’s latest comedy Bored to Death is yet one more example that cable, not network TV, is where you turn for original shows. The series centers on novelist and sometime magazine writer Jonathan Ames (Jason Schwartzman) who, out of boredom and on a whim, puts an ad on the Internet advertising his services as an unlicensed private investigator. The cast is rounded out by his buddy Ray (Zach Galifianakis) and…
