Piano Lessons

Piano Lessons San Francisco are hard to get for a proper price. There is no lack to the sheer amount of individuals that require piano lessons, but it seems as if most of the teachers have an extremely busy schedule. Rather than go and have some form of advance system that would assign individuals to students, it just seems as if teachers will go and set up their own schedules.…

Winter Events

There are a number of different Seattle Upcoming Events that would be of prime interest to attend. There are a number of art galleries, restaurants and museums providing piano recitals and orchestral performances. As the weather gets colder, it seems like that there nothing to do. I believe that taking a weekday to see some talented musicians play through the classics is absolutely sublime. As long as they are well…

The Snorks – The Complete First Season (DVD Set)

  I always thought that The Snorks were one of the strongest kids shows of the eighties, and that this cartoon never got the love that it truly deserved. The video quality of the episodes captured here is extremely sharp; I would contend that the transfer is miles above what individuals would have seen during its original air date. The audio is sharp, ensuring that viewers can have an immersive…

Entourage: The Complete Series (DVD Set)

  It’s almost shocking to think that HBO could take a show about a group of truly unlikeable douche bags and make it so thoroughly compelling.

The Slut (DVD)

  The Slut (2011, Israel) is a vital film in terms of philosophy regarding sex workers. What constitutes prostitution and when is it a permissible life decision? What role do government-played rules and laws play in the lives of remote farmers and citizens? Hagar Ben-Asher is Tamar, a mother that is forced to eke out a living and offer herself as payment for those tasks which she is unable to…

41 (DVD)

  George H.W. Bush is a rare example of a modern United States President that only served one term (Carter represents the other case in the last 50 years). That alone would provide more than enough fuel for viewers to be fascinated throughout this documentary’s runtime, but there is free and unfettered access to the former president himself. The types of topics that are broached during 41 seem to know…

The Expendables 2 (Blu-Ray)

  The Expendables 2 is pound for pound the beefiest action movie that has ever been released, and the crazy action and bigger than life feel translates nicely to the home theater.

Take an hour and a half and watch the powerfully engaging High Ground and then you’ll realize what struggle and perseverance really looks like. The documentary profiles 11 wounded vets from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts (along with the mother of one soldier killed overseas)…

Your Sister’s Sister (DVD)

It’s become cliché at this point to grouse that Hollywood doesn’t make good movies anymore. And yes, judging by the superhero/sequel-obsessed box office results from the past couple of years that argument can reasonably be made. And then along comes a movie like Your Sister’s Sister, which totally deflates the argument that good films no longer find their way out of Hollywood. Absolutely beautiful in its scripting, casting and acting,…
