I really do love The Fast and the Furious. The original movie, with all of it’s flaws, is a clear derivation from the equally ridiculous Point Break, and all of the challenges that came with telling a story about a cop gone native. The story was simple – Brian, as played by the late Paul Walker,…
I’m blue da ba dee da ba die, da ba dee da ba die, da ba dee da ba die. When I was a boy, I thought that was a cool song. But when I was a boy, I thought a lot of things were cool, and boy was I wrong. Luckily for all of…
Why is the stories from our youth always seem to have the most impact on us as adults? They leave a legacy all their own and one which compounds over and over again, creating ripples in the lives of those around us. A Monster Calls (2016) Cast: Lewis MacDougall, Sigourney Weaver, Felicity Jones, Toby Kebbell, Liam…
Maybe I’m just getting old now, and so I’m more impatient when it comes to my musical choices… But there is probably a reason I don’t go deep diving for nostalgia. It usually leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I’d rather see the person or place as they are now. Oh well, time…

For instance, the following questions are almost always on our collective minds. How can we be satisfied in life? How do we feel content? How do we be happy with what…
Let me tell you a story from when I was a young lad. A story that always reminds me of the past, but not because it is of my own past, but because it is a story of another history, one of long ago and far away. I first really and truly watched Star Wars when…
I think some of my favourite things about listening to music are when you can stumble across something you like but can’t believe that you didn’t already know about it. Or to put it another way, when you reconnect with music that you forgot you were a fan of. The Mavericks – Brand New Day released March 31, 2017…
