What a strange sight to see – When fantasy meets reality and dreams became something more tangible. We all have dreams. And while sometimes it can be quite therapeutic to take a break from the hard work of the world and think upon what could be. But what if you were living your dreams right now?…
I like to think I’ve seen my share of horror movies. Mainly because I’m a child of the 80’s and horror movies were in their heyday between the 1980s and 1990s, so just as I was growing up I got to know the major successes of the time and watch them in the comfort (read:…
To be brief, I personally believe the most awesome power of music is that it can address specific emotions. And particular kinds of music have the ability to draw up those feelings in ways that no other kinds of sound can. Soul music easily comes to mind in this regard. As a white man, with a mixed ethnicity…
I enjoy a revenge flick just as much as the next guy, but sometimes how my mood is well determine which type of movie I want to settle in for. If I want something violent, mysterious and twisted than I’m feeling like Oldboy (the original) or Momento is the right choice. If I want something…
There is this really lame scene from 2007’s Spider-man 3 where Peter Parker gets upset with Eddie Brock, pushes him against a wall, and decides to expose him as a fake photographer.

Folk music has a soothing nature to it, it feels like clean soap and a warm basin full of water, like a brown bottle of beer dropped on a hard wood floor, like a summer dress brushing against the wheat fields. You know what they say right? Music can sooth even the savage beast, and…
You know that saying the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree? I was never a big fan of it myself, because when I was growing up I wanted to be my own man, with my own ideas; I didn’t want to bogged down by tradition and duplication. The problem with this attitude though…
The most interesting thing for many a youth is finding that coveted summer album they can play for the months ahead and be the cool kid, who knows what’s up. Thankfully I can count myself among that crowd this summer. I may be giving away the results of this week’s album review a tad early,…
Let’s be frank. Yes frank, not Sally, not Tommy, not Mary, or Sue, but frank. Frankly, I have enjoyed films most of my life, and the semi-indulgent nature of earning the knowledge associated with industry names, terms, and sitting through repeated viewings of films so that I can quote them, and call up details is…
