Criminal activity always seems oh so sexy, doesn’t it dear readers? But I swear it isn’t until the bitter end of the barrel that the people who live this way become regretful of their actions. A tale as old as time, but an entertaining one nonetheless. American Made (2017) Cast: Tom Cruise, Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah…
So much protest, so much hate, so much to consider. But also so much to celebrate. There’s this theory (most would saw governing law!) in science about energy and how it can exist in a variety of forms, such as electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, or nuclear, and can be transformed from one form to another. I’m hoping…
As a child of the eighties I had the great misfortune to have missed out on grindhouse cinema. Sitting in a theatre all day, watching raw and wriggling film seems like an excellent way to spend your time, but alas I will never get to have that experience. If only there were movies out there…
How does that old song go? The road is long, with many a winding turn, that leads us to who knows where, who knows where. A common theme in rock music, but one that only the worthy get to call their own. Luckily for us, this week’s review zeroes on one of those legends. The…
Not every story told follows the same narrative path as what preceded it. I mention this because Christopher Nolan has been directing movies since 1989 but it wasn’t until 2008’s The Dark Knight that we began to expect a certain tone from his films. Dunkirk (2017) Cast: Fionn Whitehead, Barry Keoghan, Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy,…
I love it when music gets you questioning the core of things. If an album can instantaneously shift my thoughts elsewhere, I know that it is moving, effective, and worth my attention. But yet, when it comes from a source that isn’t expected. N.E.R.D. – No_One Ever Really Dies released December 15, 2017 ******** 8/10…
What do you do with a drunken sailor? What do you do with a drunken sailor? What do you do with a drunken sailor, early on the morning? You kick him to the curb and tell him to sober up. Geez. It’s not that difficult people. Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) Cast: Colin Firth, Julianne…
I’ve been humbled once again. I bought a record on a whim, made some initial judgments based on the cover art and what I heard as I listened for the first time to a lean thirty seven minutes of modern country music, except that’s not what this is, at all. It’s an escape plan marked…
Paper is such a beautiful substance. Capable of so much expression, but entirely dependant upon communication and engagement support from whoever it interacts with. This film is like paper in all of it’s glory. In This Corner of the World (2016) Cast: Yoshimasa Hosoya, Laura Post, Jason Palmer, Todd Haberkorn, Rena Nounen Director: Sunao Katabuchi…
If you could name an up and coming country artist that’s done it all already, who do you think would fit that bill? I’ll give you two guesses for albums that have done that in 2017. But you only need one answer. Chris Stapleton – From A Room: Volume 2 released December 1, 2017 ********…
