I like most of the shows on Adult Swim. That is why I was looking forward to reviewing Metalocalypse. Though I’d never seen the show before, I had heard good things about it. A show that had the likes of Mark Hamill voicing a character should be okay in my book. Boy was I wrong. [...]

You just can’t beat the acting of classic actors like Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. In the late 30s and early 40s these two superlative actors starred together in multiple films. All of the films in The Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland Collection are musicals. If you haven’t heard Judy Garland sing then you are certainly missing [...]

Guest Post by: Tamaj Contemporary high school history teachers might just want to prescribe The Dead Guy Interviews to hook their more reluctant students.

One of the most controversial films to be released this year was A Mighty Heart. It wasn’t that the material presented in the film was necessarily controversial. However, the fact that the lead actress in the movie was Angelina Jolie made more than a few heads turn. Jolie, who is actually a superb actress when [...]

Roots is one of those mini-series that will change your life. It was one of the most owerful instances of television where America literally changed their perception of a group of people because of a show that was so powerful and moving. Through Roots, the perception of African Americans as well as slavery was able [...]

I’d been waiting for that blue and white box to come in the mail, with a sense of anticipation. I knew that I would be getting Sonik Synth 2 to review, so when it finally came, I was absolutely ecstatic. You see, for the greater part of the past 20 years, music has been my [...]
