Overview:
The ever popular Dave Matthews Band is back in a big way with “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.” It’s a much welcomed return from a creative group of musicians who make some pretty impressive music. This album is completely dedicated to the memory of the band’s late saxophonist LeRoi Moore, and it seems as the death of their friend motivated the band to create some really good songs.

Many of us (young people) have probably played a version of Mario Kart at some point in our lives, on N64, Game Cube, or another Nintendo product. The game was just one of those that was simple and fun and could be played as multi-player easily and effectively engage a group of people.
The Wii takes that to another level. Continue reading

I’d been excited about this movie since I saw the trailer, and I’ll start off by saying “IT DELIVERS”. It isn’t one of those comedies that shoots its wad in the trailer, wasting all the genuine laughs to con you into paying $8 to see it, and then providing nothing new or fresh, leaving you to exit the theater with the sensation that you’ve just been had. This movie is worth it for a variety of reasons. Continue reading

On April 4th the WWE celebrated what they called the 25th Anniversary of “the granddaddy of ’em all,” WRESTLEMANIA. I say “what they call” because for anyone familiar with anniversaries, they know that since there was no Wrestlemania 0 that the actual 25th Anniversary won’t come until next year. However, minor bitching aside, the event delivered a strong product (for the most part) and the DVD set is a nice addition to my collection for a variety of reasons. Continue reading

A sharp effort from the Chicago based band Rise Against proves both intelligent and hard-nosed, making for a good album with a lot to say from a band that isn’t afraid to say it.
Review:
Rise Against is a band out of the Windy City that provides a crisp hard rock/punk sound with relevant lyrics, powerful vocals, tight and precise guitar work, and intense drumming. Their 5th studio album, “Appeal to Reason,” is a motivated effort and it’s evident that this band isn’t like a lot of others in the Punk-Rock Genre these days. Rise Against actually has something to say.
Overview:
A recent college graduate returns to his hometown, and ends up having to work at a local amusement park called ‘Adventureland.’
Review:
The film comes to us from director Greg Mottola, of Superbad fame. Anyone going into this movie expecting Superbad Part Deux is going to be sorely disappointed, but that hardly means this movie isn’t good, because it’s a quality film with a lot to say, and it says it in an enjoyable and entertaining manner. It’s just not full of belly-laughs like Mottola’s last film. Continue reading
Overview:
An overall solid film with two very good lead performances and very intriguing direction leads to a rewarding film going experience, even if it is somewhat lacking in certain areas. Continue reading

In news that appeals to me as a man-child, The LA Times recently got some news from one of the franchises stars, Dan Aykroyd, about the next installment of the 80’s Film franchise. The entire gang seems to be on board, including Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, producer Ivan Reitman, and the final piece to the puzzle, BILL FREAKING MURRAY! That’s right, baby. Bill Murray is busting ghosts again. And you can color me bonered. Aykroyd has mentioned that production could start as soon as this winter!
