X-Live at The Sinclair

by Sean Koepenick August 29, 2014

image via Cambridge, MA Yes, this was a Tuesday night. But it is X for chrissakes, so who cares? I had missed them the last time they came to town, so it was time to get back on that horse. I arrived at the club around 8 PM. Since I was already at my 2 […]

by Tony Shea August 23, 2014

image via By now, Torrance, California’s own Quentin Tarantino has etched his name onto the wall of great American filmmakers. Along the way QT has won a slew of awards, both here at home and abroad, become wildly rich, and established a trademark style that is as visceral as it is distinctive. The teaser for […]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TMNT – Review

by Nate "Chops" Johnson August 5, 2014

I know what you’re thinking. Yet another TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES reboot? How desperate is Nickelodeon to make this property the cash cow they want it to be? How many more lame incarnations of this franchise can there be before they finally put it to bed? Well ladies and gentlemen, trust me, I had very […]

Review of Correspondence From the Goddess by Andrew G. Foltz

by Mike Monroe July 24, 2014

Art by http://carlchrappa.deviantart.com/ There’s a lot of writing on the internet, and a lot of it’s not very good.  Imagine if you wanted to go out and listen to some music, but you had no money.  In our metaphorical scenario, the only place you can listen to music for free is a karaoke bar.  So […]

Under the Skin Goes Deep – PPV Roundup Review (Warning Spoliers)

by Tony Shea July 19, 2014

Jonathan Glazer’s (Sexy Beast, Birth) most recent film Under the Skin is wildly different from any mainstream film you’ve seen in the last year, a darkly hypnotic work of almost pure cinema that seduces you with its mystery–and one that you should absolutely check out now on PPV.

The Leftovers is Stale

by Tony Shea July 1, 2014

Last Sunday night marked the debut of Damon Lindelof’s eagerly anticipated new show,“The Leftovers,” on HBO. Lindelof is of course most famous for having created and written many episodes of the game changing ABC series Lost, which was a show essentially concerned with ideas – and not a procedural cop show or courtroom law show or […]

Good Mistake – Mr. Little Jeans [Addictive] – SONG of the Day

by Tony Shea April 4, 2014

image via My favorite music coming out of Los Angeles right now is Mr. Little Jeans. This song “Good Mistake” is becoming some kind of addiction, I’m afraid. I keep scratching trying to get to the bottom of it, but I can’t seem to get there, listening to it over and over. Maybe’s it because […]

DVR Roundup – The Canyons Is the Worst Film You Will Ever See

by Tony Shea March 26, 2014

Beginning this week I’ll be starting a new column where I review films that have been clogging up my DVR, some old, some new. Today I’ll be reviewing Paul Schrader’s 2013 film, “The Canyons,” which is so unrelentingly terrible that it makes “Grown Ups 2” seem like “Citizen Kane” by comparison. If you’re in a […]

Over the course of 30 years, and 11 albums, so far, Reverend Horton Heat, aka Jim Heath, has been blending surf, rock, punk, psychobilly, jazz, rockabilly and country into his own sizzling brand of rock and roll. With influences that include Link Wray, Scotty Moore, Bill Hailey and the Comets, and Dick Dale, Reverend Horton […]

Richie Ramone-Live at Dusk-Providence, RI

by Sean Koepenick March 12, 2014

image via Hard to believe that this was my first show in 2014, but that’s only because Roky Erickson was cancelled two days earlier due to bad weather. Continuing my quest to meet all surviving Ramones before I croak, I ventured out to a new venue that I had not seen a show at before […]

Chronicles of the Underrated: WWE Wrestler

by Mike Monroe March 5, 2014

So you may be asking yourself “Are we really doing this?”  Wrestling’s fake, right?  So how could there possibly be a most underrated professional wrestler?  Like many as a child, I was one day confronted with the world-shattering news that Hulk Hogan wasn’t really beating anyone up.  It wasn’t quite as bad as when I […]

Oscar Nominated Short Films Part 2: Live Action

by Jay Hood March 1, 2014

I find it hard to rank the Oscar Nominated Short films in the live action category. Between each short, a parade of talking heads ranging from Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave) to Matthew Modine expounded upon how it is the job of the short film to serve a story by getting to the root […]
