“Chronicle” Review
With recent flicks like Apollo 18 and The Devil Inside doing great harm to the “Found Footage” genre this past year, I had very low expectations for “Chronicle”. It wasn’t until I heard the decent-good reviews and I watched Max Landis’s brilliant [...]
The Mars Volta “Noctourniquet”
The Mars Volta was formed in 2001 by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala out of the ashes of their previous band At The Drive-In. Since then, The Mars Volta has gone onto critical and limited commercial success, though the band-members might not be [...]
Mumford & Sons “Sigh No More”
Mumford & Sons was a band that I had always heard about from friends and they’ve told me you have to listen to them, but for whatever reason I had never gotten the chance to sit down and listen to [...]

Red Hot Chili Peppers “I’m With You”
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are back! After five years since their last release the double disc Stadium Arcadium comes the newest Chili Pepper album I’m With You. Gone is guitarist John Frusciante who’s replaced by Josh Klinghoffer. Along with Klinghoffer’s new [...]
Ryan’s Follow up to The Rise of The Planet of the Apes Rant
In case you haven’t read my previous rant on Rise of The Planet of Apes I suggest you do that here. My main source of anger of this film is I thought that the premise was highly improbable. From the [...]
