Live Review: Kiss & Shinedown

Posted by: Randy Hazzard  •  July 29, 2013 @ 6:34pm

You wanted the best, you got mediocre at best. The most redundant band in the world- KISS.

I first saw them in 2000 during their Farewell Tour. I remember it so vividly. I was sixteen and I believed every word they said. Paul Stanley promised to play all night. I thought I was going to be out until four in the morning considering they had such a large back catalogue.

It hasn't been easy to ignore the disapproval that has been brewing online since the Cannes debut of Only God Forgives, the new film from Drive collaborators Ryan Gosling and director Nicolas Winding Refn. People have gone so far as to call the film "one of the worst ever made".

Well it was a bitter sweet Sunday last night in Bon Temp County. True Blood had some big reveals, laid some solid ground work for the rest of the season, and said goodbye to a fan favourite character.

Review: Red 2

Posted by: Randy Hazzard  •  July 18, 2013 @ 5:12am

If Jason Bourne didn't take himself so seriously, he would have fit in with the RED crew. If the Expendables worried more about stories and less about resurrecting dead careers, it would resemble the RED series.

I would much rather see Bruce Willis continue in the role of Frank Moses over John

McClain.

True Blood: F**k the Pain Away

Posted by: Andrew Burns  •  July 16, 2013 @ 4:42pm

Its been about 10 years since HBO's series OZ but it looks like they are back in the prison game. Gruesome acts on the incarcerated, vicious guards on power trips and inmates being sexuality assaulted. The only difference now is the monsters inside the prison are they are actually monsters.

Live Review: Alice In Chains

Posted by: Randy Hazzard  •  July 9, 2013 @ 7:33pm

It was devastating news in 2002 when I learned of Layne Staley's passing. He had so much character, angst, and emotion in his vocal delivery. Although Alice In Chains had been dormant for years, with Jerry Cantrell still popping out solo albums, I was hopeful that he would put the band back together after he got a few things out of his system.

True Blood: At Last

Posted by: Andrew Burns  •  July 8, 2013 @ 8:08pm

"At Last", the title for the latest True Blood episode, is a reference to a whole bunch of stuff coming to fruition. Maybe its because of the shorter season this year but True Blood isn't wasting any more time with set ups.

Critical Perspectives: The Zombie Apocalypse is Upon Us!

Posted by: Elizabeth Hughes Belzil  •  July 7, 2013 @ 3:42pm

There's a reason "critically acclaimed horror film" sounds like a paradox. The genre suffers from poor production values and inept acting. Clichés cling to them like mange on a stray dog. Their success lies in their ability to capitalize on the most primal human instinct: fear of death.
