Movie Review: Cloverfield
Fri Jan 18, 2008 2:51 AM EST
I went for a midnight showing of Cloverfield tonight, against my better judgment - I've been pretty sick the past day or two and the thought of shivering with the chills, a sore throat and a nasty cough in a room full of half-drunk strangers watching a movie I half suspected was …

Old Album Review - David Bowie, The Man Who Sold the World
Mon Dec 17, 2007 10:52 AM EST
It seems to me that everyone has a different favorite David Bowie album. Sure, we all love Ziggy - but the magic of Bowie seems to be that he is able to speak to each of us in our own language.

Movie Review - 30 Days of Night
Tue Oct 30, 2007 12:17 PM EDT

Mon Feb 12, 2007 2:00 AM EST
I'd like to tell you all about a little Japanese film called Moonchild. It's not my favorite film, it's not going to appeal to everybody and it's not perfect, but I assure you it's a gem.
