Tony's Review of "Iron Man 3″

Tony Kerns — Mon, 06 May 2013 16:07:59 +0000

Another film trilogy has come to an end, but this trilogy has done what few before have been able to accomplish, save the best movie for last.

Taking place after the events of “The Avengers”, “Iron Man 3” opens with a flashback to New Year’s Eve 1999 where a very drunk and cocky Tony Stark is speaking at a symposium in Sweden, laying his moves on thick to scientist Maya Hansen, and blowing off disabled scientist Aldrich Killian who is promoting his think-tank, Advanced Idea Mechanics

Tony's Review of "Evil Dead"

Tony Kerns — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:19:23 +0000

Another remake? Yes, Hollywood has been out of original ideas for quite some time. However, “Evil Dead” takes the idea of a remake and does it the way it should, taking as little of the source material as necessary, and coming up with a new twist to make the new film a unique experience for the audience, both those new to the story and fans of the original

Tony's Review of "A Good Day To Die Hard"

Tony Kerns — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 05:26:23 +0000

The original “Die Hard” was a surprise action film that helped redefine the genre. In an age of muscular superheroes like Stallone and Schwarzenegger, an average looking television actor became the next major action star. Bruce Willis as John McClane was the first “everyman” to be believed as a major action hero, being the wrong [...]

Critic Rex Reed Slams Melissa McCarthy's Movie and Weight

Tony Kerns — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 03:09:30 +0000

According to Wikipedia, Film criticism is "the analysis and evaluation of films, individually and collectively. In general, this can be divided into journalistic criticism that appears regularly in newspapers, and other popular, mass-media outlets and academic criticism by film scholars that is informed by film theory and published in journals." But one critic seems to believe that includes attacking the film's

Tony's Review of "Warm Bodies"

Tony Kerns — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 18:38:57 +0000

A film by Summit Entertainment (the company that brought us “The Twilight Saga”), based on a book, starring a girl that looks like Kristen Stewart in a blonde wig, and it’s about a girl who falls in love with a dead guy? This sounds familiar. What am I getting myself into?! Wait… this movie’s good? [...]

Green Day, 'Oh Love' – Song Review

Joe Robinson — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:48:38 +0000

“Please don’t pass me by,” Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong sings near the beginning of ‘Oh Love,’ the first single from the first album of his band’s forthcoming trio of full-length releases, which are titled ‘¡Uno!,’ ‘¡Dos!,’ and ‘¡Tre!’ and are scheduled to drop in a series starting in September of this year, running through January 2013. While there was a period in the early part of the decade when it looked like music fans had moved on from Green Day, it seems like these days they have nothing to worry about — nobody is going to be passing them by.

Man I’m feeling the new “Black Stone Cherry”. If you’re a fan, it’s probably not new to you, but traditionally bands and record companies feed radio stations ‘one song at a time’ . We just got the latest release from Black Stone Cherry and it’s an EXCELLENT followup to “In My Blood”. More after the jump.

If You Now Love, Or Have Ever Loved, Horror Movies Go See "Cabin In The Woods" Now

Wes Nessman — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 15:24:50 +0000

Don’t let anyone spoil this movie for you, and this article will have no spoilers in it. I can only tell you that this movie is above and beyond most anything ever made. The fact is, it references most everything ever made. The problems with the previews is that since this whole movie is a twist, they can’t really tell you to much about what is going on. More after the jump:

Dress Codes are Stupid and so are People That Want Them

Heathen RockShow — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:27:06 +0000

This story specifically relates to the people and schools in Lubbock, TX, but I’m sure there are plenty of people wherever you live that this would apply to just the same.

So I was reading a news story about some local LISD trustee candidates as they discussed the dress code for our kids. I finally came to a realization. All of these people are idiots!

P.O.D., 'Lost in Forever' – Song Review

Amy Sciarretto — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:30:13 +0000

A decade ago, P.O.D. ruled radio, doling out hit after hit from 2001′s massive album, ‘Satellite.’ The band’s seamless blend of smart rock and rap was wrapped in melody. We’re glad to report the band still has those irresistible melodic chops on ‘Lost in Forever,’ their latest single which will appear on their Razor and Tie debut. While the band has shifted labels and lost (and regained) guitarist Marcos Curiel over the years, their musical foundation remains strong and the same.
