Wavves Rises To Greater Heights

Before 2013 I had heard little of anything by the band Wavves. What I had heard was a few songs off of their most well known record (and at this time still most well known, at least until March 26th) King Of The Beach. I had liked it well enough, […]

Jack, The Guy Who Really Doesn’t Do Much

#8220;Jack the Giant Slayer” is the 2013 fantasy-adventure film (as we’ve had a shortage of these films) from director Bryan Singer.

A Theory on an Overrated Big Bang

Star-gazers and enthusiasts of the physical universe as a whole, I am sorry to say this will not be about the event that created everything and anything.  I am in no way qualified to speak of such grandiose thinking, which is why I write about television, and why this article […]

A Good Day For Die Hard To Die

  Don’t see this movie.  In a perfect world that would be all that’s required to know about this film but since The Clock has a required minimum word count for articles let’s elaborate.  A Good Day to Die Hard is the second attempt to revive an action franchise that […]
