Chronicle: The Power is in Your Mind
The film “Chronicle,” one of the brand new films to come out in 2012, and uses the hand held camera technique like “The Blair Witch Project”. However, this film reinvents what this kind of genre of film can do, and it really pays off because of it. “Chronicle” tells […]

Clap Your Hands & Say….Meh
Oh yes, a new album indeed (or should I say oh yeah). During the holiday season of 2011, the iconic Brooklyn/Philadelphia based indie group Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (CYHSY) released their long awaited third album, Hysterical. The band hasn’t been remarkably busy; in fact, it is safe to […]
Oh, the Futility of It All
I am 23 years of age. I guess I always thought I’d be doing better at this point in my life. I should have graduated a year ago, and I should have a grown up job, and I should be paying back loans and wearing a tie in some […]
