Prince of Persia is right down the middle of the road
By Megan Carroll Like others before it, Prince of Persia is another forgettable video game adapted for the big screen, but there is one real difference with this one: it has legs. I can see a bright future for this Persian comedic adventure. It will make money and has “sequel ability.” Like the game of... »
The misadventures of Alice In Wonderland
By Megan Carroll I am in love with everything Tim Burton. For me, anything the man touches turns to gold; which is why the next few paragraphs were some of the hardest to write. Tim Burton’s take on Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, lacks a cohesive storyline and relies too heavily on 3-D... »
“Southern Son, So Far”
By Blake Bunch Singer/Songwriter Justin Burke has manned numerous musical projects before, namely Jupiter’s Garden, as well as several Rock/Funk bands consisting of close friends, but his new album harkens back to an old sound. Familiar originals are given new life after years of performance refinement, and new tunes invite fans back to the Folk/Blues... »
Movie review: Crazy Heart
By Megan Carroll Scott Cooper’s directorial debut, Crazy Heart, is a tired storyline that is only brought back to life through a spectacular performance by Jeff Bridges. Crazy Heart is based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Thomas Cobb and includes a phenomenal score produced and written by T-Bone Burnett. Bridges plays... »
Nine: Movie Review
By Megan Carroll Nine is truly a spectacle of the eyes and ears for everyone. It is packed with great talent, marvelous costumes and interesting choreography but lacks in making a true bond with the typical audience member. To fully appreciate this film you need to do your homework. As a young movie buff, I... »
MOVIE REVIEW: Up
By Megan Carroll With the holidays just around the corner, we’re all trying to save our pennies, so in the spirit of things I decided to cruise downtown to the $1.00 kiosk and see what I could find. There was a pretty good selection of films there and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw... »
Cirque du Freak fails miserably
By Megan Carroll Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant sucked the life right out of me. It was one of the worst film’s I’ve seen this year, hands down. All I wanted to do was get up and actually enjoy the rest of my Sunday, but I took one for the team. The series of books... »
Action and adventure in ‘The Nude’
By Kristin Hackler As much as we admonish others and remind ourselves with the oft quoted saying, the majority of us are still inclined to judge a book by its cover. I am ashamed to say that I did just that with a book that was given to me for review. As a lover of... »
Movie Review: The Hangover
By Megan Carroll- You know that old adage, “try, try again”? Well, Todd Phillips must have been listening when he heard it. Phillips has produced some rather forgettable films, starting in 2000 with Road Trip. Then he seemed to get started in 2003 when he directed Old School, a film that was met with some... »
