Certain Songs Get So Scratched Into Your Soul: An Intro to The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady is my favorite band. That said, they aren’t for everyone. Not one person in my life enjoys them, and my best friend tells me over and over that he “doesn’t get it.”

Return of the King: Godzilla

I wasn’t a fan of monster movies as a kid. I fell asleep on Jaws when I was nine and Cujo ruined my relationship with dogs. Godzilla was the first monster movie I liked because they were fun movies to watch with my siblings on a weekend as we sorted through my dad’s old VHS […]

American Idol XIII: Top 2 – The Sleeper Vs The Rock Viking

In case you haven’t checked the polls from my previous article, it turns out that literally everyone who voted had already decided which team they were: Caleb or Jena, before even seeing the performances. Which is part of the reason I feel like the finale performance night doesn’t actually matter in the grand scheme of […]

Phillip Phillips Behind The Light

Album Review: Phillip Phillips Shines Bright from “Behind The Light”

Album Review: Coldplay Haunts with “Ghost Stories”

“The idea of “Ghost Stories”, for me, was ‘how do you let the things that happen to you in the past—your ghosts—how do you let them affect your present and your future?’ Because there was a time when I was feeling like they were going to drag me down and ruin my life, and the lives of those around me,” Chris Martin tells BBC Radio 1.

American Idol XIII: Top 3 Performance Show, Three’s a Crowd, Two’s a Finale…

It’s hard to believe that we’re already just a few days away from the big Idol finale. Season 13 has been a wild ride filled with inconsistent, but generally good performances and inconsistent, but general good judging and, well… inconsistent, but generally good results and all of those things held true during our Top 3 […]

Variety is the spice of life, and actors who solely act are becoming less and less common as the years go on. But actor Patrick Sabongui chose to add a different title onto his resume: stunt man.

American Idol XIII: Top 5 Choose Not To Stay Alive, Top 4 Are No More

The Top 5 show featured the contestants picking from a list of songs chosen by the twitter verse. Needless to say, I had high hopes because I figured the Idol audience could pick some really great songs that would push the contestants out of their boundaries. Let’s see if I was right…

Chatting with Maid Marian: Christie Laing on the OUAT Finale’s Big Twist

After Snow White and company spent the better half of the third season trying to defeat Zelena (better known as The Wicked Witch of the West), you’d think the witch’s death would mean happily ever after for our fairy tale heroes. Alas, that is not how things work on ABC’s Once Upon a Time. Sunday’s 2-hour finale found Emma and Hook sent back to the past via Zelena’s time portal, witnessing our favourite fairy tales unravel all over again — and trying their best not to change the future.
