Few musicians ever write a song incorporating an actor, but a song dedicated to actors in westerns can be counted off my hand. Sons of Sylvia, who won the competition TV show The Next Great American Band, has a song that fits right in there and it is probably one of their best songs of their new album,... Read more »

However, it blew me away. The acting was better, the story was better and the characters were better developed.... Read more »

Die hard fan. The first novel I ever finished was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

October 18, 2010
When a movie opens up with it’s protagonist about to kill himself only to be interrupted by his family in a very humorous manner just like this one did, you would expect a film riddled with dark humor and a non-traditional story. Sadly this was not that. It did anything but that and I was disappointed. It’s... Read more »
