Alastair Moock's latest CD, "A Life I Never Had," is the third in a lineup of impressive musical releases that have spanned a half-decade.
There is no denying the fact that R. Kelly and Jay-Z are power hitters within the respective realms of R&B and hip-hop.
I was tempted to not actually listen to Celine Dion's "A New Day Has Come" in order to write this review.
Cas Edmunds is the Lars Ulrich of Weekend Excursion, i.e. resident drummer, spokesman and all around nice guy.
I am 22-years-old, a college student, in a fraternity, and all I ask from a movie about college is a few zingers I can apply to my own life.
Deep down, "Harrison's Flowers" fights to tell the story of a woman's desperate quest to restore a marriage torn apart by war.
"Blade 2" is a Marvel comic book brought to life on the big screen with vivid action. Counting on the pure enjoyment factor, it ranks up there with "Aliens" and "Terminator 2" for quality action flicks where the plot is an afterthought. The story picks up two years after the first one left off, grabbing viewers that know the story from the earlier film.

After exploring new genres with his last two novels, Charlottesville native John Grisham is back to writing legal thrillers.
Everyone has an incredibly funny friend in their crew who is always quick with the observational humor.
The pantheon housing the musical elite of the '90s builds its foundation on four pillars, bands that explored virgin territories and scenes only to emerge with archetypes for inspired successors. The arcane wit and lo-fi indie spontaneity of Pavement, Nirvana's ability to combine raw angst with the power to express it and Radiohead's insatiate thirst to cipher every genre of alt-rock through an emotional and creative firestorm, make the first three patent choices worthy of upholding the '90s legacy, but, as has rarely been evident, the most deserving choice is not the most obvious. No, the band whose remnants illuminate it as the best band of last decade, however subjective and capricious such a classification may be, sadly and ironically also bears the title of the most under-appreciated, partly because, unlike the aforementioned bands, it never truly fostered a desire for commercial success. Its original three members emerged from indigent Belleville, Illinois using simplicity to root out the complexity of its world.
Lately, it seems you can't turn around without seeing another animated kid's film appear on a movie theater marquee.
If nothing else, "All about the Benjamins" definitely lives up to its title. It seems that New Line Cinema was pursuing the same thing as the film's main characters - grabbing a whole lot of cash for as little effort as possible.
The trend toward reality television is unfortunately not going the way of the dodo bird. So ultimately, it becomes the responsibility of movie executives to capitalize off of this craze much in the way that they predicted it with the 90's film "Ed TV." And what better way to bring in the box office bucks than with two of our most beloved actors, Robert De Niro and Eddie Murphy.
I got it all wrong last year. Let's hope I've learned from my mistakes, the biggest of which was foolishly hoping the members of the Academy might, just might, give the last statuette to the real best picture of the year, "Traffic." They didn't.
This isn't your father's "Time Machine" - which is not necessarily a good thing. Adapted from the novel by H.G.
Video games have a pretty wretched history of being transferred to the screen, so nobody expected "Resident Evil" to be anything but a lame cash-in.
The Lo Fidelity Allstars certainly aim to please. After a three year hiatus from producing original material, "Don't Be Afraid of Love" presents a band that has not only dramatically changed since its previous album, but dramatically changed for the better.
Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, the notorious Neptunes, continue their voyage to take hip-hop to the edge on their debut solo album, "In Search of..." Under the pseudonym N.E.R.D.
One thing is clear from the moment you hit the door: you're not in Kansas anymore. This show has too much funk for there to be any doubt. Live Arts' production of "The Wiz," the musical version of L.
