Tony's Review of "Iron Man 3″

Tony Kerns — Mon, 06 May 2013 16:07:59 +0000

Another film trilogy has come to an end, but this trilogy has done what few before have been able to accomplish, save the best movie for last.

Taking place after the events of “The Avengers”, “Iron Man 3” opens with a flashback to New Year’s Eve 1999 where a very drunk and cocky Tony Stark is speaking at a symposium in Sweden, laying his moves on thick to scientist Maya Hansen, and blowing off disabled scientist Aldrich Killian who is promoting his think-tank, Advanced Idea Mechanics

Tony's Review of "Evil Dead"

Tony Kerns — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:19:23 +0000

Another remake? Yes, Hollywood has been out of original ideas for quite some time. However, “Evil Dead” takes the idea of a remake and does it the way it should, taking as little of the source material as necessary, and coming up with a new twist to make the new film a unique experience for the audience, both those new to the story and fans of the original

Tony's Review of "A Good Day To Die Hard"

Tony Kerns — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 05:26:23 +0000

The original “Die Hard” was a surprise action film that helped redefine the genre. In an age of muscular superheroes like Stallone and Schwarzenegger, an average looking television actor became the next major action star. Bruce Willis as John McClane was the first “everyman” to be believed as a major action hero, being the wrong [...]

Critic Rex Reed Slams Melissa McCarthy's Movie and Weight

Tony Kerns — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 03:09:30 +0000

According to Wikipedia, Film criticism is "the analysis and evaluation of films, individually and collectively. In general, this can be divided into journalistic criticism that appears regularly in newspapers, and other popular, mass-media outlets and academic criticism by film scholars that is informed by film theory and published in journals." But one critic seems to believe that includes attacking the film's

Tony's Review of "Warm Bodies"

Tony Kerns — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 18:38:57 +0000

A film by Summit Entertainment (the company that brought us “The Twilight Saga”), based on a book, starring a girl that looks like Kristen Stewart in a blonde wig, and it’s about a girl who falls in love with a dead guy? This sounds familiar. What am I getting myself into?! Wait… this movie’s good? [...]

'Skyfall' Review

Tony Kerns — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 17:32:10 +0000

The missions of British Secret Service Agent James Bond have been on the big screen for fifty years now, and Agent 007 shows no signs of slowing down.

Carly Rae Jepsen, 'Kiss' – Album Review

Jessica Sager — Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:56:02 +0000

Carly Rae Jepsen isn't a one tricky pony. She's a two-to-three trick pony, if her debut U.S. album, 'Kiss,' is indication, and if she strays too far from what she knows, it doesn't end that well. But when her regular two or three tricks are so good, you don't mind hearing them over and over again... at least not at first.

Carly Rae Jepsen, 'This Kiss' – Song Review

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 18:48:08 +0000

'Call Me Maybe' was the biggest song of the summer of 2012, and singer Carly Rae Jepsen isn't backing down on the frothy, saccharine pop anthems while the weather changes and gets cooler. The song 'This Kiss' from her new album 'Kiss,' out Sept. 18, has been unveiled online, and it's as sweet and as cavity-causing as 'Call Me Maybe.'

Alicia Keys, 'Girl on Fire (Inferno Version)' Feat. Nicki Minaj – Song Review

Jessica Sager — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 16:33:56 +0000

News of Alicia Keys and Nicki Minaj‘s collaboration on ‘Girl on Fire (Inferno Version)’ hit our radar yesterday, but the track itself finally hit the Web today — and it doesn’t disappoint.

Justin Bieber, 'Believe' – Album Review

Sara D. Anderson — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 13:00:25 +0000

In an attempt to bridge the gap between adolescence and adulthood, Justin Bieber drops ‘Believe,’ his third studio effort and most mature record yet.

Now that he’s older, relatively speaking, his album listening party (held at Island Def Jam quarters earlier this week) lacked any sort of party streamers or festive flair. Rather, the focus — aside from the black and white promo shot of him as a modern James Dean, throwing swag at the camera — is his new music: A mix of synth heavy dance and melodic downtempo R&B tracks sprinkled with ballads and neo Doo-wop jams.

3OH!3, 'Do or Die' – Song Review

Scott Shetler — Wed, 30 May 2012 14:39:06 +0000

3OH!3 have released a new song called ‘Do or Die,’ an awkward mash-up of nearly every pop music trend of the past few years, including electronic synths, Auto-tune and dubstep breakdowns. The electropop band comprised of Nathaniel Motte and Sean Foreman scored its biggest chart success with 2009′s ‘Don’t Trust Me,’ which, despite the unfortunate [...]

Adam Lambert, 'Trespassing' – Album Review

Scott Shetler — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:22:55 +0000

When Adam Lambert signed a record deal after finishing second in Season 8 of ‘American Idol,’ some questioned whether his glam-rock leanings could be successful in today’s pop music environment. The singer and his following of Glamberts proved the doubters wrong with ‘For Your Entertainment,’ which produced a Top 10 single, earned a Grammy nomination [...]

Tony's Review of "21 Jump Street" [VIDEO]

Tony Kerns — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 01:25:12 +0000

Never did I think I would be looking forward to a movie with either Jonah Hill or Channing Tatum. I thought it to be even more unlikely that I would ever enjoy a movie with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. After seeing the original red band trailer for “21 Jump Street”, I was interested. After [...]

Spending Time With Your Children, There's an App For That – Top 5 Apps For Kids and Parents

Jen Harris — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:51:55 +0000

In a recent post I asked the question is it OK for young children to own devices such as iPads, Kindles, or NOOKs? I feel that as long as there is a balance, technology such as these can enhance a child’s learning rather than distract from it. As promised I wanted to share with you some of the top apps out there for children

Jasmine's Review of Amy Winehouse's New Album 'Lioness: Hidden Treasures'

Jasmine — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:22:27 +0000

Fans of Amy Winehouse have been patiently awaiting what will be the very last album from the late singer since her passing this summer, after her management declared this wouldn’t be a quote “Tupac situation” my heart sunk knowing the last recordings would be limited. But in true Amy fashion they are beautifully composed and worth [...]

Tony's Review of "A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas" [VIDEOS]

Tony Kerns — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 17:47:13 +0000

Just like my review of "Captain America", better late than never. However, unlike "Captain America" where I just didn't get around to seeing it for a month, I made the conscious decision to wait to see this movie until we were full into the Christmas season.

Set 6 years after the events of "Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle" and "Har

Mariah Carey + John Legend, 'When Christmas Comes' – Song Review

Scott Shetler — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:57:57 +0000

As the creator of ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You,’ the only song of the past 20 years strong enough to become a holiday classic, Mariah Carey has an obvious talent for writing festive songs for the season. On ‘When Christmas Comes,’ she joins John Legend for a sultry duet about giving the gift of love.
