DVD Review: THE HOLE

THE HOLE DVD | ©2012 Big Air Studios

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Chris Massoglia, Haley Bennett, Nathan Gamble, Bruce Dern, Teri Polo Writer: Mark L. Smith Director: Joe Dante Distributor: Big Air Studios Release Date: Theatrical September 28, 2012; home video, October 3, 2012 THE HOLE may serve as a good test disc for the young would-be horror fan in your family. Approximately as scary as GREMLINS, one of THE HOLE director Joe Dante’s better-known credits, this movie doesn’t have flying gore or a body count, but it’s reasonably serious and creepy, and does have a few shots of a ghost with the back of his skull missing, along […]Read On »

Rating: PG Stars (voices): Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher, Jude Law, Dakota Goyo Writer: David Lindsay-Abaire, based on the short film and book by William Joyce Director: Peter Ramsey Distributor: DreamWorks Animation SKG RISE OF THE GUARDIANS is a 3D animated feature that brushes off the hoarfrost from notions like the importance of a child’s sense of wonder and makes something entertaining and even sometimes moving from it. Scripted by David Lindsay-Abaire from William Joyce’s short film and novel, RISE OF THE GUARDIANS actually feels like a fairytale, the kind that used to enthrall most of us […]Read On »

In Season 7 of DEXTER, on Showtime Sundays at 9 PM, Jason Gedrick plays George Novikov, manager of the Miami strip club the Fox Hole, which is owned by the Russian mob.

Schmidt, Roberta Valderrama, Brad William Henke Writer: Pat Charles, series created by Hart Hanson, based on the life and writings of Kathy Reichs Director: Tim Southam Network: Fox, Mondays @ 8 PM Airdate: November 19, 2012 It’s hard for BONES to sneak a march on us in the romance department, and in fact, we catch on a bit quicker than perhaps we’re meant to in “The Bod in the Pod.” Still, considering that most viewers won’t have picked up on the clues […]Read On »

Honestly, I expected this episode to be a complete disaster – as we see many of McKinley […]Read On »

Album Review: Marshall Crenshaw – I DON’T SEE YOU LAUGHING NOW E.P.

Marshall Crenshaw - I DON'T SEE YOU LAUGHING NOW | ©2012 Marshall Crenshaw

There’s no denying the power of Marshall Crenshaw’s power pop. With his 1982 self-titled debut album he brought a sense of rock and roll purpose with his catchy lyrics and crystal clean vocals. From “There She Goes Again” to “Whenever You’re On My Mind”, his music was in many ways out of place with the early 1980s synth movement. Which makes his music although the more timeless today. Throughout countless exceptional albums and just as many labels, he’s weathered the musical storm and found the best way to do business in the modern age is to get back to basics. […]Read On »

In the original, a handful of teenagers come together as a rebel unit that fights against the Russian occupation of the United […]Read On »
