I first heard about Grace Potter and the Nocturnals a few years ago when the band’s single, ‘Falling or Flying’ was featured on Grey’s Anatomy. I never really got into the show, but occasionally checked out the season soundtrack(s) on iTunes. Potter’s vocals...
Inception
posted by Cory
After a summer of grossly mediocre movies, it’s time to stretch your brain with something entirely new. Prepare yourself for Inception, the latest hype from director Christopher Nolan. Leo and his friends use futuristic technology and extensive planning to manipulate the dreams of other people. But what you don’t realize is that Nolan is implanting his own ideas in your mind the entire time.. Even from a critical standpoint, the acting is top notch – every single actor/actress delivers an outstanding performance that adds humor and depth to the movie. I have no complaints about Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role...
Iron Man 2
posted by Cory
Robert Downey Jr. has completely re-energized the classic Iron Man series by turning Tony Stark into a cultural icon, similar to Depp’s ‘Jack Sparrow’ or Ledger’s ‘Joker’. In my opinion, his performance in the original film was the primary cause of the...

I have to admit that the Pokemon series has been one of the most prominent video game experiences in my life. From the old school days of Red, Blue, and Yellow to the upcoming 5th generation of Pokemon Black and White, I still get excited at the announcement of a new Pokemon game. I never...

After a ten year hiatus, Sade returns with a powerful, yet intimate new album – ‘Soldier of Love.’ At 51 years old, Sade Adu still looks and sounds fantastic. Even though there was a significant amount of time between this album and her last, the musical style of...
Final Fantasy XIII

Let me preface this review by stating that I am by no means a Final Fantasy fanboy…actually, I am quite the n00b to the series. This is the first Final Fantasy game that I have ever played and would like to analyze the game as an individual installment in a well-respected series of...

Avatar. If you haven’t heard about this movie by now, you should seriously consider getting out more often. Between fanboy praise and extreme criticism, this movie has received a buttload of hype – and for a lot of great reasons. Avatar has truly set the bar for film CGI...

Who is this GaGa? She’s taken the world by storm over the past few years and emerged as one of the biggest pop stars of the past decade. That’s quite an improvement from working late nights as a New York waitress. This album follows the same theme as “The Fame”...

Since Norah Jones’ first album, ’Come Away with Me’ debuted in 2002, I have really come to respect her as an artist. She seems to enjoy music passionately and care less about the spotlight. She frequently plays in smaller venues and bars – often remaining unnoticed...
Assassin’s Creed 2
posted by Cory
A lot of people had several issues with the first Assassin’s Creed (myself included). The storyline was often diluted by extremely repetitive quests and lack of character development. The AI grew increasingly glitchy as the game progressed and Altaïr had a overly American accent that stuck out like a sore thumb within the beautiful environment of the game. That being said, the plot was intriguing and the graphics are still quite impressive today. Let me begin by saying that every issue critics posed at the original Assassin’s Creed has been drastically improved in the newest installment. The story begins right where the...

When the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance came out in late 2006, the multi-platform game generated some of the highest sales for the year. Literally, this game was released on eight systems, including the original Xbox and PC. The storyline was interesting and the cinematics were exciting....
