Music Review: Slash and The Conspirators ‘World On Fire’

You know what. Normally I hate Mondays. They represent the start of another week of work and drudgery and when I was a kid it meant school. Eeew. This past Monday was a little different though. The path has been clawed out in rock and roll granite and the gods of Hard Rock smiled on

Recap: Bravo’s “Below Deck” Pillow Stain-Gate

Oh Kat, you were doing so well this season! I actually thought you had learned a little bit of professionalism and decorum on Season One of Bravo’s “Below Deck.” But I was wrong. Between the audio porn show you and Ben put on for most of the crew and the white spot the two of

Recap: The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Amber Alert

What the hell was that? I just sat through the biggest waste of time watching “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” on Bravo. The whole episode could have been condensed into 10 minutes and been far more interesting. They should have done a barf-bag insert in “People Magazine” this week like the scratch&sniff one they

Recap: BravoTV ‘Below Deck’ #PenisGate

The Congress Review

A great cast gives it their all but are sampled one time too many by Ari Folman’s sci-fi monster. Screened at the 40th Seattle International Film Festival, Ari Folman’s follow-up to his Oscar nominated “Waltz with Bashir” is an engaging live action-animation hybrid that runs a hard race but fails to make the big score.

The Green Prince Review

A real life spy thriller proving the truth is stranger than fiction. It is unusual, but not unheard of, for a young Palestinian to be recruited by Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence machine to provide inside information on Hamas. So there is little amazing in the 2010 ABC News story that Mosab Hassan Yousef , “The

Last Days in Vietnam Review

Emotion packed thriller of America’s Southeast Asia Dunkirk. In the year of 1975 both American and the Republic of South Vietnam were struggling, against the odds, to bring peace with dignity to Southeast Asia. The Paris Peace accords of two years’ earlier had established a framework of commitment and cooperation to end the war. In
