$5 MP3 Album Deal: Rock Star Soundtrack

Posted: 27 Nov 2011 05:52 PM PST



Another choice pick on Amazon's $5 MP3 Album Deals list is the Rock Star Soundtrack.

The compilation of "Stranglehold" (Ted Nugent), "Wild Side" (Motley Crue), "Lick It Up" (KISS), and "Livin' On A Prayer" (Bon Jovi) is worth the $5 price. Throw in a whole bunch of songs by the Rock Star's band in question, Steel Dragon, which includes actual guitars by Zakk Wylde and drums by Jason Bonham. Don't worry, Mark Wahlberg's singing voice is performed by the awesome Miljenko Matijevic of Steelheart, as well as Yngwie Malmsteen vocalist Jeff Scott Soto [...]

Book Review: Angelfall by Susan Ee

Angelfall

Angelfall
By Susan Ee
Penryn & the End of Days, Book 1
Kindle
Feral Dream
$2.99
Release date: May 21, 2011


A post-apocalyptic novel set in a world where angels have taken over (not the cute Valentine's Day card, but the biblical "we destroy everything in our path" type), Angelfall establishes a version of Earth that has become a wasteland and battle ground for the squabbles between angels and fallen angels. In the midst of this, a teenage girl, Penryn, finds herself caught up in the angel drama when she witnesses a fight and gets caught in a skirmish between some feuding angels. One minute Penryn carries her younger sister, Paige, down a flight of stairs, and the next, she witnesses the Archangel Gabriel dying (apparently, there's footage of him being gunned down from the pile of rubble that was Jerusalem) [...]

Movie Review: J. Edgar

Posted: 27 Nov 2011 11:58 AM PST

J. Edgar movie poster

J. Edgar
Directed by Clint Eastwood
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer, Naomi Watts, Judi Dench
Release Date: November 11, 2011


Submerged in sloppy sentiment, J. Edgar, Clint Eastwood's latest directorial effort, is unrelieved of its melodramatic characteristics, growing sappier as the film approaches its conclusion. Instead of getting an aggressively bold portrait of J. Edgar Hoover, a man undoubtedly built into the firmament of American history, we get a dreary and almost entirely lifeless (save for Leonardo DiCaprio's vigorous performance as Hoover) film that teeters on a precipitous cliff until it finally crumbles and dissolves into a pool of cheap melodrama.

Mr. Eastwood usually navigates keenly the narrow road that divides drama from melodrama. We have been accustomed, to the point of being spoiled, to witness him effortlessly depict his craft in top form in Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby, two films that could have easily mingled with cheap sappiness but instead were rescued by assured direction and consistently intelligent scripts [...]
