$5 MP3 Album Deal: ‘Aerosmith – Big Ones’ Posted: 29 Nov 2011 02:52 PM PST For a huge selection of high quality MP3 albums at low prices there's no better place to shop online than at Amazon. Every month the website hosts a wide variety of downloadable album for only $5 at their MP3 Store. Each month, they have 100 titles available on sale, each of which will only set you back a single digital Abe Lincoln. Since individual MP3s tend to sell for 99 cents each at least you're saving yourself a few bucks as well. Among the sweet deals Amazon is offering in November you'll find titles from artists such as Lauren Hill, Bob Dylan, the Black Keys, George Thorogood and the Destroyers, John Coltrane, Temple of the Dog, The Band, and more. I decided to turn the spotlight on a title from a band I once held in the highest regard, and that's Aerosmith's 1994 greatest hits compilation Big Ones [...]

Movie Review: Hugo Posted: 29 Nov 2011 01:15 PM PST Hugo Directed by Martin Scorsese Starring Asa Butterfield, Chloe Grace Moretz, Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Christopher Lee, Ray Winstone, Helen McCrory, Emily Mortimer, Jude Law Release Date: November 23, 2011   Martin Scorsese encounters no intense turmoil as he thwarts his inner urge to make another violent picture and involves himself with a luminously adventurous 3D film that has a little orphan boy at its center, as well as an immense homage to cinema. In one of the most inventive films of the year, Scorsese's Hugo is an indelible delight that is meant to enchant audiences of every age. The way he uses this immersive 3D technology is enchantingly beautiful, bringing a distant world and all of its once unexplored recesses into our immediate presence [...]

DVD Review: Black Country Communion – Live Over Europe Posted: 29 Nov 2011 12:07 PM PST Black Country Communion - Live Over Europe U.S.: DVD | Blu-ray U.K.: DVD | Blu-ray Mascot Records Release date: October 24, 2011 One of the best supergroups of the last few years has released a live DVD to prove to those who didn't catch them over the summer that they are just as impressive live as they are on their albums. Shot over three nights at shows in Hamburg, Munich and Berlin, Germany last summer, Black Country Communion Live Over Europe is a document of a rock band at a key period in their career. The summer festival circuit is where bands go to make their name and spread the word. To be fair to the guys, Black Country Communion's name was already pretty well known. After these kind of performances, their word was gospel [...]

Comic Review: Pilot Season: Theory of Everything #1 Posted: 29 Nov 2011 10:10 AM PST Pilot Season: Theory of Everything #1 Created by Dan Casey, Nick Nantell Written by Dan Casey Art by Thomas Nachlik Colors by John Rauch Letters by Troy Peteri Cover by Eric Jones Top Cow Productions Release Date: November 30th, 2011 Cover Price: $3.99 I was supremely disappointed in Theory of Everything #1. It was a book that had so much potential, but like some of Top Cow's other Pilot Season comics, quickly became very predictable and almost boring. Writer Dan Casey tries to tell his story in an almost backwards fashion using flashbacks and referencing things that the reader doesn't know about to try and convey some sort of mystery in the book, but it's never really executed effectively. There's groundwork here for a very interesting comic series, but this issue was too full of the standard run of the mill storytelling "tricks." [...]

Get Ready To Go Back To Smallville With ‘Smallville: The Complete Series’ Box Set Posted: 29 Nov 2011 08:01 AM PST Ready to revisit Smallville High yet? And now that Smallville: The Complete Series is out today, I'm wanting to go back more than ever before. The 62-disc box set boasts 192 hours of material, which includes all 218 episodes and over 5 hours of brand new content. And that new content is pretty freaking sweet. What they're offering here is a never-before-seen Superboy pilot shot in 1961, a look back at the series with over 100 minutes of material, a decade of comic con featurette, and so much more, including DC's Secret Origin documentary [...]

‘Star Trek Book of Opposites’ Boldly Goes Where No Early Learning Book Has Gone Before Posted: 29 Nov 2011 07:00 AM PST Finally, a children's book made just for you parental geeks to help your mini-geeks learn all about opposites! Out today from Quirk Books, Star Trek Book of Opposites is no boring board book! Author David Borgenicht boldly goes where no early learning book author has ever gone before to teach the basics of happy and sad, appear and disappear, together and apart, etc., all in twenty-four colorful pages of photos right out of the 1960's Star Trek episodes. You can see sample pages at the end of this article [...]
