Welcome to the Darkness Movie Review

For those unfamiliar, The Darkness rose out of the UK music scene in early two-thousand and then struck gold (and platinum) with their debut album Permission to Land in 2003. It was popular world-wide and sold 1.5 million copies in the UK alone. Their mix of heavy guitar-centric music and outrageous showmanship struck a nerve with the public at that time and they rode the wave until it all came crashing down.   //     The band's lead singer Justin Hawkins and his ...

The Iron Claw Movie Review

The Patriarch of the family, Fritz Von Erich was a wrestler with a successful career, but it never reached the heights he thought due. This caused him to over-invest in his children’s lives and forced them to be myopic in seeing their future.

Mean Girls Movie Review

Starting with an almost word for word recreation of the original film, when the first musical number arrives it reminds you that this version is something new. The voices behind those songs are average at best but this does well to sell the illusion that these are high-school kids not professional singers. The lyrical content is also believable.   //     For a work with mean in the title, this version is decidedly kinder and even more gentle. The personal ...
