Everywhere you go, you are bound to see mixed reviews for Alice In Wonderland. Some will hate it, while others won’t mind it, let me assure you that most people don’t know the story they are talking about. Let me preface my review by telling you that I have always been a freak about the Alice In Wonderland stories. There are two stories by Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland and a later sequel called Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there. Tim Burton’s version was a hodge podge grab all from both...

Brooklyn’s Finest follows the story of three police officers in the 65th precinct of the NYPD. Eddie Dugan(Richard Gere) is the 22 year veteran one week out of retirement (hello cliché!). He is being forced to work with young wide-eyed naive rookies that draw his ire. Salvatore “Sal” Procida (Ethan Hawke) is a devout Catholic with a family of four and two more on the way that rely strictly on his officer’s salary to get by. His mold-filled home is causing health issues for his wife and he desperately...

Tonight’s episode centered around Sayid and the fine line he treads between evil and good. The alternate reality for him barely showed anything. We see that his brother has married his love, Nadia and had two children with her, while he has been working a very normal, boring job. His brother gets into some financial trouble and basically asks Sayid to “wack ‘em” and he refuses, saying he is not that person. Ok, so in the alternate world that possibly Jacob did not interfere, Sayid moves on after the war...

When the doors opened and I got a look at the crowd that began filing into the Beaumont Club on Sunday night, I got a feeling that the show would be special.  People of all ages and walks of life entered with smiles of anticipation and nods to each other in understanding of what they were about to witness.  It was heartening to see so many different types of people gathered together to have a party – which is exactly what Larry and His Flask, Strung Out and The Dropkick Murphys did.  They had one wicked-ass party for Kansas...

As we had previously posted, Starlight Theatre was taking a survey to gauge interest in holding a screening of the concert film Another Version of the Truth: The Gift. The film was assembled by a group of passionate fans under the project name of “This one is on us” using band-shot footage that they released as a “gift” of the 2008-2009 Nine Inch Nails North America ‘Lights in the Sky’ tour. Well if you are a Nine Inch Nails fan, there is some great news. Response was good enough that Starlight...

There comes those rare moments where various pieces of things fall together to create something that is unmistakable from reality and the story it tells. Such is the case in the Kansas City Repertory Theatre’s production of BROKE-OLOGY. Broke-ology written by Kansas City, Kansas native Nathan Louis Jackson and using KCK as it’s setting is an intimate window into the lives of the King family masterfully crafted on the Copaken stage. When we first meet William (David Emerson Toney) and a very pregnant Sonia (Shamika...

Will Ryan and Angela go Crazy for The Crazies? Find out in the video review below! by Ryan Davis and Angela Davis

Rated R for some disturbing content involving violence and sexuality. Could there ever be an explanation for the rise of Nazi Germany?  One Austrian film maker puffs out his chest and spoon-feeds us his answer in 144 minutes of a beautiful (though outrageously masochistic) film, The White Ribbon. Our story begins in an unknown village in northern Germany, 1913.  At first, it seems to be a quiet, sleepy place held together by it’s strict authorities.  We are introduced to many of the inhabitants, including the baron...

Parody of eighties buddy cop films hits all the right parody notes but like some of it’s jokes, it goes on a bit too long. If you are a fan of 80’s buddy cop films, Tango & Cash, Lethal Weapon, 48 Hours, and Beverly Hills Cop then Cop Out maybe right up your alley. The entire film is a parody on those popular films from the eighties. It wasn’t immediately obvious to me that this was the case. For some reason I had it in my head that Cop Out, while being a comedy, would at least be a bit serious, like...

This is so right on and funny I just couldn’t wait to share it. Anyone who is a fan of Wes Anderson’s work, like myself can appreciate the hard work put into this YouTube parody of what it might be like if Wes Anderson had directed the first Spider-Man.

Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 Rating: M for Mature Content Descriptors: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Nudity, Sexual Content (They aren’t kidding when they say M for Mature folks!  This isn’t for kids under 17.) If you like God of War but own an Xbox 360, then “hold onto your butts,” because EA has come out with their answer to the Sony exclusive game that has thrilled gamers for the past 5 years.  Unfortunately, Visceral Games seemed to think that in order to make Dante’s Inferno...
