Maggie Rose, 'Cut to Impress' – Album Review

Billy Dukes — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:00:53 +0000

‘Cut to Impress’ by Maggie Rose is one of the more entertaining listens of the year. Fans will either embrace the dark, swampy sound the singer creates with producer James Stroud, or they’ll be terrified by her bad girl persona and downright chilling stories. The album is no teddy bear. ‘Preacher’s Daughter’ and ‘Looking Back [...]

Shooter Jennings, 'The Other Life' – Album Review

Billy Dukes — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 16:16:23 +0000

Fans of early albums from Shooter Jennings will appreciate the singer's return to center on 'The Other Life,' his sixth studio album, available for purchase as of March 12. Still far from mainstream, the collection of songs isn't quite as experimental as projects that followed 'Put the "O" Back in Country.'

'Identity Thief' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:55:52 +0000

Funny is, of course, subjective. I find Woody Allen funny but there are plenty of people who find him about as amusing as being slowly asphyxiated in plastic bags from CVS. Still, I'll hazard to guess that there is no one who will find Melissa McCarthy obnoxiously singing along to Kelis' not-at-all-current "Milkshake" funny. Especially when 'Identity Thief' - a new "comedy" with McCarthy and Jason Bateman - goes to quite successful lengths to make you HATE her character. And you just might wind up hating this movie too.

The Lost Trailers, 'American Beauty' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:19:52 +0000

The new single from the Lost Trailers continues down a singer-songwriter path the now-duo began to cut with ‘Underdog’ in 2011. While once a party band, their new sound is more Jason Mraz than Jason Aldean. The change fits.

Pat Green, 'All Just to Get to You' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:30:15 +0000

Pat Green takes a second break from writing his own songs to honor ten artists who’ve influenced him on ‘Songs We Wish We’d Written II.’ The lead single finds the Texas-born hitmaker taking a rock n’ roll approach to ‘All Just to Get to You’ by Joe Ely.

Charlie Sheen-Less 'Two And A Half Men': What the Critics Are Saying

David Drew — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:25:18 +0000

The critics are speaking, you can read some reviews after the jump! Nearly 28 million views tuned in to see the new ‘Two and a Half Men’. Did you watch it and what did you think of show without Charlie Sheen? The CBS comedy returned Monday night for its ninth season without original star Charlie [...]

"Rio" Is A Fun Movie With Local Tie-In.

Ken Hayes — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 22:46:01 +0000

We went to see the movie “Rio” today. It’s an animated movie about two rare blue Macaws and their struggles with smugglers, monkeys, and love. I laughed out loud quite a bit at the movie. Since it’s a kids movie you always know there is a happy ending. I recommend this movie to anybody. [...]
