Review: Bullet for My Valentine
Bullet for My Valentine Live at the Brixton Academy Trustkill Street: 12.19.06 With only an EP and a full length CD out I was surprised to see a DVD release from Bullet for My Valentine.

Review: Attack Force
Attack Force Michael Keusch Sony Home Entertainment Street: 12.06.06 I’m not sure where to begin describing a movie this crappy. I suppose we should begin with the title; Attack Force.

Review: All the King’s Men
All the King’s Men Steve Zaillian Columbia Pictures Street: 12.06.2006 Based on Robert Warren’s book which is based upon the life of Louisiana politician Huey Long All the King’s Men is a well executed but sometimes overdone vehicle for Sean Penn to flex his southern diction as Willie Stark.

Review: Killzone: Liberation
Killzone: Liberation Guerrilla/SCEA Reviewed On: PSP Street: 11-06 It’s hard to say what exactly it is that makes Killzone so much fun to play.

Review: Josef Albers: To Open Eyes: The Bauhaus, Black Mountain...
Josef Albers: To Open Eyes: The Bauhaus, Black Mountain and Yale Frederick A. Horowitz and Brenda Danilowitz Phaidon Press Street: 11.02 Wow … to say the least. Phaidon Press has done it again in producing a book that not only is stunningly graphic and visual but has the academic content to back up such a

Turner Billboard Books Street: 10.06.06 Self-appointed Knight of Glam, Bryan Ferry, once said, “Something not only has to sound good, but also has to feel good and look good.” This is indeed true of most musical fads, but particularly anyone involved in the glam, punk and new-wave
