Vitamins, Good For You Or An Expensive Hoax?

CJ — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 01:19:09 +0000

After a conversation with my doctor last week about vitamins, I decided to write an article to help answer the question, Are Vitamins Good For You? While watching Dr. Oz one day, there was a doctor on talking about vitamins and he stated the everyone should take Vitamins A, B, C and D everyday. Not [...]

'Trouble with the Curve' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:04:39 +0000

My wife doesn't follow movie news and is impervious to advertising. "What is this, a baseball movie?" she asked as we settled in for 'Trouble with the Curve.' "Kinda," I said. "Clint's a gruff baseball scout, out on the road with his estranged daughter." "Uh-oh," she chimed as the lights dimmed. "Life lessons!"

Life lessons indeed, and they come at you with the subtlety of an aluminum bat cranking a deep line drive. Clint, craggier than ever, begins each day arguing with his prostate, eating junk food and rooting through a stack of papers reporting high school and college score results. "He's the last scout in the majors who doesn't use a computer!" they muse at the Braves' home office. Nasty, conniving Matthew Lillard means it in a bad way, while John Goodman looks fondly upon Clint's old fashioned ways.

Someone That I Used To Know (Gotye Cover)

JayCee — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 01:21:29 +0000

One of the newest songs that we play is Gotye’s ‘Someone That I Used To Know‘, which, as it turns out, is one of those songs that either you love or you hate (from the people that I have spoken to about the song). At best (in my opinion), the original video (with its constant [...]

Melanie Amaro, 'Don't Fail Me Now' – Song Review

Scott Shetler — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 09:15:22 +0000

Melanie Amaro wisely chose to take her time putting together a debut album instead of rushing out new music immediately after winning Season 1 of ‘X Factor‘ — and its $5 million Epic Records contract — last December. Unfortunately, her first offering, ‘Don’t Fail Me Now,’ offers a rather bland dance-pop arrangement that doesn’t flaunt her winning voice effectively.

Magic Mike Not So Magical

Debbie Ray — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 09:58:40 +0000

I saw ‘Magic Mike’ yesterday and I don’t really know what to say about it, except that the whole thing just seemed a little much, y’know? I thought it was going to be a story about a young guy who falls into a dubious profession but ultimately gets back on the right track, with a [...]

'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' – Movie Review

99.9 KTDY — Wed, 30 May 2012 14:59:08 +0000

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is the story of a disparate group of English senior citizens who, for a variety of reasons, go to India and find themselves attempting to create new lives for themselves in a ramshackle and rundown (at best) hotel owned and managed by a young pie-in-the-sky dreamer

Amy Sciarretto — Fri, 11 May 2012 01:59:32 +0000

The Biebs goes acoustic! In ‘Turn to You,’ his tribute song to his mother Pattie Mallette, the proceeds of which will be donated to a mom-centric charity, Justin Bieber is at his most butter smooth and his best. His vocals are breathy and mature, as are the lyrics, with a simple acoustic guitar behind him. [...]
