I Would Do Anything For Love: A Review of Trent Haaga’s “68 Kill”
We’ve all been there before; “happily” in a relationship with someone that we couldn’t imagine being with in our wildest dreams. The other person seems to be completely out of your league and you’re willing to do anything in the world to please them. You justifiably believe that you’re “in love”, and you get put […]
The Importance of Following Your Dreams: Corey Feldman’s Angelic To The U.S. Tour
“They’re trying to beat you down, they want you on the ground.” Truer words have never been spoken, especially when discussing 80’s/90’s star Corey Feldman. I only refer to him that way as that’s the way most of you know of him. In my mind, he’s “Current Genius, Corey Feldman”. Let me start this off […]
Monsters Exist: A Review of ‘Kong: Skull Island’ On Blu-ray!
Giant monster movies, or Kaiju films, are my bag! You put an enormous creature on the big screen and I’m probably going to eat it up. Hell, I’m still waiting for a proper sequel to Cloverfield. So you know that as soon as I heard there was a King Kong reboot heading our way it […]
Concert Review: Punk Rock Bowling Invades Asbury Park, Takes No Prisoners!
“This music ain’t your fuckin’ industry!”, screams Fat Mike of NOFX as they close out the Punk Rock Bowling and Music Festival at Asbury Park’s Stone Pony.

Review: The Beach Boys Journey Into Their Vault For ‘1967 – Sunshine Tomorrow’
Coming off the biggest hit of their career and submerged in the mythical recording of “SMiLE,” The Beach Boys were in turmoil. They struggled to understand chief songwriter and producer Brian Wilson’s increasingly erratic behavior. The Beach Boys sank even lower on the popularity chart by pulling out of the Monterrey Pep Festival in 1967, […]
Unsung Heroes of Hollywood: The Films of John Wayne
Each month I’m going to take a look at an actor, actress, or filmmaker that I grew up loving and has informed my own career (if calling what I do in the industry qualifies as such) in writing or performing. Films are supposed to be fun, entertaining ventures that allow an escape from the day-to-day […]

Minds of Monsters: A Look Inside Twiztid’s Psychomania Tour
In October of 2003, Paradox Development released a terrible “wrestling” game titled ‘Backyard Wrestling.’ At the time this game was fantastic, but I was 11 and didn’t know any better. Little did I know that this game would honestly change my life forever. The entire promotion for the game was built around the inclusion of the […]
