Taylor Swift – “Speak Now” (2010) Review
November 10, 2010
by Matt Klein Don’t expect the same material Taylor Swift has written before; she’s left previous limits behind with previous material. Even with a short listen of the album, it’s no doubt that Swift has come a long way. She’s expanded from country-pop, adding more pop in certain... Read more »

Kick-A** Review
April 19, 2010
Kick-A** is a super hero movie based off of the comic books written by Mark Millar, that not only lives up to its name but surpasses everything I expected about the movie.
