In My Own Words:
I'm a die-hard movie and music buff. Movies and music are the reason I was put on this earth. It's what I live for. As for movies, I love everything. I love every genre.

As for movies, I love everything. I love every genre. Although I'm typically more interested in older movies than newer ones. I just love discovering old movies that were made before I was born. I'm also obsessed with old actors and directors. But I don't overlook contemporary film either. There's a lot of great stuff being produced today. There are a handful of modern day filmmakers that I think are as good as any that we've ever seen.
When it comes to music, I think I have pretty eclectic tastes but I mainly love rock and metal. I love progressive stuff. I just love it. If it's pretentious, epic and bloated, chances are I love it. I love music with amazing musicianship especially guitarists. I love music that's simultaneously hard-rocking and melodic. I also like simpler stuff. I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan, and I've really grown to love Leonard Cohen over the past few years. So it doesn't really matter what genre the music is, so long as it moves me and stirs my soul.

Live Era is a fantastic collection of live Guns N' Roses tracks. "Recorded across the universe between 1987 and 1993" as the booklet says, it presents a pretty awesome portrait of the band as a live act. For those of us who were too young to catch G N'R in their prime, this set is most welcome. The song list is great, just about any Guns song you most want to hear live is included. Every track from Appetite For Destruction except for two ("Think About You" and "Anything Goes") are performed on this CD, as well as some of the best tracks from Use Your Illusion. "Patience", "Used To Love Her" and "Move To The City" from G N' R Lies… Read more

Don't be deceived by the MTV logo on the box. Election is no ordinary high school movie. It is so far removed from the typical "teen movie" that it's sure be viewed with hostility from fans of those dreadfully stereotypical movies. What Election is, however, is a sharp, hilarious, on-target satire of high school life from the point of view of both the students and the teachers. Probably more so from the teachers' point of view, as the film focuses on Jim McAllister, played to perfection by Matthew Broderick as a man so stuck in the routine his daily life that director Alexander Payne visually compares him to a caged rat. He is a popular teacher who really desires to help his… Read more

So says young Bob Dylan on October 31, 1964 after wowing his audience with a new tune called "Gates of Eden". Just one of the many highlights of this new set, Bootleg Series volume 6: Concert at Philharmonic Hall. Previously this excellent series gave us the legendary 1966 "Judas" concert, then a sampler of Dylan's 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue, both excellent releases which I truly cherish. Volume 6, Live 1964 might be my favorite so far, however. It gives us a rare glimpse at a young 23-year-old Bob Dylan in the awkward transition between folky protest singer and poetic wordsmith. That juxtaposition is only one of the fascinating things about this concert. At this… Read more
