Average King
Having read all of King (except the Dark Tower series) this is one of his more average yarns. Easy to get into as Ling is brilliant at getting you to warm to his characters but the story doesn't make you wish for it to be longer like his best works do.

Rolling Stone's 123rd greatest album of all time
Brilliant early hip hop album. The music, drum beats and sampling is a little more basic compared to the likes of Erik B and Rakim, NWA and Public Enemy. Features It's Tricky and Walk This Way as well as lesser known hits like Peter Piper and You Be Illin.
  
Rolling Stone's 98th greatest album of all time
I was supposed to listen to each album from RS's top 500 once through and review. I had to listen to this one again, it was just brilliant. Lipstick Vogue, Radio Radio, Pump It Up, ... Chelsea, and a whole host of songs just as good. Absolutely fantastic album.

Rolling Stone's 76th greatest album of all time
Brilliant funk-pop album with some of the biggest pop anthems of all time (the title track and When Doves Cry) as well as the likes of I Would Die 4 U, which may have been the inspiration for the text messaging lexicon and many a ropey website/shop.

"Love No Country for Old Men. I feel like there’s no formula to it. I love the Coen brothers. They’re so brilliant and they always surprise you in one way or another. A Serious Man was awesome. I like stuff like that, that kind of throws you for a loop. It takes you on a journey that is unexpected."

Movie Favorite

"Another brilliant adaptation, this time of a Davis Grubb novel (a bestseller). It’s a gothic fairytale of childhood, full of shadows and silhouettes and countless images that linger in your head forever after. I first saw this as a kid, and the stupendously terrifying Robert Mitchum (as a murderous “man of god”) still hasn’t left my haunted unconscious."

BlacKkKlansman (2018)
2018 | Biography, Comedy, Crime

"I can remember the exact theaters I saw Spike Lee movies in since I was in college, which I can’t say for any other director’s films. “BlacKkKlansman” is no exception. The theater was SILENT for the last five minutes, when the film jumps from fiction to nonfiction. It’s a brilliant choice only Spike would have done."
