MusicCritics (472 KP) rated The Saga Continues by Wu-Tang in Music
Oct 26, 2017
The Saga Continues is not the home run that Wu-Tang Clan fans have been waiting for, but to keep the baseball analogy, it’s an RBI double.

MusicCritics (472 KP) rated Going Grey by The Front Bottoms in Music
Oct 26, 2017
Their plucky DIY aesthetic may be all but gone at this point, but the Front Bottoms have transitioned to the majors gracefully. Certain synth melodies might be a tad too sugary for some, but they bolster the top-notch songwriting

MusicCritics (472 KP) rated Losing by Bully in Music
Nov 2, 2017
It’s a salve for anyone who’s been trying to get free, and particularly anyone who’s gotten yelled at for it. Bognanno puts her anger on full display, inviting everyone who’s felt the same to join in and scream along.

MusicCritics (472 KP) rated Ken by Destroyer in Music
Nov 2, 2017
There’s a braveness in ken’s songwriting – in stripping his style down to its barest bones, Bejar almost invites ridicule. Certainly those who have not yet acquired the taste for his songwriting might find it hard to swallow ‘Sky’s Grey'

MusicCritics (472 KP) rated The Animal Spirits by James Holden & The Animal Spirits in Music
Nov 6, 2017
While it's a million miles from the techno of Holden’s earlier career, its rhythms and hooks are infectious. The Animal Spirits is, put frankly, one of the most complex, immersive and impressive albums of the year.

Tracy Davis Stoyer (2 KP) rated Dorothy Must Die in Books
Dec 25, 2017
A great read for young adults!!
While this may drag in some places for adults, this is a great book for young adults. It’s very popular in our high school library. The students love following a modern day twist to the original Wizard of Oz. So popular we have a hard time keeping it on the shelf.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017) in Movies
Apr 14, 2017
Movies for kids have come a long way from the old damsel in distress blueprint. But this lapis little lady of the forest doesn’t get to color outside the lines.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated The Fate of the Furious (2017) in Movies
Apr 15, 2017
The Fate of the Furious doesn't have a thought in its head to match the best of Bond and Bourne. What it is, in every sense of the term, is insanely entertaining.

Dean (6927 KP) rated xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017) in Movies
May 7, 2017
OTT brainless action flick
I was a fan of the original, it had a totally OTT action feel to it. Like a Bond film on steroids. This is better than the 2nd offering, but it's still very predictable and silly at times. One to switch the brain off to.

Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Everything, Everything (2017) in Movies
May 12, 2017
All in all, Everything Everything is a watered down modern day rehash of the Boy in the Plastic Bubble with a female lead. The film tries to be funny and dramatic yet fails to succeed at either.
