  Far away from the Land of the Free, America, the culturally rich country of France resides between Spain and Germany. It is a hotspot of great dining, historical artifacts and vibrant fashion. The “crusty” punk group Elizabeth aims to celebrate their homeland by assaulting the world with extremely heavy and unwieldy music.

The movie Black Adam was a masterpiece-- a great storyline, exciting twists, and the best special effects I have ever seen.  Actors Of course, we all know that the great Dwayne The Rock Johnson is the main character of the movie, being Black Adam himself.

I have to say I had low hopes for Insomniac Games' newest title, Sunset Overdrive. Insomniac Games has a track record of making either really good or really bad games, among the better titles include Ratchet & Clank & The Resistance series. On the poor side of their past games are titles such as Fuse, which was an all around failure when it came to...
AC/DC Rock Or Bust Album Review Albert/Columbia Records Released December 2, 2014 Genre: Hard Rock AC/DC is one of the most instantly recognizable bands out there today. The amount of music and influence they've produced to the world has been almost omnipresent. Known for their instantly catchy songs, lightning fast riffs, and their numerous  "amp to 11" hits," it'd be almost impossible to be...
