Chaos Theory - the latest poorly received Ryan Reynolds vehicle, is the tale of a man with a meticulously planned life (Reynolds) who encounters a series of mishaps when his wife sets his clock back ten minutes. It’s the standard “loosen up a bit” message, and critics weren’t particularly fond of it. Four months after the […]

In April Thomas Sowell, a respected conservative scholar, wrote an insidious column undercutting Barack Obama and attacking preemptively the presumptive stupidity and gullibility of an American electorate that would elect him President simply to make a little history.

Retired technical writer Bob Sanchez has released his first novel and it’s a slam-bang hoot with the offbeat energy of Raising Arizona raging through its pages.

The aptly named Seventh Sojourn hit the streets in 1972. While it is without doubt one of The Moody Blues best albums, it was created during a period of turmoil within the group itself. Five years of basically living together had made relationships a little strained. Sure, they had achieved their goal os success, in […]

Released in 1971 Every Good Boy Deserves Favour saw The Moody Blues return to their studio format, the rich plush, luscious production is back. This album was another colossal hit for the band, making it to #1 in the UK, and #2 in the US.
