Album Review: Jessica Simpson, “Do You Know” (2008)

I don’t care what anyone says about her- I always have and always will like Jessica Simpson.  I think she’s a sweet girl, and I always find myself rooting for her when the media attacks her.  Sure, she’s played the “dumb blonde” role out a…

Movie Review: 9 (2009)

Spoiler Warning: This review reveals major details about the movie’s plot When I first saw the previews for 9, I was pretty stoked.  “Awesome!” I thought to myself, ” A Tim Burton film that’s a commentary on a post-apocalyptic future!”  It looked thrilling, exciting- where…

Album Review: The Lonely Island, “Incredibad” (2009)

Saturday Night Live has been really iffy in the past few years.  I’ve grown up watching the show, and have loved it since I was old enough to really have a sense of humor.  I always preferred it over shows such as Mad TV, because…

Album Review: Ugly Casanova, “Sharpen Your Teeth” (2002)

I don’t know what started it exactly, but recently I’ve been having a pre-teen nostalgia kick. This, embarrassingly enough, means I’ve been listening non-stop to my favorite artists of the time- *NSYNC. I’m pretty sure my friends on Last.FM are going to delete me once…

Album Review: Howie Day, “Australia” (2000)

I first heard of Howie Day in the summer of ’05, when his song, Collide was pretty much everywhere I went. I fell for Day’s laid back, acoustic/singer-songwriter sound easily, and picked up his sophomore album, Stop All The World Now. I became a certified…

Album Review: Emmy Rossum, “Slow Me Down” (2007)

Emmy Rossum. You’ve probably heard her name before, more than likely associated with the 2004 film adaptation of the Phantom of the Opera. The film shot Rossum to stardom, and she was recognized for her stellar acting performance, as well as her extraordinary vocal talent.
