St. Louis’ own Nelly achieved a career first on Friday night, playing with the St. Louis Symphony in front of a sold-out crowd at Powell Hall. The show, which sold out in five hours months ago, featured conductor David Robertson and appearances from Nelly’s fellow St. Lunatics Ali and City Spud. From the start, it […]
Rock Icon and Kiss-founder Gene Simmons will be appearing at Wizard World Comic Con St. Louis on Saturday April 8 and Sunday, April 9. Simmons will also play a concert on Friday, April 7 to celebrate his appearance at the convention. Simmons co-founded KISS 42 years ago. KISS is America’s #1 Gold Record Award Winning […]
We all know that Mel Gibson has his demons, as his battle with alcoholism took center stage several years ago. In “Hacksaw Ridge,” Gibson’s first film in ten years, the director takes the violence of war to the extreme. It’s almost as if the director has an addiction with violence in the film. In war […]
Local H will be appearing at the Ready Room on Thursday, August 18, for the “As Good As Dead” 20th Anniversary show. The band has been around for just over 25 years now, having released 11 albums; one greatest hits record and a live album in 2005. While many bands from the 90s have come […]
I must admit that my expectations were low for the new buddy-cop movie Central Intelligence. Despite starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, the trailer just seemed kind of dull. As probably one of the biggest fans of Dwayne Johnson on the planet, and a pretty huge Kevin Hart fan, I’m happy to report that Central […]
Just when it looked like sequels were going to scare everyone away from the movie theater, along comes The Conjuring 2 – and it literally scared some out of the theater. James Wan’s latest effort is not just a great scariest, it’s a great piece of acting, as Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga have great […]
Over the past few years, the wrestling world has lost many of the superstars who made the product great. These amazing individuals have been dying far too young and often. Just last week, Ballz Mahoney, known for his time in ECW, passed away in his home. Mahoney was just 44 years old. Then last night, […]
Not since Saving Private Ryan have I seen a fact-based war movie more difficult to watch. Kilo Two Bravo is one of those rare films, where the audience feels every uncomfortable move that the characters make. Directed by Paul Katis, KTB tells the horrifying story of a squad of British paratroopers who unknowingly stumble into […]
This Sunday is the grand daddy of them all, Wrestlemania. It’s the WWE’s biggest show of the year, which will be taking place in Dallas at AT&T Stadium. When it was first announced that Mania would be in Dallas, my friends and I were planning on going. We attended two years ago in New Orleans […]
After Sunday, I had my doubts that this years’ Wrestlemania would be as grand as past Mania’s had been. WWE’s Fastlane was not only predictable, but besides a pair of matches from Kevin Owens/Dolph Ziggler and Chris Jericho/A.J. Styles, the payperview was a disappointment. As Monday Night Raw opened, I was hoping to find out […]
