I’ll be honest, when I first heard about the original Kick-Ass, I had no idea it was a part of a comic book series; I just thought it looked like a hilarious take on the superhero craze. Thankfully, the movie turned out to be a fun movie, and enough people agreed that a sequel was greenlit. […]
Hoping to shore up the middle infield for the stretch run, the Cardinals have announced that they will be promoting second baseman Kolten Wong from Memphis and optioning outfield Adron Chambers back to Memphis. The Cardinals’ first-round pick in 2011, Wong was selected primarily on the strength of his bat, slashing .378/.492/.560 his final year. […]
Let’s face it, we all love superheroes. Whether it’s because of their incredible feats or their perpetual devotion to saving us mere mortals, we can’t help but admire those men and women in Spandex. In Episode 4 of the ReviewSTL Podcast, we discuss some of the more prominent superhero movies to grace the screen in […]
Unless you’re South African or were a huge fan of Nike’s Crab commercial, there was probably a pretty good chance that before 2009, you’d never heard of Neill Blomkamp. Hell, I still had to Google his name to make sure I spelled it right. After the release of District 9 though, one of the biggest sleeper hits […]
There are some songs/albums that just beg to be played on a summer car ride with the windows rolled down. I could list a dozen of each that I’ve played from my iPod/phone countless times.

The least successful teams in baseball will still win about 40% of the time, while even the […]
Perhaps it’s something they put in the water, but three of my favorite bands in recent memory have all hailed from the land down under. Back when I briefly played bass for a metal band(!), I was introduced to a metalcore band called Parkway Drive, an extremely talented brutal assault on your eardrums. After them […]
He’s not exactly known for his defense. In fact, he ranks well below average according to the metrics. Still, that hasn’t stopped him from making some pretty exceptional plays when it’s counted. Known primarily as the best hitter in baseball with runners in scoring position the last two seasons, it’s easy to remember that Allen […]
Sometimes things are better the second time around. At least, that’s what some studios and producers would like you to think, if the recent influx of film remakes and reboots are any indication. It’s practically impossible to go to a movie theater and not see a poster/trailer for a film that’s already been previously made. […]
They’re not always pretty, but damn if they don’t get the job done. One a night that went back and forth more than a girl trying to decide her outfit for the night, the Cardinals managed to crank out 21 hits en route to a 10-6 win over the Cubs. With the win, the Cardinals […]
