“9 To 5 The Musical” Is A Surprisingly Pleasant Workday Experience
I walked into the beautiful Fox Theatre knowing only one thing about 9 To 5 The Musical, Dolly Parton was involved in some way. This did not leave me hopeful. I am not a country fan myself, and Ms. Parton’s big personality is just a little too much for me to handle. I was hoping […]
Weekly Gleek Report – “Silly Love Songs” Valentines Episode
Tonight Glee returned to its regular Tuesday schedule with their Valentine’s Day episode.

Sundance Festival 2011 – “I Saw the Devil” Review by the Raven
Any true horror movie buff can tell you that some of the best scary films are of Asian origination. Look at the original “Ringu”. So I was hopeful to see a Korean horror film entered at Sundance…and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Director Kim Ji-woon has his finger on your pulse and […]
Sundance Festival 2011 – “Another Earth” Review by the Raven
