In Music: Amos Lee - Mission Bell
Amos Lee is back with what may be his absolute best album yet! The past two albums, Amos has veered from the soulful-country style of his debut self-titled release. His newest, "Mission Bell", returns to that feel. With cameos from Willie Nelson and Lucinda Williams, it's now about the music more than politics. Enjoy my favorite, "Violin" below.

I'm Baaaaccckkkk!
Yes, it's true! I have been on hiatus for quite some time...but I'm back! Look forward to lots of updates coming soon!
In Music: Adele - 21
Where do I begin? The past few months, the world has been taken over by Adele. Video after video, performance after performance, she's been relentless, and I couldn't be happier! The new album dropped January in the UK and February in the US. Topping the charts, Adele is back, and this time, she means business! There's gospel, there's country, there's soul! She's quickly proving to be the best artist of our generation. Click through to see more amazing videos!

In Film: Get Him to the Greek
Judd Apatow strikes again, just not as hot. "Get Him to the Greek" is a half spin-off from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" (which was absolutely a great movie, by the way). Russell Brand is hillarious, Jonah Hill is bumbling, and P. Diddy is surprisingly great! The whole story is that Jonah Hill, an aspiring music mogul, is trying to get a washed up, drug addicted rock star to the Greek Theater in L.A. for a comeback concert.
The Good: The comedy, of course! Judd Apatow has a great comedic eye. P. Diddy's character is amazing, always trying to "Mind-Fuck" people.
The Bad: I lost attention a few times, due to lulls in the story/action.
The Ugly: WTF happened to Jonah Hill?!? I thought he was fat before, but he was kinda funny at least...in this movie, he didn't play a funny part, and he was even fatter!!! Ugh!!
Synopsis: Rent it, watch it with a bunch of friends or if you just need a good laugh. If you're a huge fan of the Judd Apatow movies, then go ahead and buy, but don't buy if you just want to own a funny movie.

In Film: Daltry Calhoun
I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time reviewing this movie, mainly because it was awful and I never finished it. Other than a pretty impressive cast (Johnny Knoxville, Juliette Lewis and Elizabeth Banks), this movie has literally nothing to offer. It's about a redneck who was kicked out of his home and exiled from his wife and daughter because he was such an idiot, who turns his life around and becomes a sod manufacturer for golf courses. Yes, that's right...sod manufacturer. Anyways, don't rent it, don't buy it, don't even watch it if it's free.

In Music: Robyn - Indestructible
Robyn is back with another phenomenal song! If you've been following her Body Talk trilogy, you may have noticed that on the first two parts there is a bonus acoustic track which becomes the first single of the next album. Indestructible was the acoustic track from part two and is the first single of part three. The video is a sexy, almost racy, fast-paced throw-down! Robyn sports a tube outfit with different colored liquids going through it. A bit strange, but what do you expect from Robyn? Enjoy, and stay tuned for the full album review later this month!

In Film: Alice in Wonderland
I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this movie, but I have to say, I really really liked it. Once again, I had this movie from Netflix for about a month before actually getting around to watch it. Technically, I guess it should be called, "Alice Goes BACK to Wonderland," but it's definitely an amazing movie. It should go without saying that it's better in HD, but I think that this is probably one of the best movies for HD that I've seen so far. Johnny Depp is brilliant, as is Helena Bonham Carter and the movie is definitely Tim Burton's doing. There are lots of references to the classic cartoon film, and even to the original book, which I thought was extremely interesting.
The Good: One of the best visually stimulating movies I have ever seen. The acting is brilliant of course and the it's a Tim Burton movie, what more could you ask for?
The Bad: Surprisingly, my least favorite thing about the movie was Anne Hathaway as the white queen. She just seemed extremely out of place, which is strange because I usually adore her.
The Ugly: While it's nice to create an adaptation of a classic movie, I honestly think it would have been amazing to follow the original storyline and just do it as a live action movie with Tim Burton's style.
Synopsis: I will definitely own this movie and you should too! If you're an obsessive fan of the classic Disney cartoons, then you may want to skip it because it is very different.
