When someone says “Texas”, the images that are usually invoked are dusty planes, cattle drives, and weathered cowboys sitting around a campfire. Riders in the Sky, although based out of Nashville, are keeping that Texas tradition of “The Cowboy Way” alive through their live performances- over 6200 to date- and multiple Grammy winning albums. Forming [...]

REVIEW: The Agony of Trusting Brit Marling’s Seductive ‘Sound of My Voice’
Trusting in the unknown has got to be one of man’s greatest challenges. If it weren’t, then enlightenment would be easy and I wouldn’t have had to go to church every Sunday until I was old enough to second guess. I’m personally happy not knowing what is out there, choosing to live a life focused [...]
Because Two Is Never Enough….Here Is A 3rd Review Of ‘THE AVENGERS’
If there was ever a superhero movie to end all superhero movies, it would be called “The Avengers” and it’d be so epically awesome you’d forget about any other superhero or mutant movie you’ve ever seen. Too glowing a review? I’m hard pressed to find anything I didn’t like about this movie. The previous films [...]
Want Another RCC Review Of ‘The Avengers’? You Got It
“The Avengers” should not have even happened. “Iron Man”, “Thor”, “Iron Man 2″, and “Captain America: The First Avenger” had to come off without a hitch, be critically successful and make enough money for a team-up of those characters to even be a pipe dream. The amount of time, energy and care that went into [...]

REVIEW: ‘Bully’
Unfortunately, bullying is beyond hair-pulling on the playground. For the parents and kids in Lee Hirsch’s Bully, it’s a tragedy with real life and death implications. It’s on the bus, in the locker room, and most disturbingly – in the victims’ bedrooms via their cell phones and computers. This is a film that everyone should [...]
