The other night at Saxx, I overheard a guy shouting at his friend, “This is the first time I’ve been in here. This place is really unbelievable. Normally I would only tell my closest friends that it is here.” Imagine owning a place so good, that your patrons want to keep it secret. Saxx you […]

“Rescue Me”Wednesday 10pm, FX Last season Dennis Leary’s firefighter drama got pretty dark, what with controversial abusive sex scenes, the lead character’s girlfriend essentially date-raping him and even more death in the life of Tommy Gavin (Leary). Here’s hoping the producers turn it down just a touch, because the show is actually quite good when […]
28 Weeks Later (R, 99 minutes) 2002’s apocalyptic zombie flick 28 Days Later was a shot in the arm to a stagnant horror film industry.

“Cash Cab”Weekdays 10 & 10:30pm, Discovery Channel Oh, I love this stupid show! Ben Bailey is a comedian and, for the purposes of this show, a taxi driver. He picks up “unsuspecting” (on this part, I’m dubious) passengers, and as soon as the car doors close the interior roof turns into a laser light show […]

Do you know Tom House’s music? Local singer/songwriter Keith Morris thinks that you ought to, and he is offering to do something about it. “I don’t want to get all hyperbolic on you, but I feel kind of like we’re recognizing Van Gogh while he’s still alive, you know?” Poet-turned-songwriter House released his first CD […]
The time has come for the Festival of the Photograph to shake this town like a Polaroid picture!
