La Dolce Vita (1960)

Written by Ismael Isak **** For the past decade I’ve become much more serious about watching movies. I went through the entire IMDB top 250 list of movies and went browsing through countless forums searching for great films. I began to lose hope about finding another film that would make my jaw drop. Then I came…

Ranking Every Match of the Cruiserweight Classic

In case you didn’t see it, The Cruiserweight Classic was awesome. I have gone on record calling it the greatest thing WWE has ever put together. When the tournament began 11 weeks ago, I had no idea that it would be as great as it was, or that I would have my own website by…

Monday Night RAW: September 19, 2016 Review

RAW has been far-from-excellent in the last couple of weeks, but hopefully the addition of Cruiserweights to the show after the close of their fantastic tournament will bring some more eyes, and quality, to the show. Other than that, WWE will need to work hard to put over their PPV this Sunday, though they’ve already…

Match of the Week: September 11-17

It was a very busy week for WWE as Smackdown put forth its first exclusive PPV since the brand split, and much more importantly, the much acclaimed Cruiserweight Classic reached its final climax and led to the crowning of the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion. I was rather disappointed with the outcome of the tournament originally,…

Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs: 450-441

450. “I Shot the Sheriff” – Bob Marley (1973) Since I became an instant Bob Marley fan the first time I listened to Legend (like millions of others, probably) “I Shot the Sheriff” was one of my least favorite tunes. It doesn’t retain the easy-listening quality that makes Bob Marley the artist that he was…

Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs 460-451

460. “My Sweet Lord” – George Harrison (1970) Even though The Beatles were mainly focused on McCartney and Lennon, George Harrison penned some of their greatest work, most notably “Something,” the best track on the acclaimed Abbey Road. But this song, which I had never heard before now, may top them all. This is simply…

Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs: 470-461

The last batch of songs was the best yet featuring classics that I knew and others I didn’t with seven of the 10 worthy of consideration for my Top 500. It’ll be tough to top. 470. “Standing in the Shadows of Love” – Four Tops (1966) This isn’t a bad song by any means, but…

Burnes’ Turns: September 8-15

We replace the last couple of week’s penchant for movie-related artistry to straight ahead Pop music done right, an ’80s track I don’t hate, a classic from KISS’ best member, and a racial sermon that’s desperately needed in today’s world. “The Blacker the Berry” – Kendrick Lamar A week ago I was talking with my…

Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs: 480-471

After a good first batch, the last 10 tracks weren’t particularly impressive. But as we continue our journey down the list, things should only get better as we move along. 480. “Sabotage” – Beastie Boys (1994) I remember being absolutely blown away the first time I heard this chaotic Punk track. It surprised me; this…
