 For about 25 years or so, pop music has had a stranglehold on the mainstream. With Korean bands entering the scene, it seems to continue with much strength. Musical trends, so I've been told, go in cycles. This cycle, however, seems to have been unusually long. But I'm too old now to get upset over such things. I've grown to not care so much about what other musical genres take over the mainstream. It was a fools game to even care at all. People are going to like what they like. They aren't wrong about what they like either. Music is subjective. And who am I to deprive anyone of something that gives them joy? Having said that, every now and then during this time of pop dominance a rock or metal album comes out and gets the mainstream spotlight again. And this time it comes from The Might Metallica.  On November 28th of 2022, I woke up to an unexpected music video drop. For a brand new Metallica song called "Lux Aeterna." With no warning or announcement. And s...

 Born on October 3rd 1973, Neve Campbell, the television star of "Party Of Five" had made a handful of films before starring in the cult classic "The Craft." That alone would be a great film to have on your filmography to give yourself some horror clout. But in 1996 she starred in what would be an instant classic in the horror genre, Wes Craven's "Scream." It was the perfect balance of heart racing screams and self aware humor. Much like Craven's previous film "New Nightmare," it set the stage for a new era of horror films, which gave The '90's its specific flavor.  The beginning of the new millennium would end the franchise as a trilogy with "Scream 3," and she would move on with her career until the powers that be decided to reactivate the franchise with 2011's "Scream 4." This would be the final "Scream" film with Craven as director and though it seemed like a final act for the classic cast, th...

 1999 is a year I'm quite fond of. It was May and I was over the moon excited about the return of a franchise I had not seen in theaters since 1983. That film was "Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi."  We fans wanted more Star Wars. And we did receive it by way of Expanded Universe stories in comic books and novels. But that experience of seeing Star Wars in the theaters was an aching hole in my heart, I'll be honest. And I grew up. Now, all of a sudden, roaming around Toys R Us, I was seeing BRAND NEW Star Wars action figures. Something I had only dreamed of (yes, I LITERALLY dreamed of new Star Wars action figures when I was a kid). And now it was a reality. Soon, I would be seeing "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace."  That prequel series would end with 2005's "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith." And thankfully the franchise has moved along with sequels and a new flood of comics, books, and games. Then...Disney + came alo...

 On March 4th, 1922 in the Marmosaal of the Berlin Zoological Garden in Germany previewed the expressionist horror film based on the now legendary 1897 Bram Stoker novel, "Dracula." This film was called "Nosferatu: A Symphony Of Horror."  The premier took place on the 15th of March at Berlin's Primus-Palast. Thus entered into the world a masterpiece of atmospheric horror, still to this day. 2022 and the film still strikes a chill to the bones with images of shadows and gothic structures. An amazing feat of cinematic eeriness and the films age only adds to its creepy feel. The fact that we still have this film is a gift and every horror fan should at least view it once. It is available for all under the public domain and is required for all fans of cinema. Thanks to the masterful direction of F.W. Murnau and the spine-chilling performance of Max Schreck as Count Orlok, the film will live on and on. Truly the long life of a vampire! BY JESS SOLIS

 She was an actress, screenwriter, novelist, advocate. To us Star Wars fans, she is forever the role she unfortunately couldn't shake. Princess Leia. Like any actor or actress that is typecast or shadowed by a signature role, it seemed like she was making peace with the legacy. Unfortunately she passed much too soon.  I skipped the first two Star Wars films in my youth (in my defense I was only 1 when the first one came out and 4 when the second one came out.). I was quickly brought into the fold thanks to my cousins brilliant retelling through roleplaying as kids and the great Kenner toys. Once "Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi" came out I was an excited 7 year older ready to go. This was my first introduction to Carrie Fisher. Disguised as a bounty hunter rescuing her galactic love, Han Solo. Kidnapped and turned 'Slave Leia,' which was impressive for a whole other reason. Then ultimately hero of The Republic with her Jedi brother Luke Skywalker. It was ...
