Why do I like this song so much? I have no idea. A stranger title I have rarely seen. Sometimes it just works out that way but I find that the melody and even the strange words have worked their rare magic on me and I find myself wanting to play this tune over and over again. In fact the Twilight dudes liked this song so much there is a wedding version in Breaking Dawn Part 1 which is the version I have for your listening pleasure. Wow. It sure brings you back to the beginning. Seems like... Read Full Story

Here are a few flicks I thought to be worthy of viewing if you need a break from the usual fare. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan Source Based on the bestselling 2005 novel by Lisa See...

I am a huge fan of mythology, especially Greek mythology, so I am absolutely stoked about the Immortals movie which is hitting theaters November 11th, 2011 — in fact 11-11-11 is a very auspicious number so everything looks like it’s coming up roses for this fantasy film! The uber busy man of steel himself Henry Cavill has the starring role of Theseus and from what I’ve seen so far this flick should be epic and definitely a lot of fun. The Fall of Man The creators of the film couldn’t get... Read Full Story

Now that I’ve embarked upon the exciting stage of changing writing genres and entered the realms of Horror , Chick Lit and Young Adult the need arose to search for cover art.
