– Kris and Chris :)

MUSIC REVIEW . Zero 7 . Simple Things

Now Zero 7 is neither a household name nor a new duck. Hide-and-seeking in UK obscurity, they never truly made it to the States yet. Hmm, our loss. They have been featured on a few soundtracks (Blue Crush, Garden State, TV’s Roswell and CSI and UK commercials), so perhaps they’ll be recognized [...]

MUSIC REVIEW . Eisley . Room Noises

The Corrs, BeeGees, now the DuPrees, better known as Eisley. What do these groups have in common? Sibling power! Imagine sharing your most intimate aspirations and errs with your kin and with your ever-supportive ever-videotaping father chronicling the entire process. Well, it doesn’t seem to bother the DuPree kids, who have [...]

Just a thought…

With the November special election there’s a whole lot of talk around cutting funding for schools and being harsh on the teachers. But, did you know California schools are guaranteed 40% of California’s income each year?
All that money spent, and still a good measure of highschool graduates still don’t know basic things such as [...]

Interview with Director Brett Sullivan on HUSH

This is Brett Sullivan’s very first interview on his upcoming project, Hush. Kris and I got to sit down with the director of Ginger Snaps: Unleashed, and ask a few questions. Brett is an extremely busy man, so we only had time for a few questions, but we did get some quality short-essay [...]

MUSIC REVIEW . Sonny Rollins . Newk’s Time

I guess I was an unconventional jazz enthusiast because I inadvertently imbued it with certain rules, even though I felt jazz should remain carefree. I believed it was sacrilege to own any recording of it. Jazz should be listened to live or at least serendipitously, I protested. I guess it felt like [...]

Great Balls of Fire - Google Dance JAGGER is Underway

Yup. It’s that time of the year again. Google’s in the midst of it’s latest dance, codename “Jagger”. So far the dance has proved quite beneficial for Dreamlogic.net. Though we’ve lost a few incoming links, our pagerank has improved. Consequently a few of our reviews are popping up higher than they have for quite some [...]

MUSIC REVIEW . The Wolfgang Press . Everything is Beautiful

Michael Allen, singer Wolfgang Press: “Right place right time, from Soul Boy to Punk in one seamless movement… The arrogance of youth is a wonderful thing and belief is everything. To say the answer to all of my inner turmoil and sense of isolation was found down a dingy cellar on Oxford Street in [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Domino

Tony Scott has made some truly shitty movies. Revenge, The Last Boy Scout, and Spy Game are all films that the world would be a better place without. But, on the other hand, he has also made a few action classics, as evidenced by True Romance, Enemy of the State, and Top Gun. So when [...]

MUSIC REVIEW . Lamb . Best Kept Secrets

I am not an advocate for greatest hits albums. When I was in grade school, I figured that sort of thing was for fogies who weren’t true fans. But if being a true fan means you have to suffer through the flops then that’s just wasteful time- and money-wise. So when CD [...]

TOP 26 HALLOWEEN NIGHTMARES

Happy Halloween from Chris and Kris!
It’s that time of the year again for spookity scareathons and time to share our top 13 horror flicks. These may not be the most well-known or critically lauded horror and suspense films, but they definitely deserve to be on the top of our lists. A few aren’t [...]

Oh, look at the mess we’re in now!

Okay, malicious tsunamis, hurricanes, record heat waves, now New Hampshire flooding, Pakistan earthquakes, a Guatemalan landslide and Brazilian drought.. do we need any more proof that Mother Nature is pissed off? Why won’t we heed her warnings?
Why won’t people admit that Global Warming is a reality and humans are to blame for [...]

MUSIC REVIEW . Typical Cats . Civil Service

Okay, I’m no expert on hip-hop, nor will I now pretend to be one. I will not bore you with detailed declaration of the artists’ genius or omnipotent heights à la sold-and-bought critics. All I’m going to say is that Typical Cats are my dig. Well, maybe I’ll say a little more: [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Oldboy

Is this really happening? Like an old memory based in both surreal and logical demise, Oldboy reminds us of how unrealistic and unreliable reality can be. Held for fifteen years in a secret “holding cell hotel” by an anonymous kidnapper, main character Daesu Oh must (Shiri’s Min-sik Choi) sift through his old [...]

MOVIE REVIEW . Kunoichi: Lady Ninja

Late last night after many hours of a weekend Java programming class I decided to raid the queue of cult Japanese films. Having played a Playstation demo for Genji: Dawn of the Samurai earlier in the week, Kunoichi: Lady Ninja seemed like the logical choice.
Kunoichi: Lady Ninja (aka: Kunoichi ninpô chô Yagyû gaiden: Edobana jigoku-hen) [...]

MUSIC REVIEW . Ima Robot . Self Titled

I didn’t want to like Ima Robot, but just couldn’t help it. I blame it in parts: 1/2 due to its pristine new wave heavy pop-punk revamp with 1/4 devoted to Jello Biafra soundalike (and ex-rapper) Alex Ebert, 1/4 ‘cos it makes vacuuming fun. Worried it would be a one-hit wonder album, [...]

MUSIC REVIEW . Frou Frou . Details

Okay, I’m a little behind on this boat, but now I’m addicted. A bunch of years back (2002? 2003?) a friend (in the way friends want to force– I mean share– music) said “hey, you’d really like Frou Frou“. I immediately quipped about Frou-Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires by the second love of [...]

MUSIC REVIEW . Fiona Apple . Extraordinary Machine

Be kind to me or treat me mean/ I’ll make the most of it/ I’m an extraordinary machine

In the created-appropriate din of the livingroom with only one lamp on is where I listened to the latest Fiona Apple album, but her voice sounds good in any instance, every possible port. Some music can only [...]
