The 'List: Paul McCartney
Hello, one and all. My buddy Calvin Cherry has written a tribute to one of his favorite artists. He was one of the founders of one of the greatest rock bands out of the UK. Then, in 1970, the Fab Four went their separate ways and one of the four would forge an enduring career solo, with a group, with fellow artists, and even his late wife, Linda. My friend has the floor—introducing the handsome ex-Beatle known as Sir...

The 'List: Best of R&B Vol. 1 (?)
Hello, one and all. This new 'list is a labor of love for the both of us; me and my buddy Calvin (Wilford Brimley loves to eat Oates) Cherry have an affinity for R&B music and this may be the first in a series of 'lists that will highlight the best of the genre. First, a small lesson about the first tentative volume of this 'list.

The 'List: 'Flashdance' 35 Years Later
Hello, one and all. The 1980s were a time of relatively simple pleasures. We could still buy 45 PRM singles and 33-1/3 vinyl LPs. We now had MTV as our other music source. We didn't have the internet, YouTube, iPads, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest - hell, even the thought of sending mail electronically hadn't been realized. Nope. We still had cassettes, Walkmans, and video arcades with everything from Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders etc. etc. It was a time of sweet, simple pleasures.

Movie Review: 'Winchester' (2018). Top Story - February 2018.
Hello, one and all. I often wary of movies that are "based on true stories," or "inspired by true events," if only for the fact that it's just code for "We're just giving you the more bullshit version of a story that is purported to be a true story." That being said, Winchester or the much longer, box-office worthy title: Winchester: The House that Ghosts Built manages to tell an intriguing story that seems to have some root in fact. Fact: the name is indeed synonymous with the iconic rifle and firearm company. Fact: it seems to know the players of that story inside and out. Fact: it was filmed in the actual home where said hauntings and paranormal events had occurred.

The 'List: Valentine's Day
Hello, one and all. My close BFF Calvin (I'm the Hall to his Oates) Cherry has been battling the elements, so this 'list is an all-me 'list and yes, no surprise - it coincides with the big holiday that makes our hearts swoon in the middle of February. Of course, I'm talking about Valentine's Day. Heart-shaped chocolate candy boxes, roses, soft candlelight, romantic dinners, and maybe even a movie date night, followed by - uh, give me a second. Eccchhh!! Ok, just kidding. I really don't care what is done in many billions of bedrooms all across America.

'My Bloody Valentine': A Dissection (1981)
"Sarah, be my bloody valentine..."Character from "My Bloody Valentine". Hello, one and all. I love a good splatter movie, and with Valentine's Day approaching, it would seem useless to not watch the George Mihalka's 1981 blood-splattered bon-bon, My Bloody Valentine from 1981. Why? Just because. This Canadian independent film was released in February of that year at the height of the slasher movie craze. Yep, the days of "Crazy Eddie" record shops, pre-MTV, and simple pleasures like sex, blood and, guts, exploitation was never lost on this fat, hairy, man-crazy fuck!

The 'List: Fleetwood Mac
Hello, one and all. Here's the second artist profile for the new year. A mixed rock/pop act from both the US and the UK that formed in London. They went through many lineup changes and were considered more of a blues/rock band before changing their sound often and still have success elude them, until after another band member dropped out and there were five official members and their self-titled LP was released in 1975 and as they say...the rest is rock 'n' roll history.

'Get Out': A Dissection
Hello, one and all. So, I bit the bullet and finally watched Get Out after it was announced that it received four Academy Award nominations including Best Picture and a nod for it's charismatic lead star, UK actor Daniel Kaluuya, whose main credit is a teen dramedy in Britain called Skins and the Zack Snyder action-adventure, Sucker Punch.
