On October 6, 2009 at 9:02 am
At the Schoenfeld Theatre, (NYC). Written by Keith Huff. Directed by John Crowley. 90mins. No intermission. No disrespect to the playwright (Keith Huff), but when the play “A Steady Rain” opened on Broadway this week it was all about the two stars – Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman. Let’s face it… the script could have [...]

Car lovers: Sympathize with me for a second. You know the feeling – Cruising down the interstate, not really noticing or caring how quickly you’re breezing by the rest of the traffic. At least, until you see those lights in your rearview mirror. As soon as you regain your composure, there’s always one fleeting thought [...]
Move Over, Charlie Brown
On at 8:45 am
Children are fickle and easily amused things. A dime and two fingers set apart an inch can grab a pair’s attention for hours; an Xbox, the assiduities of only one. Regardless of whether or not you have children of your own, memories of your youth are a witch’s brew of hyperactivity and laziness; hyperfocused attention [...]
Tickle Me Bullets

According to the FBI, there was a 25% increase in background checks for gun sales during the first half of 2009 (from the same period in 2008). Hence, gun sales have risen over the past year. What is even more interesting is the amount of ammunition that has been sold — or the amount of [...]
Just When We Thought We Had It All Figured Out…
On at 8:55 am
Have scientists disproved the “missing link?“ Well, sort of. They found a missing link, but not the one they had always thought they’d find. What they found was the oldest known human ancestor this past Thursday in Ethiopia. A 4.4-million-year-old skeleton named Ardi. This finding challenges many long-held assumptions about how humans and apes evolved. [...]
The Ladies Room: Put Your Best Face Forward
On at 8:54 am
On a search for random YouTube hilarity, I stumbled upon the videos of self-taught make-up artist Lauren Luke. She is officially one of my new favorite things. She does a series of step-be-step make-up tutorials. However, she’s not your regular YouTube personality showing you things you already know, she takes her looks directly from music [...]
The Weak Case For Roman Polanski
On at 8:27 am
Roman Polanski raped a minor and he should be punished. Case closed, right? Apparently it’s not that easy. Thanks to an astounding number of people speaking out in his behalf. This has lead many of us to question what is going on that we may not be seeing. It looks like half of the film [...]
Real Men Never Wear…
On at 4:30 am
Sometimes I am sadly reminded of how young and behind the curve America the great is. While bra burnings and domestic rights are current events here in America they are social topics of the past for other countries. While no country is perfect, and all have their own issues to face, I have to wonder when will [...]
An Artist’s Thoughts on the President
On October 2, 2009 at 9:29 am
As an artistic, 20-something woman living and working in NYC I’ve found myself in quite the pickle. I’ve developed a new view that goes against everything someone like me is supposed to believe in. I feel as though I’m defying gravity, or some unwritten code that says I have to be idealistic, hopeful, and supportive. [...]
Ok… So Letterman’s NOT QUITE Polanski…but…(VIDEO)
On at 9:20 am
David Letterman has for years had fun at the expense of others especially in pointing out their sexual dalliances. Well all those chickens came home to roost this week for the 62 year old Late Night host. He was forced to admit liasons with staffers, and even did so on his show. Fortunately all of [...]
The Wizard of Oz Goes High Definition
On at 9:02 am
It’s like a nightmare come true. When I was a kid, I was quite taken with the annual spectacle that was The Wizard of Oz on network TV. I mean, wow, it actually switched from black and white to color. How cool is that? In retrospect, not cool at all. I recently caught it on [...]
Grey Is The New Black!
On at 8:51 am
This past summer, half part due to the recession and half due to fashion’s ever revolving fickle nature, the 80′s look was everywhere. From acid wash jeans, bright neon pullovers to skinny jeans with off the shoulder tops, fashion re-embraced the look of the 80′s. It has often been said that the 80′s was ahead [...]

A true TiVO-holic like myself never misses an episode of his favorite @$s kicking. I know some of you are now hooked on the UFC like Michael Moore on Twinkies; thusly I come, bearing a write up of the third foray into the seclusion that is the Ultimate Fighter household. As the episode opens, at [...]
The Final Taboo?
On October 1, 2009 at 9:26 am
The Final Taboo? In her 24 years at the top of the TV talk show heap, Oprah Winfrey has a knack for attracting the big story. Books she recommends instantly become bestsellers. Guests she taps with her scepter become celebrities. Presidential candidates she endorses become president of the United States. In the end, the story [...]

Grab your favorite pair of skinny or fitted jeans and pair them with a beat up pair of motorcycle boots this fall. From Los Angeles to New York and specific areas between the two, both men and women are raving about this look. Worn with a black three quarter length trench, v-neck t-shirt and a scarf [...]
Movie Section Editor’s Film Of The Week (VIDEO)
On at 9:06 am
In regards to the recent media storm surrounding the arrest of Roman Polanski I would like to focus on a director that refuses to sign the “Free Polanski” petition. Since we’ve alright highlighted Luc Besson via parclive update, I will focus on Kevin Smith. He has his own raunchy style of humor, but manages to [...]
