Mandy Moore – Interview [2002]
A talk with A Walk To Remember star Mandy Moore! Mandy Moore is only seventeen. Believe it. She’s got two albums behind her, a few films, modeling and more. Mandy has matured quite a bit over the years and she is showing it in her career choices. For her the most important thing isn’t whether…

Snow Dogs
Cast: Cuba Gooding JR Studio: Disney Rating: 3/10 Snow Dogs is a family film and its only goal is being fun for kids. However, it can be quite wishy-washy and saltine-cracker-dry. There could be worse things to complain about. Snow Dogs is about carefree dentist Ted Brooks (Cuba Gooding Jr.) who seems to have it…

Ani DiFranco – Up Up Up Up Up
Artist: Ani DiFranco Title: Up Up Up Up Up Label: Righteous Babe Rating: 9/10 While Ani can be fiery, passionate, and often disturbing, it is her intelligence and vivid lyrical paintings that make her offerings so gratifying. Up up up up up up, her twelfth solo album, is awash in the Wurlitzer, but never slim…

Bell Biv Devoe – BBD
Artist: Bell Biv Devoe Title: BBD Label: Universal Rating: 2/10 BBD? Remember the song “Poison”? Where have these guys been for a decade? The last time I saw Michael Bivens he was in Boyz II Men’s video for the first song they ever released. So these guys have been out of the limelight for what…

The Corrs – In Blue
Artist: The Corrs Title: In Blue Label: Atlantic Rating: 5/10 I want to know what was in the drinking water up there in Ireland because The Corrs might just be the best looking family I’ve ever seen. Not only were they blessed with beauty, but also a hell of a lot of talent. They sing,…

Cypress Hill – IV
Artist: Cypress Hill Title: IV Label: Columbia Rating: 7/10 Cypress Hill’s latest effort, simply titled IV, is a smoothly crafted album that represents Cypress’ maturity as well as their increasingly strong musical background. The changes of the past few years have not scarred the band in the least. In fact, they have maintained their status…

Phil Collins – A Hot Night In Paris
Artist: Phil Collins Title: A Hot Night In Paris Label: Atlantic Rating: 5/10 From the start the album reminded me of shopping at one o’clock in the morning for pop and chips. Don’t get me wrong, the band is excellent, but this disc had me wishing Phil Collins would break out and start crooning. This…

The Brotherhood Of The Wolf
Cast: Vincent Cassels Studio: Universal Rating: 3/10 The Brotherhood Of The Wolf is all bark and no bite. The Brotherhood Of The Wolf is a French film that is full of lovely faces like Vincent Cassels and Emilie Dequenne. It has a monster, if you can call it that, as it blurs the line between…

O-Town – Interview [2002]
How’s the tour so far? It’s going awesome. Right now we’re out with Britney, which has been an overwhelming experience. We’ve gotten to perform for a lot of people who have never seen us perform before and for people who are used to seeing edited television. That has done wonders for us, being able to…

Robert Bradley – Time To Discover
Artist: Robert Bradley Title: Time To Discover Label: RCA Rating: 8/10 Coming out of the box quickly are Robert Bradley and Kid Rock, roaring and taking you “Higher”. Robert Bradley’s vocals are extremely gripping and beautiful. Just imagine Lenny Kravitz but more mature, and then add bits of both B.B. King and Ray Charles’ souls…
