Graves encounters
Shakey Graves Photo: Kirk Stewart Certain musicians enjoy a reputation for being great performers — an innate skill for some, a learning process for more. For Alejandro Rose-Garcia, aka Shakey Graves, it’s been the latter, but his training for a different form of performance art helped perpetuate a now-budding music career. Since his days growing […]

The Philadelphia Experiment
Based on the 1984 sci-fi movie of the same name, this made-for-Syfy version doesn’t improve upon the premise of scientists cracking invisibility. Again, it has terrible consequences — namely, a World War II destroyer ship suddenly transported to a modern-day runway. Holy Battleship! Coffee barista Molly (Emilie Ullerup, TV’s Sanctuary) worries when her cop boyfriend […]

Here for the party
A lot of singers are more than happy to release an album every two years, maybe once a year if they’re especially fastidious. But for Gretchen Wilson, that’s not good enough. This year alone, she’s releasing three (her latest, Right on Time, dropped April 2) while embarking on a tour. This, mind you, is all […]

Robinson, will unearth and publicly display the contents of a time capsule buried 100 years ago under the church’s basement. The 6-foot-long, 3-foot-wide chest reportedly contains historical photographs, American Indian relics, newspapers and the like. As long as it doesn’t contain […]

Nic of time
By: Shannon Cornman There are two problems with the burgers at Nic’s Grill. 1. The line out the door before you can squeeze inside the 17-seat restaurant just to order. 2. Finding the bottom of the thing to pick it up. Fans of reading comprehension will note that I didn’t say the burger isn’t worth […]

The Loneliest Planet
Forty-nine minutes pass before an act of what passes for conflict occurs. Ironically, doing so further slows a glacial pace. The existential Western Meek’s Cutoff looks like Run Lola Run by comparison.
