A fate no animal deserves
(Letter to the Editor ~ 03/24/10)
To the Editor, Last Wednesday evening I found a beautiful copper-eyed black cat with a large thick tail in my yard. After coaxing him over, he let me pet him and stroke that magnificent tail as he looked into my eyes with gratitude. I hoped he would find his way home, and if not, he would be taken to the HSPC for adoption. The next morning I looked for him and was horrified to find him behind my house, dead, his tail broken, his lips curled in pain...

Now that's just mean
(Column ~ 03/24/10)
Generally, I don't like the reality TV genre. Give me soap operas or mindless sitcoms. I use television as a form of escapism. My own real life is quite real enough for me, thanks. There are two exceptions, however. The first is "Gene Simmons Family Jewels."...

By CAINE GARDNER Film Critic Being a fan of most of Disney's animated releases, it takes something special to really blow me away.

Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Wallace offers a grungy mix of folk, country, blues and rock, all accented by his soul-soaked vocals. That may seem like a lot of influences to fit into a five-song debut EP, but this performer seems to maximize his resources. With just his voice and acoustic guitar, accented occasionally by harmonica or tambourine, this guy makes bigger sounds than should be expected...

She & Him live up to the hype on 'Volume 2'

'New Moon' a howling fine sequel comes to DVD
(Entertainment ~ 03/24/10)
After loathing "Twilight", I was a little shocked to find that I thought "New Moon" looked intriguing and more shocked that I actually wanted to see it. And I'll be the first one to say it -- I actually liked the movie. Sure, it was still ridiculously campy, but so were the horror movies of the '80s we all loved, weren't they?
