"The only scripts I remember staying with me like that in recent memory were two. Here Comes the Flood by Simon Kinberg and Toy Monster around 2019. Because they were the two best, by a landslide.

It’s Black Friday, which as you probably know, has managed to creep up and possess Thanksgiving as well. This leaves Ken dropping his reluctant kids off at their grandparents as he heads in for his shift at We Love Toys. But at least he...

Rock On - Official Trailer for 'Steven Tyler: Out on a Limb' Documentary
"Everybody wants to know - why would I go country?" Momentum Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for the documentary Steven Tyler: Out on a Limb, a profile of the musician/rock artist known as Steven Tyler. The film is not about Aerosmith, per se, but about Tyler himself and focuses on his new style - country. The synopsis explains it's about him "as he embraces the challenges of shifting gears, both as a solo performer and in a new genre of music." Oh boy. The film features interviews with Steven Tyler, The Loving Mary Band, Slash, Robert Deleo, Jaren Johnston, Starfighters, David Hodges, Chris Destefano, and Nathan Barlowe. And it's directed by a filmmaker who made Aerosmith: Rock for the Rising Sun previously. Even though this is a real doc, it's one of the few I just couldn't care less about, but that's just me. Give it a look.

Music to Thaw the Deep Freeze of 2014
It was a brutal Winter (of our discontent), but it's finally Spring and there's plenty of new music to thaw even the most solid block of plowed snow. Here are ten of my favorite new rock/pop/dance/funk/folk tunes. Let us begin with this tremendous track (and album) from one of my favorite folk-rock singer/songwriters, the former New Yorker and now L.A.-based David Poe. Here he shares his muse on his debut single "When I Fly" from his soon-to-be-released long player When I Fly. Check him out on tour, too.

Nsfw aside, the "Leeches" video -- directed by Jessica Lauretti of the band This Frontier Needs Heroes -- is just one of the infectious tracks from the Shoulders album released by the terrifically talented singer/songwriter/composer Pt Walkley, who just happens to hail from NYC. So there.
