The Wolfman will have you howling for more
Written by: David Entin
The moon is full and the beast is on the hunt. The great Universal Monsters have truly gone through countless iterations of classic infamy and festering cinematic afterbirth.

The Ultimate Compliment to CES: Cirque du Soleil’s KÀ
Written by: Ian Markowitz
Cirque du Soleil’s KÀ at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is certainly a spectacle worth a stop when in Las Vegas, but the true story with the show is the sheer investment in the technology and the performance space by Cirque du Soleil for the show. I envision when Cirque du [...]
My only post about ebook readers…the enTourage eDGe
Written by: Ian Markowitz
