This is extremely short notice, but one of my favorite movies ever (Oldboy) is playing tonight at the Alamo Drafthouse West Oaks location at 6:30pm. Tickets are only $9. If you haven't seen it or even you have, I highly recommend going to see it on the big screen in 35mm the way it was meant to be seen.http://www.examiner.com/movie-in-houston/oldboy-is-playing-houston-tonight

The Houston Film Critics Society held their end of the year awards this past Saturday, January 7th. This is my quick write-up of the event (which was ready to go yesterday, but my power went out for over eight hours right when I tried to post it). This event is fun every year, but I always look forward to them ending mostly because when this ends an entire year of movies is just over the horizon.The Houston Film Critics Society held their end of the year awards this past Saturday,... more

Seeing Hugo a few days before Christmas wasn't exactly the best experience for me. I found myself with a ton of time on my hands, so I took pictures of nearly every movie poster in the building and decided to give my thoughts on movies we have to look forward to in the coming year. This surely doesn't cover everything, but it's a decent start.Seeing Hugo a few days before Christmas wasn't exactly the best experience for... more

The iconic SugarHill Recording Studios, also known as the ‘Abbey Road of the South’, celebrates is 70th year in business with a release of a tribute CD unlike other compilation available. ZenHill has teamed with the studio to bring release the project, lovingly recorded and produced by SugarHill Senior Engineer and resident historian Andy Bradley.
The two-volume set is packed with classic hit songs from the 50′s to the 2000′s that were originally recorded in the historic studio. SugarHill drew upon it’s long list of current artists and studio alumni to honor, reinterpret, and in some cases faithfully cover songs that defined the sounds coming through radios all over the world for the last seven decades. From Destiny’s Child to Freddie Fender, from The Moving Sidewalks, to The Sir Douglas Quintet you will hear familiar smash hits alongside songs that will reignite old memories, making you take to Wikipedia to find out more about the original release.
Roy Head returned to Studio A at SugarHill to record the new version of “Treat Her Right” nearly 40 years after the original session. On this CD he turns in, if possible, an even more energetic and possibly less inhibited version of the original. Johnny Bush, Glenna Bell, Moses Guest, Anita Kruse, John Evans, Southern Backtones, Jesse Dayton, El Orbits, Clouseaux, Drop Trio, Champion Sisters, Deniz Tek, Kenny Cordray, Bert Wills, Love Street, Row Zero, Kelly Schoppa, Vatos Locos, Classical Grass, Sleepy Labeef, Don Sanders, Johnny Falstaff, Jeff Chance and Randy Cornor and many more turn in brilliant performances, some faithful to the original, some radically reinterpreted. It is a great listen.
