This is going to be short and sweet...like me. I read this book at the ripe age of 12. I was just getting into The Ramones and this book is just fantastic. I was just getting into Punk back then but I beleive that this is a good book for even people that know a lot about good Punk music and the ...

Dr. Timothy Leary's Favorite Photo of Burroughs

+ Life Changing
+ Re/Search#4/5 a review

The W.S. Burroughs photo in this issue was the late Dr. Timothy's favorite of Bill Burroughs--the great one with the gun in his hand. This alone is worth the price. Great photo, especially with the interview of Burroughs and the part about the murder of wife Joan in Mexico City. "There are no ...

Pollock106 reviews
Tom Bower, Jennifer Connelly

Sony Pictures, 2001

Art minus hollywood frills

+ Tormented soul and a brilliant talent
+ Best DVD Commentary Remark Ever

There is no simple way to label this film any more than there is a an easy way to describe its subject. Pollock was a fascinating person and the movie does an excellent job in describing how his paintings evolved. It's educational, in fact, gloriously so, but the film goes so much farther than ...

Love is the bleedin law...

+ Not What You Think but a Gem Anyways

This is a superb biography of Israel Regardie who is responsible for great Occult classics such as 'A garden of Pomegranates', 'The Tree of Life' and countless others.

Thomas Jane, Keanu Reeves

Universal Studios, 2005

one that slipped through the cracks

+ This isn't the last time he'll commit suicide
+ This movie is perfect for the restless.

It seems that this movie can only be appreciated by fans of beat literature. If you happen to be one, or are curious about the beats, this is a fantastic movie. The movie is a dramatization of a letter that Neal Cassidy, the muse of the beat generation, wrote his famous pal, Jack Kerouac. The film ...

A Nudge Toward Self-Understanding

+ Neo should have feel this way after the red pill
+ nice selection of miscellany

Rebels and Devils is a collection of literary forms, from essay to comic, dealing with the psychology of liberation. Standing alone, it is overwhelmingly inspiring at times, always thought-provoking, and seldom dogmatic. The point of this book can be as simple as an interesting read, or as grand as ...

Factotum - How Could Any Bukowski Fan Not Love This Movie?

+ Excellent film, great acting, very good direction

Factotum is a great, though perhaps difficult to swallow movie. Granted, there seems to have been a mixed reaction to this movie. Yet Bukowski himself elicited mixed reactions, from his work and personal life alike. So it comes as no surprise to me. What does surprise me is to hear many ...
