Gravy from ear to ear
You have to be very comfortable with someone to eat a genuine New Orleans-style roast beef and gravy po’boy in front of them. What makes it so good is what makes it so messy — the slices of simmered roast beef smothered in rich, smooth gravy ladled over fresh French bread that soaks up the…
Movie: Hellboy
Our Rating: 0.00 On paper, having directed “Blade II” might appear to be Guillermo del Toro’s most relevant qualification for bringing Mike Mignola’s cult comic “Hellboy” to the screen. But what the picture could use is more in common with del Toro’s “The Devil’s Backbone,” one of the greatest filmed ghost stories of the last…

Movie: Home on the Range
Our Rating: 3.00 Proving that family cinema is where Improv-circuit gags go when they die, Disney’s latest animated feature provides a final resting place for such moribund comedy concepts as anger management, “Got milk?” and the self-kissing bravado of James Brown. But whatever the flick borrows from the Godfather of Soul, it owes infinitely more…

Don’t stop believin’
Tucked into an oddly shaped and somewhat dated strip mall near the intersection of State Road 434 and I-4 in Longwood, Journeys Restaurant has a good bit going against it. Shadowed by Bonefish Grill and surrounded by vacant storefronts, the cozily luxurious tone that the owners clearly want to impart to visitors is a tough…

I’m with Sen. Stupid
An ominous precedent was set last week when the United States Senate voted 61-38 to approve the “Unborn Victims of Violence Act.” The bill frames the harming of a fetus as an entirely separate crime from an attack on its mother; in doing so, it essentially defines “life” as beginning at conception. Pro-choice advocates were…
True colors
Just a good ol’ boy, never meanin’ no harm, who don’t beat all you ever saw, though I have been in trouble with the law since the day I was born. So it’s in keeping that en route to my next personal exploitation, I cannot open my car’s passenger door — recently replaced after being…
Spring cleaning
Well, my friends, spring has sprung, the grass is rising, and the birds and the bees are doing whatever it is they do. There’s so much going on in the sporting world that it would be unfair to focus on just one element. So, like Marshall Mathers before me … I’m cleaning out my closet.…

Rally for Equality and Bodhisattva closes
With the gay marriage issue already fermenting in most minds like a fine nip of valley chardonnay, we didn’t know quite what to expect upon arrival at the Rally for Equality March 27 at City Hall. A tea dance? A brawl? Who can tell when it comes to gay people? But, to both our dismay…
Random fistfights are go!
“I was a lot more intrigued by bands that had a short attention span and would change things quickly when growing up,” says Keith Buckley, vocalist for Buffalo, N.Y., metalcore quintet Every Time I Die. This is evident in the band’s “Hot Damn!,” on which Buckley, guitarists/sibling Jordan Buckley and Andrew Williams, drummer Michael “Ratboy”…
But we’re phat in Japan
The Japanese obsession with American music is legendary, due primarily to the purity of the actual obsession. Anyone who’s ever tried to outbid a Japanese collector for an obscure Blue Note LP, small-label psych-rock record or early hip-hop 12-inch on eBay knows this. It’s not so much that the Japanese are bereft of their own…
Those were the days?
Music videos from “alternative bands” (or, as we called ’em then, “college rock” bands) weren’t very commonly seen in the late ’80s and early ’90s, primarily because many of the bands would be lucky to get shunted into the last half-hour of “120 Minutes.” But just because you never saw the videos doesn’t mean they…
Problems in Pepperhill Park
If you need an example of how screwy the city’s ongoing efforts to revitalize Parramore are, look no further than its negotiations with Urban Renaissance Development, LLC, to redevelop Pepperhill Park. Pepperhill Park, aka Federal-Livingston-Otey Place, is a 3.5-acre site located just west of TD Waterhouse Centre and south of Amelia Street. It borders a…
Calling it like they see it
Penn & Teller, the sweaty-faced ham and silent schmuck Vegas vagabond act, have been succeeding at their peculiar brand of sideshow annoyance for some 30 years now. But they popped heavily into the pop culture radar as soft-shoes in Run-DMC’s classic video, “My Adidas,” and carried on through the standard array of cameo appearances and…
48-hour party people
“You want to know why I came back?” Elvis asked me, in person, early in the evening of March 19. “It’s because the drugs are better here than they are in hell!” Elvis would know. He was flying fast and low on something not prescribed by a physician. And he was directing traffic. Only at…
