“Leaving Wonderland… In a Fit of Rage” began life as the second solo project from Marcy Playground’s talented frontman John Wozniak, but was eventually became Marcy’s fourth studio album.

The album deals with topics that almost everyone can relate to, becoming a fantastic soundtrack for life. The amazingly personal and soulful lyrics are accompanied by fantastically written music  that shows just how talented Marcy Playground is.

It’s an excellent album, I’ll say that right now. But was it worth the five year wait? Continue reading →

[Music Review] Marcy Playground “MP3”

marcyplayground mp3Overview:

Five years would come and go before Marcy Playground would release a follow-up effort to their 1999 album, “Shapeshifter.”  Marcy Playground’s 3rd studio album, titled “MP3,” was highly anticipated by fans, despite the fact that the band would not deliver a tour to support or hype the album’s release. Couple that with the fact that there was virtually no radio air time for any of the four released singles and it’s easy to see why this album is almost virtually unknown to anyone who isn’t a die-hard Marcy fan.

Hey guys, hope everyone had a happy holiday! Not really any site updates to talk about this week, but I will tell you that we’re getting ready to have a small contest. It’ll be an easy contest, and a couple of people are guaranteed to win a delicious candy bar, but that’s all I’m saying for now. It’s nothing big, but it’s a contest regardless.

But other than that there’s really nothing else to talk about. Have a great night and, as always, keep reading Everyview!

[DVD Review] Young & Handsome: A Night With Jeff Garlin

garlin Overview:

For years, I have enjoyed the work of Jeff Garlin as Larry David’s manager on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” arguably the best American comedy series of the past decade. He has a very likable screen presence which plays off the curmudgeon brilliance of  David quite nicely. So when I saw Netflix was streaming his new stand-up DVD “Young & Handsome” a week before it hit stores, I was very eager to view it.

Sadly, while Garlin’s likability is still very present on stage, much of “Curb’s” hilarity isn’t. “Young & Handsome” is occasionally amusing but never hilarious, at times a bit tedious, and it lacks the polished feel you’d expect from a stand-up concert DVD. Continue reading →

[Food Review] McDonald’s Angus Deluxe Burger

I don’t eat McDonald’s too often. You see, I used to work for the fast food giant. It’s not that anything particularly gross ever went on behind the scenes, but after eating nothing but McDonald’s for lunch over a span of 3 months, it just loses any appeal it had before.

But now that they’ve finally decided to add a new high quality line of  burgers to their stale menu, I can’t help but be curious. And as our friends at GrubGrade have pointed out, the last time McDonald’s released a new burger was in 2001 with the Big N’ Nasty. I mean Tasty. Whatever, they suck. Continue reading →

A while back I got my hands on a couple of cans of Verve, an extremely healthy energy supplement with powerful antioxidant attributes. Compared to other similar products, I thought Verve was probably the best energy supplement out there. But that was before I tried MonaVie EMV. Continue reading →

[Movie Review] Public Enemies (Theatrical)

So, as you may have noticed, and as I so clearly pointed out in my review, the Summer of 2009 has blown ass. At least in terms of movies. It has been a hollow shell of a blockbuster movie season, with dud after dud pervading our theaters.

It’s to be expected that movies might not quite live up to expectations. However, this summer has been one to absolutely RAPE expectations. Anyone who saw Transformers 2, and read my review knows how I felt about that abomination.

But, today, July 1st 2009, was the day I had my eye on all summer. And purely because of the release of Public Enemies. Continue reading →
