Reviews

In this section, find reviews of assorted things.

Sags and Lumbers

As we promised, here come the articles. And we're starting with a good one! In Hingston's latest book review, he reads the English translation of Season of Ash by Jorge Volpi (as translated by Alfred Mac Adam). And he gives his humble two cents. If you liked Michael's previous book reviews, and I know as a fact that you did, then this one will also be right up your figurative alley.


Warren's Late Reviews: Europe

Even though this review is a year late, it doesn't really matter when we put this up. It's a review of Europe, and Europe ain't going anywhere. The place hasn't changed in 600 years. Last time I was there I saw castles! What kind of people still have castles? Europeans. That's who.

Anyway, Warren not only thoroughly reviewed Europe, but also took the pictures that are attached to this article. Enjoy!

REVIEW: Call Me Ahab

In his review of Anne Finger's Call Me Ahab, Michael Hingston tackles the controversial question of whether anyone should write about the disabled. Just kidding. This is a book review. So he reviews this book, and particularly how it tackles the literary and historical portrayal of the disabled through inventive fiction.



A gushing recommendation

Here at Crab Town, we don't know much from real books, with all the Archie Comics, pamphlets, and product packaging that we're always reading. So every once in a while we check with our friend, Mr. Hingston here, to see what's what in the world of literature. Here's his latest review.




Better than Meet the Fockers

The author of this review once quit a job to go watch Zoolander in the theatre. Read this review to find out what she thinks of the latest Ben Stiller movie, Greenberg.






Salmon Reviews: Movies

Having not posted a movie review in a while, we decided to use one of our press passes to send a salmon to the movies.







Brit TV Spotlight: Skins

We wanted to do more television coverage, and since you already know what's happening on Parks and Rec, it seems to make more sense to do some spotlights on British TV shows that you might not have seen yet. In this first one, our resident British TV expert Cameron Maitland tackles Skins.

Hopefully we won't run out of shows to cover for a while. Isn't Britain the place where they only have one or two channels?

Irrelevant Movie Review: Gigantic

When we say that this is an irrelevant movie review, do we mean that the review is irrelevant since it came out a long time ago and it doesn’t make sense to review it now? Or do we mean that the movie is not relevant to anything that anyone has ever felt or experienced in the real world? You decide! Starring that guy from Little Miss Sunshine.


Meg and Jeph's Late Reviews: Whatcha Say and More!

Another Meg and Jeph's Late Reviews entry. Three album reviews. And they're not even that late. Sure, most magazine's review things when they come out, or shortly before. But two of these albums came out in the last two weeks. That's not bad for this column. The "Whatcha Say" single and EP both came out a while ago, but it's new to these guys.



Meg and Jeph's Late Reviews: Things to do in Seattle When You’re Old

You wouldn't know, because they've only done their review once in this magazine, but usually Meg and Jeph review albums. This time is different though, because they went to Seattle in August, and they liked it so much that they went back again this month. Eventually, they got around to writing a review of their trips. So now it's here in this edition of Meg and Jeph's Late Reviews.

Enjoy!
