Regulation is a bloody mess
When an autistic child enslaves an entire neighborhood by summoning up his favorite cartoon cowboys and unleashing them on the innocent, things can only go downhill.
Along the way limbs will be lost, heads will be blown open and blood will be splashed. But look on the bright side, "The Regulators," originally written by Richard Bachman and later revised by Stephen King is sure to entertain.
That is if you can stomach it.
The plot is simple. Strange things are afoot; people are being attacked and killed by ghastly beings and something needs to be done quickly.
Will the neighborhood be able to band together to end this mess before the child-crafted meat wagons trample them?
Grade: B
They've done it again
After listening to Coldplay's new album, X&Y, numerous times one thing can be said: it was all yellow.
Fans of previous albums don't need to worry about experiencing a new Coldplay. Chris Martin and the gang have yet to lose their unique sound.
Martin's vocals ,terrific guitar and piano licks are the combination that makes this work so well. The lyrics are equally powerful, forcing listeners to reflect on life, love and the future.
Newcomers and fans alike: you will not be disappointed with X&Y.
Grade: A
