 "Listen, in this regard, to 'Circles'... which then has choruses, guys, but those choruses... and we lovers of hardcore (punk...), those choruses simply make us swoon..."

This review praises Dag Nasty's debut album 'Can I Say' as a cornerstone of melodic hardcore punk. Released in 1986 on Dischord Records, it features refined aggression and heartfelt emotion.

 American History X by Tony Kaye is a film that hurts, a tough, violent, raw film. Evil.

 Hatred is a ball and chain: life is too short to be spent always angry.

American History X is a tough and raw film directed by Tony Kaye that explores deep themes of racism, hatred, and redemption. Edward Norton's powerful portrayal of Derek, a violent skinhead who undergoes a profound personal transformation in prison, anchors the narrative. The film uses striking black-and-white versus color cinematography to symbolize Derek’s changing worldview. Drawing comparisons to Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, it delivers a compelling social critique about prejudice and the possibility of change. The story ultimately emphasizes that hatred is destructive and life is too short to waste on anger. Watch American History X for a gripping exploration of hate, redemption, and the power of change.
