By: Nikki May You’re taught a few things when you’re born and raised in Austin: Music is life, breakfast tacos can be eaten at any time of day, and SXSW means that downtown should be avoided if you want any chance of keeping your sanity and patience. Rightfully so. It wasn’t until I was older… Continue reading SXSW: New Experience, Old Resident

SXSW: Days Two and Three

Review: 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars) The decision to make this follow up to Zach Snyder’s first film much more than a “Picks up where they left off” sequel makes this movie a richer and fuller installment than I was expecting. As a fan of 300 and Zach Snyder’s incredible visual style… Continue reading Review: 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE
