Rob's Entertainment Reviews

In this series, I want to talk about television shows that are "binge worthy". These could be shows on television, streaming services, or even a YouTube series. Basically, anything that I found myself not being able to stop watching, and just wanting to power straight through. The first in this series is HBO's historical, limited run series, Chernobyl. I have always been a fan of historical shows, and movies. One of my very favorite movies of all time would be the "Young Guns" movies (based on the life, and events of Billy the Kid, and the Wild West). So anytime I see a moment in history portrayed by actors, and actresses on the screen, I'm always happy to give them a chance, and see if I can't learn something in the process of being entertained. When I started seeing posts pop up on Facebook about a series detailing the Chernobyl disaster, I was immediately intrigued. From the first episode, I watched in horror as a terrible moment in history was...

For my second discography review at this blog, I thought that I would review one of the greatest Progressive Rock bands that you may have never heard. I have had the absolute joy of listening to the Prog outfit, Pinnacle, for years, and I have to say that they have become one of my very favorite bands. Their music is both fresh, and exciting, even if it does have many moments of looking back at prog bands of future passed. If you know the band, chances are that your opinion may vary from mine, but you know what they say, "Opinions are like right feet, everyone has them."

A Man's Reach: Pinnacle's debut album, "A Man's Reach", is sadly out of print. I say sadly, because I really enjoy this album. And while it does come in at the bottom of the list, as far as favorites in the Pinnacle discogra...

For my first post on this Entertainment Review Blog, I thought that I would do a Discography Review of Dream Theater's body of work. I've done this with a few other bands (and I'll post this here as well), and it ends up being a lot of work, but a lot of fun. Now, I am by no means a music expert. Nor am I an overly smart man. Because of this, you will find mistakes. But I'm okay with that. I do this for me. And if someone out there enjoys my words, then that is cool as well. These reviews go in order from least favorite in the discography, to my most favorite. Just remember, "least favorite" does not mean that I don't like the album, it just means that it's the one that I go to less often. ----- Rob's Discography Review: Dream Theater When Dream And Day Unite:  The first Dream Theater album sits at the bottom of my list because, though I love Charlie Dominicci's vocals, James LaBrie is Dream Theater's singer. Still, this is a ...
