Review: Pumpkin Ale
This new Pumpkin Ale from Tooele’s own Bonneville Brewery pours a nice-looking ruby/amber color with a familiar nose of allspice and clove. The taste starts with rich caramel malt, nutmeg and a slight dose of cinnamon. … read more
Review: Jacked B Nimble
Jacked B Nimble pours an ebony color with ruby highlights, and the nose reveals nutmeg, clove, cinnamon and some boozy whiskey notes. The taste starts with the basic pumpkin pie spices along with some vanilla/bourbon notes. … read more
Review: Pumpkinhead
Pumpkinhead pours a semi-cloudy, pale-orange color. The nose has strong notes of spices of nutmeg, cinnamon, clove and brown sugar. The taste is a lot like the nose, with notes of pumpkin and spices of nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, allspice and brown sugar. … read more
Review: Dithering Doodles 19
There is a place where inner and outer worlds combine like Voltron; where tsunamis are humanity’s greatest enemy; where Lucy (you know, Miss 5¢ psychiatrist from Peanuts) finally gets what she deserves; and Cracker Barrel is a toilet-plunger swashbuckling hellhole. … read more
Review: Gupter Puncher Issue 16
I never imagined that Mega Man would make me question the nature of my reality. Gupter Puncher Issue 16 is the first Gupter Puncher zine I’ve ever read, and it makes me curious to go back and read issues 1–15, though, apparently, some of the earlier issues have gone missing. … read more

Guillermo del Toro transports viewers to the past and engulfs
Review: Hot Girls Wanted
Hot Girls Wanted principally examines Tressa Silgnero’s (aka Stella May) foray into amateur porn.

The Martian Director: Ridley Scott 20th Century Fox In Theaters: 10.02 Whenever the two elements of Ridley Scott and science-fiction merge together, we are bound to endure something truly engaging. From Blade Runner and Alien to Prometheus and, now, The Martian, Scott has entertained audiences with his brilliant style of filmmaking that brings the genre
Review: Pan
Every single time I told someone another Peter Pan movie was coming out, I received the same reaction: “Why?” The twist to this tale is that it’s the prequel to the legendary classic, so again, I ask the same question: “Why?” … read more
