Santana's reunion album 'IV' is held together by the kind of chemistry that only comes when deep friendships are renewed.

If every show on their upcoming reunion tour is like this one, you're all in for a big treat.

In the seven years since Cheap Trick's last album, the usual things that sometimes happen to bands that have been around as long as they have happened.

I had high hopes for this movie, I really did. I'm still going to go see it but I'm not going into this movie with the high standards and overall badassery I did originally. I'm talking about the new Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice set to premiere tonight across the country...

Zack Snyder makes superhero movies, but his characters don’t act very heroic. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice features all the other trappings of the superhero genre: Capes, gadgets, outlandish muscles, punching stuff. But the two stars aren’t noble or chivalrous; they’re violent, aggressive, and angry — mostly at each other instead of the bad guys. In Snyder’s formulation, protecting the world from evil isn’t a gift or a calling; it’s a burden. And that feeling is reflected in the movie itself, a burdensome 150- minute slog about two men fighting over who is in the right when both are very clearly in the wrong.

Death, unfortunately, is a part of life. However, it has always been in the human nature to extend life as much as possible. We're survivors by nature after all. But sometimes things happen that cut life short. Some preventable, some not so much...

EA UFC 2 is one of the most realistic UFC games since THQ reinvigorated the MMA genre with UFC Undisputed back in 2009, and I'm still not sure if that's good or bad. On one hand I have to plan out each fight as if I were mapping out strategies for a real MMA fight — which will never happen in a million years — and that requires thought and quick decisions on when to strike and when to try a takedown. On the other hand I'm really bad at planning for MMA, preferring to just punch and kick the crap out of an opponent as opposed to clinching or going to the ground, and that approach gets me beaten up a lot.

The Who definitely gave the fans at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, March 3, a show to remember.

This is 'The End' for Black Sabbath, and the legendary band is going out on top! The metal godfathers played the "Word's Most Famous Arena" on Feb. 25 and 27.

I'm a pretty laid back guy. I have very few pet peeves. Lack of common sense being a big pet peeve of mine. There is one other thing that just really gets under my skin and that's people who say common phrases totally wrong. I'll give examples...

It seems like food contamination has been front and center in the news in recent years.  From outbreaks in lettuce, broccoli to the infamous shuttering of Blue Bell plants due to listeria it seems manufacturing safety might have taken a back seat to production numbers. ...

They've had more than their share of highs and lows, and that goes for the discography, too.
