PRLog -- Writer Arend Anton is concerned with the movies, but just as concerned with the trends behind them, their societal cause and effect both positive and negative, and what it all says about us. At the same time, The Bigger Picture seeks to make such heady notions both concise and entertaining to read. By not constraining movie reviews to thumbs-up/thumbs-
down, Anton is taking film criticism to brand new places.
Popdose.Com, celebrating its anniversary, has quickly become a go-to website for pop culture commentary, music and movie reviews, political opinion and a distinctive brand of coverage. Popdose celebrates the love of the media as much as it critically dissects it. Rising from the ashes of Editor-In-Chief Jeff Giles’ former Jefitoblog, Popdose has gathered some of the blog-world’s finest writers in one place, the perfect one-stop entertainment-
related venue. Senior Editor Robert Cass and Managing Editor Jason Hare both have impressive credentials as well as ongoing columns for the site (Sugar Water and Chart Attack! respectively.)
New Music Editor Taylor Long maintains music reviews as well as her own acclaimed blog T-Sides. Film Editor Bob Cashill contributes the No Concessions column, featuring film criticism that is both unique and free of advertiser complication and conflict-of-
interest.
Popdose.Com also features writers Will Harris (Bullz-Eye.Com)
with his exploration into the best of power pop Hooks ‘N’ You, John C. Hughes’ continuation of his popular blog Lost In The ‘80s now expanded into the ‘70s as well as the ‘90s, and musicians Darren Robbins, Ken Shane and Dw. Dunphy who frequently offer their own skewed view of music, the web and the world in general.
Popdose.Com’
s regular features include Jon Cummings’ bold Political Culture series, Dave Steed’s discussion of could-have-been-
hits called Bottom Feeders, Ted Asregadoo’s creative Mix Six, Zack Dennis’ Exit Music series exploring the tunes deemed worthy to close a movie, Molly Marinik’s reports on live theater and Broadway, Kelly Stitzel’s Soundtrack Saturday, Ben Wiser’s Test Of The Boomerang detailing the best in jam-band music and culture, David Medsker’s exploration in long-form remix White Label Wednesday, Mojo Flucke’s Cold Shot and Scott Malchus’ consistently moving series Basement Songs.
