  Explosive! Extraordinary! Unforgettable!     "There are no two words in the English language more harmful than "good job". - Terrace Fletcher Whiplash is a headstrong film that literally entrances the audience from start to finish.  The film theme surrounds a young man, Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller), an ambitious jazz drummer student at the prestigious New York conservatory of music with an extraordinary musical gift who becomes entrenched in a personal war with Terrence Fletcher (J.K.Simmons)  a hardcore and often sadistic teacher. The struggle of egos between the two is downright mesmerizing as Fletcher's goal is to find someone to play the drums at the highest level possible (Charlie Parker-like) in the music industry.

     Lips, Lips, Lips          The blast of winter has crippled the east coast and Midwest in 2015 with a crushing blow of snow.  Snow, wind, and cold have shaped the landscape into a winter wonderland sometimes pretty and after awhile a place of tremendous bone chilling temperatures with mountains of white.  To keep warm, ladies and gents are bundled up in coats, scarves, hats, boots and gloves.  Yet, what about the face and the ever so lush lips that are not protected from the fierce storms?  The face is left viewing the frozen land while marching forth with a head down towards a warm destination.      "I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and...
