Sam Sparro


Who said white boys don’t have soul? Sam Sparro is on a mission to turn that perception on its head. Don’t take it from us; an extraordinary soul singer commented on a young Sparro exclaiming, “Damn, that white boy can sing!” after she received a private performance from Sparro of a new gospel song. The woman who was blown away by the vocal capacity of the 10 year old boy went by the name of Chaka Khan.

This former child actor bounced back and forth from L.A to his native city of Sydney, Australia with his gospel singer/recording artist of a father, Chris Falson, before he made a trip to a city that has intrigued him since he was young; London. He quickly adapted to the London life submerging himself into the British music scene.

It wasn’t until Sparro was forced to move back to L.A and take a job in a coffee shop when he wrote his second single, “Black and Gold,” that has caught the attention of millions of people around the world and is currently climbing the charts at a magnificent pace. His music is described as a mixture of soul, electro, and funk creating the distinctive sound that is Sam Sparro.

“I’m just a guy who likes to sing and wear fun clothes, who wants to have a laugh and wants everyone to get along,” He describes himself.

In a time where every song sounds exactly the same, Sparro brings a breath of fresh air. Keep your ears open as Sparro infiltrates your car radios in the near future; if you can’t wait that long, you can experience his refreshing sound on iTunes or visit his MySpace page at myspace.com/samsparro.

Don't "Mess" with the Zohan


The brilliant comedic actor who blessed the world with great characters such as Bobby Boucher, Happy Gilmore, and Billy Madison is back to introduce his latest addition to his immense arsenal of comedic personalities.

Zohan Dvir, played by Sandler, is a Mossad super-agent who decides to fake his own death in order to escape the grasp of his war-driven country and follow his dream of becoming a New York City hair stylist. Sounds like a semi-funny plot that could turn into an extremely funny movie with the sumptuousness comedic aptitude of Sandler.

Nothing prepared The Infamous Lawfirm for the monstrosity of a movie that was released to the innocent eyes of the public on June 6th, 2008. Due to the fact each member of the Lawfirm paid twelve dollars to witness this train wreck of a movie on the big screen, we stayed for the entire 113 painful laugh less minutes of the worst movie of Adam Sandler’s exceptional career; maybe the worst movie of the new millennium.

Zohan is filled with horrible accents as well as enough racism to make you turn in your seat is if you were participating in a murder interrogation. Not only was this movie not funny, but the story line didn’t make sense and nothing involved in this movie was consistent. Our concurring advice to the Sandler fans that have yet to see this movie: SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Our love for Sandler movies have not been phased a bit; he has and will continue to make the world laugh with innovative gut-busting performances in the future. As for the present, Mr. Billy Madison is sitting on a disappointing goose egg.
