Odesza’s A Moment Apart is one of those rare albums where nearly every song is a banger. I can’t count how many times I’ve let this album play for me in my iPod Nano on the motorcycle rides home from work. The title song is…
When I think of Reznor/Ross lately, I’m reminded of “In Motion” from their Academy Award winning score for The Social Network, the dark piano tones in “Hypomania” from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, or the slow building craziness of “Technically, Missing” from the Gone Girl…
Back in 1986, Optimus Prime muttered 6 six words to Megatron that would sear itself into the minds of kids for a generation. “One shall stand, One shall fall.” And here we are, 30 years later, still using that phrase, or something like it. as…
Just about everyone’s waiting for Denis Villeneuve’s remake of Frank Herbert’s Dune. Having grown up on the David Lynch version (and making my way through the novel), it has some big shoes to fill. Thankfully, what we’ve seen of it so far seems interesting. Villeneuve…
I can’t quite remember how I found out about 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Growing up, most of my movie news came from four major sources – Entertainment Tonight, Siskel & Ebert, the occasional movie poster you’d see at a bus stop or cinema. If…

Whenever I hear the name “Birds of Prey”, I think of the old CW show with Dina Meyer, Ashley Scott and Rachel Skarsten. Thankfully, WB has seen fit to upgrade all of that. It also changes the story somewhat, as the original Birds of Prey…
DC will never fully give Gotham any rest. Why should they, though? With Batman’s 80th birthday, it makes sense to keep the fires burning by announcing a film taking place in his playground. With Joker, we now have the 4th iteration of Batman’s nemesis over…
Tonight’s episode of Game of Thrones, “Beyond the Wall” was amazing. For a season that’s only 7 episodes long, they’ve managed to really tie up a number of loose ends. Note that what I’m sharing here is a spoiler, so if you haven’t watched the…
I woke up this morning and found out that legendary composer and Academy Award Winner Ennio Morricone has passed away at the age of 91. Unfortunately, I haven’t the knowledge to fully give Morricone the justice he deserves. He was known mostly for his scores…
