Reviews of Music, Movies, Anime & More

Glissceule is as blissed-out as shoegazer can possibly get, consisting of nothing but nigh-endless layers of Cortez’ heavily processed guitars and Arpin’s angelic cooing.

The series’ melodrama is almost offset by the movie’s visual style. Almost.

If you want to start getting into Evangelion, this is not, I repeat, not the place to start.

Shyamalan takes a clichéd premise and turns it into one of the creepiest ruminations on faith and God you’re likely to find.

In some ways, this album is an amalgamation of everything that Martin has done before.

This album shows why lovesliescrushing are at the head of the beautiful noise scene.

The music lends itself quite nicely to introspective moments and activities.

This may be one of the most beautiful things Burnt Toast Vinyl has released to date.

The band’s first album as a duo and a resounding return to their peak form.

Havalina returns to Tooth & Nail Records with another unique and delightfully quirky album.

A blend of jazz, trip-hop, and downtempo music that stood out from everything else I heard at this year’s Cornerstone.

Each of these songs feels convincingly, painfully convicted.

One great martial arts fight after another as well as a good message about tolerance and respecting your spouse’s culture.

Royal City has moved from being a band that hinted at greatness with their debut to an act that fully realized that potential in one enormous step.

A sometimes humorous, but more often scathing look at the Serb-Bosnian conflict.

Donnie Yen’s directorial efforts are so self-assured, so blatant, and so… bad.

Nathan Amundson has quietly established himself as a singer/songwriter to watch.

As a fan of all things drone-y, blissed out, and dreampop, this one hit the sweet spot.

Contains some of Jackie’s most insane stunts and martial artistry as well as plenty of cheese and schlock.

AMP has indeed changed their sound, and not managed to totally disappoint in doing it.
