Reviews of Music, Movies, Anime & More

This is a far, far better film than any avowed “B” flick has the right to be.

Dolls is a bittersweet, tragic film.

This is one of those “Dude, you won’t believe what I just saw” sort of movies.

These songs resemble a musical patchwork cloak, with influences stitched together from various sources.

Taking in “1957” is like listening to all of the schizophrenia of “1956” condensed into only half the time.

With obvious nods to groups like Vigilantes of Love, Over the Rhine, and Counting Crows, Set On Edge’s music has its base in rock n’ roll.

It looks at all of the ways that something as necessary as food can hold such importance in people’s lives and culture.

My Education’s greatest asset is their ability to balance their quiet and loud sides, pouring equal time and detail into both.

Folklore further cements 16 Horsepower’s reputation as one of the most original and vital acts in the world today.

After stuff like ‘The One’ and ‘Kiss of the Dragon,’ it was nice to see something as outrageous as ‘The Tai Chi Master.’

Raft of Dead Monkeys is one band that must be heard at some point in this fruitful life of ours.

I strongly recommend this album to anyone who would like to ease into bluegrass or folk music.

The Billions have another album of unabashed pop full of clever arrangements, simple yet poignant lyrics, and joy.

Music this simple, yet powerfully affecting, does not get made very often.

As a martial arts epic, Musa has it all: beautiful cinematography, solid performances, thrilling action, and a moving storyline.
