MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Guest’ Is A Fun, Throwback Thriller That You Need To See
October 15th, 2014 Tyler Hanan Film: The Guest Starring: Dan Stevens, Maika Monroe Directed by: Adam Wingard The Guest. So modest a title for so boisterous a film. What sounds like it could be a locked room (or house) slasher from Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett (You’re Next, V/H/S) turns into a big, stylish thriller that throws back to classics both you and […]

Run The Jewels And Zack De La Rocha Command You “Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)”
October 13th, 2014 Tyler Hanan Run The Jewels continue to leave us awestruck, an unstoppable force yet to make a misstep. Rage Against The Machine’s Zack de la Rocha hopped onto the runaway train for “Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)” and he didn’t slow down the machine a bit. His voice, chopped and looped, serves as the track’s […]

Pharrell Teams With Edgar Wright For “Gust Of Wind” Video
October 8th, 2014 Tyler Hanan This isn’t the Edgar Wright movie you were looking for, but it’s all you’re apt to get for a while. Pharrell enlisted the renowned Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim, and NOT Ant-Man director for his latest music video. It won’t blow you away with clever quick cutting or mind-blowing imagination, but it’s certainly a gorgeous video with some […]

You Need To See The Trailer For ‘The Mule,’ The Story Of One Man’s Refusal To Poo
October 3rd, 2014 Tyler Hanan And you thought Tusk had a silly premise. The Mule is the story of a man who, under suspicion of being a drug mule, is detained and placed under observation for seven days. We then see numerous shady folks maneuvering to manipulate our intentionally-constipated hero, including a gleefully mean-spirited Hugo Weaving and a perfectly menacing John Noble. Never before […]

Watch The Title Sequence For Showtime’s ‘The Affair,’ Featuring A New Fiona Apple Song
October 3rd, 2014 Tyler Hanan The Affair couldn’t have done much better with regards to their opening credits. Regardless of the show’s quality, it can always boast that, somehow, they got Fiona Apple to agree to be the one who takes viewers into the first frames of every episode. That episode could be terrible, but you know what? At least […]

Owen Is Releasing An Album Of ‘Other People’s Songs’ – Listen To The First One
October 1st, 2014 Tyler Hanan There’s a big batch of emo/Kinsella/American Football news from Brooklyn Vegan, with at least one bit of information for any fan of those things. The emo revival isn’t real anymore. Or, more accurately, it isn’t really a revival anymore. Emo is just here, popular and newsworthy. Owen, one of Mike Kinsella‘s many projects (see also: […]

Steven Soderbergh Rescored ‘Raiders Of The Lost Ark,’ And It’s In Black And White
September 23rd, 2014 Tyler Hanan Why? Because staging. The “retired” (from film, in that word’s very strictest definiton) Steven Soderbergh has been hard at work on another singular, Soderbergh-y project. He’s put the result, Raiders as you’ve never seen it, up on his website “for educational purposes only.” As a means of studying staging, Soderbergh has taken the Steven Spielberg classic (“this filmmaker forgot more […]
