MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Runner’ Won’t Win Any Awards
August 11th, 2015 James Shotwell Film: The Runner Starring: Nicolas Cage, Peter Fonda Directed by: Austin Stark Despite a strong performance from Nicolas Cage, The Runner fails to capture the tension and excitement of political turmoil in an original light. The Runner is a rare breed of film that places fictional characters amidst real world tragedies to tell a made-up […]

American Opera Covering Riff Raff Is What Dreams Are Made Of
August 7th, 2015 James Shotwell This just might be the greatest video on the internet today. American Opera has spent the entirety of his summer on the Vans Warped Tour, and each week along the way he has released an acoustic cover of material from other various Warped Tour artists.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Fantastic Four’ Is A Moviegoer’s Nightmare
August 7th, 2015 James Shotwell Film: Fantastic Four Starring: Miles Teller, Kate Mara Directed by: Josh Trank Despite a strong cast and iconic source material, Josh Trank’s take on Fantastic Four is one of the worst superhero films ever made. The story is simple enough. After being discovered at his high school science fair, Reed Richards is enrolled in a […]

UTG PREMIERE: Thundercloud Kid – “Bad News for Blue Eyes”
July 30th, 2015 James Shotwell It’s never too late in the day for a great music premiere, right? We have been outspoken about our love for the upstate New York music scene for as long as I can remember at this point. It seems like every band that comes out of Buffalo or the surrounding area not only has something […]

Fashioncore Is Alive & Well: Atreyu Share “Long Live” Video
July 20th, 2015 James Shotwell Remember the glory days of new millennium post-hardcore? I’m talking about the period between 2004 and 2008 when Victory Records pretty much set the bar for quality in every variation of ‘heavy’ alternative music. There were so many great bands then, and only a select few remain today, with Silverstein arguably being the most successful […]

July 14th, 2015 James Shotwell A few days removed from the frenzy of Comic-Con, Fox has released the second and potentially final trailer for the upcoming reboot of Fantastic Four.

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Wolfpack’ Must Be Seen To Be Believed
July 11th, 2015 James Shotwell Film: The Wolfpack Starring: The Angulo Brothers Directed By: Crystal Moselle I don’t know that I have ever felt about a documentary the way I do for Crystal Moselle’s directorial debut, The Wolfpack. It’s a deeply moving look at the human experience as viewed through the eyes of a Lower Manhattan family whose only working […]

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Gallows’ Might Be The Worst Film Of Summer 2015
July 10th, 2015 James Shotwell Film: The Gallows Starring: Reese Mishler, Pfeifer Brown Directed by: Travis Cluff, Chris Lofing 2015 may be the year I finally stop defending found footage/POV storytelling in cinema. It’s been a good run, more or less, but after witnessing the hundredth-plus remix of the same twelve ideas presented with little to no original twist whatsoever […]

The Dear Hunter Impress With New Song, “Waves”
July 9th, 2015 James Shotwell Oh, Casey Crescenzo. I know I am engaged to be married in under a year’s time, but if I could run away with the music he creates with The Dear Hunter I would leave my gal at the alter without a second thought. I think she would understand, but even if she didn’t – oh […]
