The film doesn’t just rely on the romance between the main characters, it also deals with the relationship between Maddy (Amandla Stenberg) and her strict and controlling mother (Anika...
“Slowdive” is the final act in what the band would liken to a cinematic representation of their musical journey. Fitting, that their debut EP bore their name as well, as if to anticipate the climactic return of a self-titled bookend release. All the more fitting that after 22 years, Slowdive (like My Bloody Valentine did with “mbv”) re-enters the...
It’s 1996. “Resident Evil” is out. It creates this genre called survival horror. Basically, you’re scared and nobody can help you. People love it, it sells like mad.

Fact: Seeing King Kong duke it out with other cryptids is fun. Like, really fun (and that’s coming from a pretentious film snob whose favorite films are arthouse dramas my mom falls asleep to). But as fun as the action sequences in “Kong: Skull Island” may be, the film is ultimately another unnecessary, uninspired big-budget franchise film that substitutes...
Following 2014’s critically acclaimed “The London Sessions,” Mary J. Blige released her 13th album, “Strength of a Woman” on April 28. Rewritten following her divorce with now ex-husband and manager Kendu Isaacs, Blige’s new album reflects on the separation.
In the lead single “Thick of It,” Blige doesn’t hold back on the emotional stress that her recent divorce had caused her. Her consistent...
Loud, excited chatter, the crackling of embers and flashing lights filled the air. There was a brief moment at the Homecoming bonfire this year when I was alone, waiting for friends to get back. Not so subtly, there was music blaring from the DJ tent and speakers around the lawn as well. As I stood alone waiting, a remix...
From the first point that I saw the giant antenna on top of the tiny building near the dorms blasting radio waves to the masses, I knew what I wanted to do.
