Read MoreThis is the kind of movie that, on paper, sounds like a million bucks to a studio. An old-fashioned romance between two box-office powerhouses shot expensively. But that can't even explain just what the hell Passengers is even about.
Read MoreWhy is every prestige science-fiction drama inevitably compared to the last? Arrival just landed on Friday and already the din about its comparison to Interstellar is feverish. Apparently, spacecraft, time concepts, and love (“Love, TARS, love!”) is all it takes these days.
Read MoreThey’re not my seven-year-old self’s Rangers, though. They’re brooding outcasts! They’re witty! They’re diverse! They’re The Breakfast Club on steroids (ok, the diversity thing doesn't apply here...)
Read MoreThere's little chance we see a musical genius of Prince's level for a very long time, that's for sure. Questions will be indeed rampant about how his death could have happened, but there will be no questions at all about what a vital musical legacy was left by the Purple One himself.

Read MoreI have become a fan of South Park lately. The joyful upraised finger of its profane offensiveness was the soundtrack to much of my kids’ upbringing.

Read More#BackToTheFutureDay came just in time for me, too. Days before, a galaxy a long time ago, far, far away, debuted its final trailer. Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit the airwaves, er, interweb, er, was made publicly consumable, to a fever pitch.
Read More...with The Bootleg Series Vol. 12: The Cutting Edge 1965-66, that pivotal peak in Dylan's sprawling, tremendous career is laid out bare. It's a journey that takes Dylan from a curiosity of the media to a near celebrity with interviewers hounding him en masse.
Read MoreThe Knick took a big, bloody pair of Finochietto retractors and cracked it open. It tore out the heart and didn’t even bother putting it on ice.

Read MoreHow can Jack Reacher be elevated to the level of mythos, to the level of a superhero, unless his shadowy nemesis is equally formidable? You can’t stick Tom Cruise opposite a charmer with a smooth voice — Jack Reacher needs an appropriate foil.
