Directed by Ilya Naishuller and starring Sharlto Copley and Haley Bennett, “Hardcore Henry” combines its innovative technical framework with a story that, while bizarre and sometimes discombobulated, holds surprising thematic resonance.
"Horace and Pete" is undoubtedly Louis CK's best work. The show is clearly the brainchild of its creator and lead actor, sporting the off-kilter drama and minimalism part and parcel to any Louis CK production.
These shows utilize the freedom of internet television to construct less traditional, more centered narratives than would be found on broadcast television. “Catastrophe” is probably the fastest paced of them all.
“Outlander” continues to be one of the most compelling shows on television, with a romance for the ages, complex characters and compelling political intrigue. Though the audience knows the outcome of Claire and Jamie’s efforts within the first minute of the show, the journey up to that point remains riveting.
“Junk” was a risky move in its conception. Anthony Gonzalez’s narrative was inspired by 70’s and 80’s television, specifically “Punky Brewster” and “Who’s the Boss.” The goal was to explore nostalgic fantasies through these roots, but those roots don’t belong to the generation of M83 listeners.
Telltale Game’s “Minecraft: Story Mode” released its fifth and final episode on March 29. Unlike most of Telltale’s other games, the fifth episode included a different story than the previous four.
Scottish post-rocker band Mogwai has long been a genre mainstay, and it continues its record of consistency with its latest album, “Atomic.” The album was produced as a soundtrack to the BBC’s new Hiroshima documentary, “Atomic: Living in Dread and Promise.”
When the two artists announced they were working on a joint EP, much was expected. With “TWENTY88,” however, neither of them brings much innovation to the table.
For weeks now, “The Walking Dead” has been releasing sub-par episodes, expecting viewers to stick it out in hopes of a dramatic reveal in the finale, “Last Day on Earth.”
Last week’s episode of HBO’s “Girls” is hard to follow up, but this week’s installment, “Hello Kitty,” does an admirable job of it.
“Next Thing” feels like exactly that. It is a push in the same direction of Frankie Cosmos’s creator Greta Kline’s previous work — it even recycles some old songs — but the trouble is the April 1 release feels too much like a checklist of chores for Kline.
The University drama department's production of "The Arctic Circle (and a recipe for Swedish pancakes)" opens this weekend at the Helms Theatre.
Moon Taxi, a burgeoning indie-rock band, played at Jefferson Theater last weekend. For many concert-goers, however, the highlight of the night was the opening band, The Lonely Biscuits.
Spectrum Theater’s opening night of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” had a near-full house, a well-deserved achievement since the show was so dynamic.
Husband and wife Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano of JOHNNYSWIM are bringing their hit songs “Home” and “Diamonds” to the Jefferson on April 24. The two met in Nashville initially at a coffee shop and then again at church.
“God’s Not Dead 2” stresses the importance of free speech in America, but, ironically, only caters to only one point of view.
“Archer” used to be a brilliant show about a freelance secret agency for the better part of its first four seasons, before starting to grow stale with recycled storylines and overly-troped characters.
2008 marked mach speed on the Arctic Monkeys’ ride to fame. With the fastest selling debut album of all time, followed by two successful records, frontman Alex Turner was in the eye of the storm.
Nashville has produced another gem that balances Southern charm in an East Coast outfit. Elroy Love calls Georgia home, but the bright lights of Nashville roped the trio in and led to their debut release, “Glitch Cowboy.”
Explosions in the Sky has been at the very forefront of the resurgence in instrumental rock since their release of “How Strange, Innocence” in 2000. Since that debut, the group has built an extensive following thanks to their reverb-soaked guitar riffs and narrative LPs.
