The Brown Note Movie Review

Argylle (2024) Movie Rview

Director Matthew Vaughn seems to inhabit this middle ground between Guy Ritchie and Zack Snyder, for better or worse. As much of a fan of Bryce Dallas Howard and Sam Rockwell as I am (both excellent casting choices here) this post-Kingsmen spy caper, has all the hallmarks of Synder's over delivery and poor execution.

Beyoncé Sucks - Taylor Swift Vs Beyoncé

1. Beyoncé Is the most overrated recording artist this century, an average two bit hack put together in a laboratory and the blandest mass produced corporate product since the Big Mac

2. The only reason she recorded a modern pop country album, is her fragile, Princess Diana style ego, cannot handle Taylor Swift getting far more attention than she does

RIDE - Interplay (2024) Album Review

The underappreciated Shoe-gave titans third comeback album is by far the best. The most urgent, dynamic, cohesive, melodically memorable and impactful of their trio of post come-back releases and their best album since Going Blank Again.

Road House (2024) Movie Review

Arguably the most important cultural artifact since the Rosetta Stone.

American Fiction (2023) Film Review

One of this years major Oscar contenders is, I'm sorry, a massive let down. Two very different parallel films, that don't work together, shoved into one. A handsomely produced and acted rich people family drama occupies 80% of the film and is ordinary and boring, whereas the far more more interesting satire side of the movie is totally undeveloped.

Dune: Part Two (2024) Film Review

The only 100% true review of this movie online today.

Schoolboy Q - Blue Lips (2024) Album Review

The return of Schoolboy Q heralds back to an era of rap, that saw long form projects that were high art and not just gaming streaming charts, and his best work yet, one of the albums of the year.

Yard Act - Where's My Utopia? (2024) Album Review

The near excellent second album from the UK post-punk alumni is self aware to a fault.

Hurray for the Riff Raff - The Past Is Still Alive (2024) Album Review

One of the early contenders for album of the year, outstanding lyrics and voice - perhaps a little more variety in the instrumentation and arrangements would've pushed it over the edge, but still fabulous.

Poor Things (2023) Film Review

Yorgos Lanthimos  is well established as at the very top of directors internationally and one of the best cross-overs from foreign art-hours to English language "big pictures", with artistry and acclaim only increasing, a rare feat. Poor Things, probably the second most successful film at this years Oscars is worthy of the acclaim and one of the most imaginative films of the era. If I want to nit pick, the middle act is far too long and repetitive and the characters a little superficial.
