Happy Endings by Old Dominion
Happy Endings by Old Dominion
2017 | Country
The music is smarter and hotter than the lyrics on Happy Endings, though the latter have the odd genius metaphor, too. Even as an anthropological exercise in redneck seduction, this is a fascinating album — maybe not brilliant, but fascinating
Critic - Anthony Easton
Original Score: 7 out of 10

The Martian (2015)
The Martian (2015)
2015 | Sci-Fi
Ridley Scott has managed to take a simple story of a man thought lost in space and turn it into a heroic adventure of survival, drama and emotion. Easily within my top 3 of the year

Ingrid Goes West (2017)
Ingrid Goes West (2017)
2017 | Comedy
Ingrid Goes West heavily explores obsession, stalker behavior, and the need to be noticed, both on social media and in real life. It also touches on the duality of online personas versus the ones we lead in real life.

Ingrid Goes West (2017)
2017 | Comedy
Overall, Spicer has gathered a fantastic ensemble of actors, their chemistry leaping off the screen and making for a hugely enjoyable watch. For every Instagram persona, there’s always much more than meets the eye, and Ingrid proves exactly that.

The Only Living Boy In New York (2017)

The Only Living Boy In New York is well worth watching; it reveals how lies and insecurities unravel us and how truth puts us back together again—with a few scars to show we’ve truly lived.

Everything Now  by Arcade Fire
Everything Now by Arcade Fire
2017 | Alternative, Indie
So view Everything Now as a glass half empty due to its inconsistency or as a glass half full of standout singles. You won’t be able to ignore it though, which, in today’s crowded musical landscape, is triumph in itself
Critic- Jim Beviglia

The game looked like a very grim,zombie-killing game. It was actually was a ridiculously impressive and immersive strategy game.There are a few technicalities,but overall there's nothing out there that gives you such a feeling of fight-or-flight

It wasn't quite what i was expecting, being a massive fan of the musical. It's definitely not as light and fun as the musical - it's a lot darker and deeper. However I did enjoy it as a standalone novel. The twists from the original story are so clever and its much more emotional and also quite political.

While lacking in the charm department, VR Karts captures the fun and chaos of kart-racing really well in virtual reality.

Hydrograd by Stone Sour
Hydrograd by Stone Sour

After listening to this a few times I have realized I enjoy it more each time. This album is definitely a grower and it won't make fans happy that were hoping for a return to the self titled album days.
