Brimstone, Dutch writer/director Martin Koolhoven’s passion project, is a two-and-a-half hour long Western/horror movie that was seven years in the making. Although calling it a Western might be stretching things. It happens to be set in the Old West, but that’s about the gist of it.
20 Years after the original movie came out, T2 sees director Danny Boyle reuniting with Renton, Sick Boy and the rest of Edinburgh’s finest. The movie – just like the original – starts off with Renton (Ewan McGregor) running. Except this time it’s on a treadmill. It’s not the only time Boyle throws in little winks to the original movie, even going as far as inserting snippets of the original film.
I’m not sure the howmanieth movie this is in the Underworld franchise and frankly, I don’t care. We once again get to follow Vampire death dealer Selene (Kate Beckinsale) as she kicks some Lycan butt as well as the butts of the Vampires that betrayed her. I’m sure there is more to the story buried deep in this mess, but again… I really can’t be bothered to figure it out.
There seems to be a new trend in Hollywood where new, promising directors get picked to direct big studio movies instead of the household names. Think of Colin Trevorrow who got to follow up Safety Not Guaranteed with Jurassic World. Or Gareth Edwards who got his start with the low-budget drama Monsters and then got to make the very big budget flick Godzilla. And now you can add Jordan Vogt-Roberts to that list.
Chicago’s Ratboys already left a favorable impression with their first album, 2015’s “AOID”.
On their first album for SideOneDumy, Rozwell Kid keep doing what they have been doing on their past three albums.

This was, without a doubt, the most enjoyable album listening experience I’ve had in years. I’m not exaggerating.
In the semi-enjoyable romcom ‘About A Boy’, Hugh Grant’s character realizes that dating single mothers is the way to go. Turns out that being in Single Mothers isn’t quite as enjoyable.
I think it's fair to say we can all use some more Rozwell Kid in our lives. Especially now that the idiots have taken over and you find yourself reaching for the Xanax every time you turn on the news.
Rotzak is a Belgian band with a name that stands out. That’s because ‘rotzak’ means ‘bastard’ in Dutch. Or ‘rotten ballsack’ if you want go for a literal translation. It’s not a very nice name.
