the problem with this film is the ending. building up to the final episode I had a sense of dread. Then the film finished and I thought "hang on, that can't be right".

this tell anyone just about all they need to know about Record Store Day

"While this isn’t definitive proof that gaming improves your navigational ability"

I like a good thriller and the casting is legit interesting here, although with Malin Akerman in something so obviously genre-y you do kinda expect things to take a Childrens Hospital turn at any moment

I don't know about you guys but I sure want a middle aged Australian making a show about the birth of hip-hop culture in New York in the 70s.
