A timely episode examined the impact of policing on the black community. A week after the George Floyd verdict, All American Season 3 Episode 11 tackled the difficult subject.

Kanye West has the Midas touch … a pair of shoes he wore during his performance at the 2008 Grammys just sold for a record 7-figure price.

April 26, 2021 1:58 pm By Nadia Vella The indie space is always quite exciting for new releases as it typically unveils opportunities that aren’t found in other spaces – the most notable recently has certainly been within gaming as indie titles are capturing a huge and growing audience, particularly in the mobile space with
When Regina King confidently strutted her way through Union Station at the top of this year’s Oscars broadcast with candy-colored movie-style credits popping up behind her, I got excited that this year’s show might actually be different. And indeed, it was… but that’s not necessarily a compliment. Yes, Sunday’s Oscar broadcast on ABC comes with

On Sept. 4, 2002, Kelly Clarkson won the first-ever season of American Idol; today, she’s a music superstar, known for both her pop and country tunes. While that Idol win is certainly one of Clarkson’s biggest career moments, there are a few others that deserve a call out as well. Clarkson’s collaborations with stars such as Reba McEntire, Jason
With the release of GTFO‘s Rundown 005 coming up in a few days, 10 Chambers felt the need to get some hype going (or in their words, “kill your time until then”) by releasing a new podcast with Simon Viklund, Composer and Narrative Director of GTFO, interviewing some of the voice actors from the game.
Lena Headey‘s bringing her son back to her California kingdom … a court just granted her permission to bring him over from the U.K. to live under Cersei’s rule.

The universe is riddled with supermassive black holes that could actually be wormholes or tunnels that communicate with parallel universes, according to a hypothesis that is gaining momentum among astrophysicists.

The last three Oscars were presented in the following order: Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Actor (an odd thing given that Best Picture is typically last).

Fejká, a music director and DJ, has added his touch to the melodious song “Amarcord” by vibraphonist Pascal Schumacher.

Talking about the rework Fejká said: “I was looking for a specific part that’s
Kip Moore‘s new song “Good Life” comes with more grit than fans are used to, and that’s saying something. Hard-earned stories and raw arrangements are nothing new for the “She’s Mine” singer. With Jay Joyce on board as producer (and with Dan Couch as Moore’s co-writer), however, Moore’s country-rock becomes country-grunge. ”Good Life” presents a soulful, distorted sound that

The box office is officially back, thanks to Warner Bros., and what we’ve learned is that we have a very abstract view behind a film’s release.

There’s nothing like a beautiful wedding to take the pressure off of everything else. For most of When Calls the Heart Season 8 Episode 10, the focus was on Florence and Ned, and even though they weren’t finished with their pre-wedding jitters, the change of pace felt like a thick veil had been lifted.

“Being a fan of Dennis Lehane, George Pelecanos, and Walter Mosley, I would certainly label Andrew Cotto as a comparable read to these luminaries in terms of style, characterization, and the depiction of life in a tough neighborhood.” (Raven Crime Reads) “Cotto’s lyrical prose reads like Raymond Chandler taking dictation from Walt Whitman.” (Publishers Weekly)
A strange thing has happened since Justin Moore last released new music. Words like “traditionalist” and “conservative” have become supercharged, almost divisive descriptors. A liberal-leaning country music consumer might be quick to heap all of his or her fears and opposing ideologies onto an artist that identifies as such. It’s the equivalent to the opposite: labeling anyone
While it’s safe to say that Capcom probably will never top their TV ad for the original Resident Evil 2, they can try with an entirely different route with Resident Evil Village.
