Burning - if you can hang with the glacial pace that is painstakingly sustained until the last scene, and the ambiguity that keeps the narrative free-floating between a thriller and a social/class drama without fully committing to either, this is absolutely exquisite. The dude from Walking Dead rea...

Surprisingly, even though I'm usually a huge Coens fanboy, I had mixed feelings on BBS - loved the Liam Neeson and the Tom Waits segments, but those are the only ones that felt fully satisfying the James Franco and Tim Blake Nelson segments were funny but left me wanting something more from the idea...

Anyone peep Narcos Mexico? 3 eps in, it passes the time nicely and I'm enjoying the story of the Mexican weed trade evolving and coming together, but the cop side of the story bores me and feels like a waste of Pena's talents. Worth noting that the cop parts turned me off the previous series entire...

2 for me

lol c'mon now, I own digital versions of pretty much his stuff and I haven't paid for a single one yet

ahh it's just the one song from Dumpmeister

Fud off that new tape has the best Mach verse I've heard this year.

this is exactly what I want from them

I haven't read the article about the edits but I actually kinda wish this was longer to give more room for character development. The movie rushes through a bunch of events without spending enough time with the characters imo, which is forgivable considering how much they're trying to cover while st...

Outlaw King - Perfectly cromulent medieval epic, mostly by the numbers - here's your handsome liberator forced to protect his people, here's your evil king and his emasculated sadistic son, here's the strong woman and colorful henchmen who will support your hero on his journey, etc etc. But the prod...

He's a one-trick-pony, but I think that trick still has mileage. Stick to shortish albums, get Daringer to do the beats, and get people to guest who fit the sound a little better - not Lloyd Banks or Elzhi. Slapbox is actually probably the closest thing to something from Reject 2 and that's persona...

i'm with R4R here too, it feels like Conway lost his momentum and his stuff doesn't really grab me that much any more. I don't even anticipate his releases anymore, although I still check in when they drop. Benny is the only one from this crew that I still really look forward to hearing from.

yea that is a little surprising, Le Samourai would've fit this kind of classic canon-heavy list very neatly

it's very good, Curren$y almost sounds as good as he was back around the turn of the decade and Gibbs is top form

Damn this bitch took some bold turns in ep4, I'm impressed they went there

it's an awesomely suspenseful pile of thriller cliches that i'm sure will hinge on some twist that makes no sense and is full of plot holes, 3 or 4 eps in and i'm pretty hooked too

I haven't been too into most of the GRX stuff from this year but this is pretty great

Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade - Never actually seen this one before. For some I always assumed it was another actiony scifi anime about tank robot cops or something, didn't realize it was a tense and subtle character-driven spy drama. So it wasn't quite the light viewing I was looking for, but it's is ...

Dark Lo has a tape dropping with V-Don at some point soon, looking forward to that one

The frustration is understandable I guess, but it's partly due to their own marketing. The movie was presented to the world this as a phantasmagorical wild ride of violence and trippy visuals and Cage being crazy with a battle axe, but now they want it seen as a poetic work of art?

HfSisHrUTLM dick on swole This turned out even more violent and gory than the director's previous effort, Headshot and that's saying something. yea this was better than Headshot, best fight-oriented action I've seen since Raid 2. Might be some of the best action choreography done this century. I ga...

interesting

wait the leak is different then the official release?

Muggs did mention that there was a bonus track on the Vinyl version, maybe that's where the different tracks come in here.

Glad you liked BuyBust, I loved it. The fighting is definitely kinda sloppy, but I didn't mind that, the energy was there. The superior characterization and the way the movie uses space and builds tension and comments on the drug war make up for it anyway. I want to see more by this director, he did...

I think the trappy songs are a fun experiment here but they're novelties. And of all the stylistic experiments he's attempted this year, those are probably my least favorite. I don't think either those beats or the style of rapping are favorable to what Marci does best, especially Caught a Lick. He ...

Yea Scorpio wants to be LeCarre way more than it wants to be The Mechanic, and it lands kinda in the middle without quite working correctly in either direction. It's cool for the people involved but def nowhere near the top of what they could do.

how do you guys feel about the two trappy songs in the second half?

Landed about in the same place as the rest of your guys on Apostle. A little too long and slow in the first half, although there isn't much in there that felt like overtly dead weight. Loved most of the second half, even though it could've used a little more streamlining and I would've liked to see ...
