Recorded August 1st, 2025. Brothers of Metal are the epic power metal warriors straight from Falun, Sweden, armed with guitars, myths, and a hefty dose of self-irony. With three singers, bombastic choirs, and anthems like "The Other Son of Odin" and "Berserkir," they celebrate Norse gods, battles, and legends in such an exaggerated way that it all comes across as genuinely serious. Setlist: "Fimbulvinter", "Prophecy of Ragnarök", "Njord", "Ride of the Valkyries", "Flight of the Ravens", "Hel", "Yggdrasil", "To the Skies and Beyond", "Defenders of Valhalla"
'Free Guy' combines classic Disney (a white heteronormative love story), exploration of popular video games and the culture around them, and Ryan Reynolds adult humor in the best way to make a super fun family flick.
This HBO mini-series asks why a young white man turned to violence and finds no easy answers. But why do we only ask questions about certain kinds of killers?
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
It’s the most loving tribute to cinema and to Ingmar Bergman, set in world that feels so habitable that I felt like only re-watching this for eternity, because of how inviting it looks and feels.
Initially feeling like a passionate group having a bit of harmless fun with filmmaking, it leads to something sinister enough to leave a mark.
The beating heart of this film is the relationship between Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse.
