The words that define “Dune: Part Two” are scale and weight. Like the first “Dune” or “Oppenheimer,” this movie demands to be seen in a theater where the sound shakes your seat and you feel it every time the music swells.
Black Plastic sold a variety of records, with new releases from artists like Taylor Swift to older, used vinyl. On top of selling records, the store also held an early listening party for Mitski’s album “The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We.”
Without music, TikTok is basically pointless. Sure, there are other uses of the platform, but dances, lip-sync videos and other music-related trends are the heart and soul of the platform.
Within days of starting this show, I was telling everyone about how this show is a masterpiece of character study and cinematography. The music matches every year of these characters’ lives. And don’t get me started on the colors — you will blink once and be transported to a whole different mood.
If a show doesn’t hit the same level of success as “Stranger Things,” Netflix doesn’t deem it as being worth keeping on the platform.
Normally, I love a fun, objectively bad movie, especially when it has horror undertones. But this is one of the few exceptions. “Lisa Frankenstein” is almost too weird, and not in a good way.
Throughout history, a frequent trope in entertainment has been the romantic relationship between a teacher and a student. With the release of “Miller’s Girl,” a film starring Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman, the conversation on these relationships being featured within entertainment is once again prominent.
This entire debacle feels like both a money grab and a way to tarnish Goth and West’s characters as well as A24’s reputation. It’s not an uncommon occurrence for people to sue celebrities in hopes of getting some cash.
Seeing the layout of the classes required to be a music major and the conversations about the division's difficulty can be intimidating to an incoming student. What makes the course load of the Miami Music Department manageable is the community present throughout students’ journeys.
The seven documentary films showcased not only student films, but also projects by Miami professors, featuring both teasers of longer films and finished short films.
In the spirit of all things mushy gushy, I’ve put together a list of what I believe to be the cutest love songs. A personalized playlist makes for both a cost efficient and heartfelt gift to give to your Valentine. Feel free to add these tracks to your playlist.
Maybe I have a problem, but I find myself analyzing potential romantic relationships in films that technically don’t fall under the romance genre. So, I present to you my list of “romance movies that aren’t technically supposed to be romantic movies.” Enjoy them without the feeling of being completely cheesed out.
The Hugo Awards have been a staple in the world of science fiction and fantasy for the last 71 years, since its founding in 1953. Notable authors that have won their prize for Best Novel include Isaac Asimov, Ursula K. Le Guin and J.K. Rowling.
Many lessons can be gleaned from the marketing of “Argylle”: Rapid-paced trailers that are more focused on actors than the movie’s distinctiveness don’t always work; the cost of oversaturating the market isn’t always made up in sales; high-budget movies may need to become a thing of the past; don’t over rely on phrases and images for marketing; and so on.
But even on the loudest, most musical night of the year, everybody tuned in and listened to the times Swift spoke — and once again, the queen of surprises ruled the Grammys in a way that nobody would ever expect.
Through Letterboxd, you’re able to see what the entire community is watching, its thoughts on certain films, what people want to watch, etc.
Thanks to schedule changes by studios in the wake of the writers’ and actors’ strikes, 2024 is pretty light overall on butts-in-seats movies. Reissues like “Dune” certainly help though, and I expect we’ll see more anniversary-type movies trying to fill the space.
A new year means a plethora of new media: albums, films, shows, books and more. TMS’s entertainment section has compiled a list of what we’re looking forward to this year.
A wonderful twist on the original film and the Broadway musical, “Mean Girls” is a perfect, must-see musical comedy for anyone who wants a fun theater experience.
