Massive Attack and Tom Waits - "Boots on the Ground"

I've thus far been mostly unmoved by the well-meaning but strained protest songs that have been written this year in response to Trump's myriad crimes and indecencies. But this Massive Attack and Tom Waits collaboration is just the right amount of snarling and sour. Maybe it works so well because it was actually written a while ago.

'Lee Cronin's The Mummy' Review

I liked Lee Cronin's Evil Dead Rise. But I did not care for Lee Cronin's The Mummy. I explain why over at Screen International. 

'Lorne' Review

My Interview With Werner Herzog, Director of 'Cave of Forgotten Dreams'

Cave of Forgotten Dreams is back in theaters, now in IMAX. It seemed like the perfect time to talk to Werner Herzog, who gave me his thoughts on art, 3D, ghosts and albino mutant crocodiles. Always enjoy speaking with him: You can read our conversation here.

The Grierson & Leitch Podcast: 'The Drama,' 'Outcome' and 'Exit 8'

After a week off, we're back! And we're here to talk about how terrible Outcome is. Also, we differ on The Drama and get lost in Exit 8. You can hear all our thoughts down below.

Anybody who lives in Los Angeles knows it rains here. In fact, it's supposed to rain a decent amount this weekend. Invariably, when we get precipitation, someone will mention Albert Hammond's 1972 hit. So let's give it a listen. 

(Also felt appropriate to post this song the weekend that his son, Albert Hammond, Jr., plays Coachella with his reunited band the Strokes.)

'Outcome' Review

So much talent in front of and behind the camera is wasted in Outcome, Jonah Hill's unfunny dark comedy about cancel culture in Hollywood. I dissect the corpse over at the A.V. Club.
