The Kills - Blood Pressures

(04/07/11 8:00am)

Blood Pressures, the Kills’ fourth studio album, could be described as the culmination of lead singer Alison Mosshart’s musical endeavors from the past few years. 2008’s Midnight Boom, the pop-leaning, playful third LP from the Kills, combined dance-punk influences with Mosshart’s sexually charged persona, creating a more fully-formed brand of the garage-rock minimalism of their first two releases. After releasing Boom, Mosshart supplied the vocals for supergroup the Dead Weather on two albums before reuniting with Kills guitarist Jamie Hince.

Wiz Khalifa - Rolling Papers

(03/31/11 8:00am)

According to Wiz Khalifa, hip-hop’s latest weed-rap sensation, the title of his third album, Rolling Papers, doesn’t just allude to smoking weed. Instead, the Pittsburgh-based Wiz is trying to convince us that the name is a threefold reference to his stoner persona, his 2009 emancipation from Warner Brothers Records and the album’s freestyled, organic writing process. Unfortunately, that convoluted explanation is only a pretense to this lethargic follow-up to the 2010 mixtape Kush & Orange Juice.

Gnomeo and Juliet

(02/17/11 10:00am)

There is something inherently charming about garden gnomes—their diminutive stature, their shiny, pointy hats, not to mention their flair for finding travel tickets at reasonable rates. So it is no surprise that these inanimate lawn decorations ended up as the protagonists of Gnomeo and Juliet, an animated take on the classic Shakespearean drama, but redone with warring gnomes.

Love and Other Drugs

(12/02/10 10:00am)

Almost every interview that Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway have given to promote their new movie, Love and Other Drugs, has revolved around a single question: “So, how was filming the nude scenes?” And while the sex scenes are certainly abundant, they are also useful—they obscure its overused plot devices and saccharine scenes that we’ve come to expect from romcoms.
