Movies

Part of the journey is the end

Avengers: Endgame

Recommended past Richard Devine, Reviews Editor

The UK sadly had to look an extra calendar month for the habitation release of the finale to Marvel's decade-long Infinity Saga, but now information technology'south finally time to jump back in and watch it again. At least another half a dozen times.

If, somehow, you're not aware of what happens, this remains a spoiler-free zone. Just suffice to say it's a mind-bravado iii hours that wraps upwardly the tale of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. You'll laugh, you'll weep, y'all'll be on the border of your seat the whole time.

Out of retirement

John Wick

Recommended past Sean Endicott, news writer

I love dogs. I love action movies. And I dear Keanu Reeves. And so, I don't run across why I shouldn't check out John Wick. I know that I'm late to the political party, but the John Wick trilogy is well-loved by all of my friends, and I meet people referencing it all the fourth dimension online. For those that haven't seen the movie or its trailer, John Wick is a retired assassin who comes out of retirement to avenge the murder of his dog. The dog was a gift from Wick'south dying wife, so information technology'due south quite the tearjerking gear up. Information technology features extremely well-choreographed action sequences and from what I hear, you get to lookout man Keanu Reeves brutally murder folks for a couple of hours which is exactly what I want from an action film.

Y'all got the touch

Transformers: The Movie

Recommended by Jez Corden, Senior Editor

In that location is nothing more quintessentially 80s than Transformers: The Moving picture. No, not that Michael Bay crap, we're talking OG, directed past Nelson Shin. Featuring the incredible vocalism work of Orson Welles, Leonard Nimoy, and Peter Cullen, the original Transformers movie bridges the gaps between two seasons of the cartoon in an epic war across the galaxy.

The planet-devouring robotic entity known as Unicron has wandered into Transformer space, threatening to reduce the galaxy to ruin. A huge battle between the Autobots and Decepticons sees Unicron plunder the remains of fallen bots, creating the mighty Galvatron. This surprisingly nighttime movie typifies how kids shows pushed the boundaries a little farther than today's kids shows. The tone and the hand-animated style feels like a bit of a lost fine art present, and it'south well worth your time if y'all're interested in seeing what propelled the franchise into the mainstream.

Fighting Over Jerusalem

Kingdom of Heaven

Recommended by Rich Edmonds, staff reviewer

Kingdom of Sky from Ridley Scott (the same dude who brought the states the excellent "Alien" movie) takes united states to Jerusalem amidst turmoil in the middle east between western and eastern fronts, namely Christianity and Islam. Afterwards the Male monarch of Jerusalem passes, so also does the fragile peace that maintained order and prevented bloodshed. Information technology'south down to Balian (Orlando Bloom), a blacksmith haunted past his wife's suicide who gets recruited past his male parent to come to the Holy Land. Afterwards inserting himself into the politics of the surface area, information technology'southward downwards to Balian to shield the innocents confronting an invading ground forces. Kingdom of Heaven is a superb motion-picture show that takes a deep dive into the conflicts between religion. Expect amazing visuals and action.

TV

Meth is bad. This show is adept.

Breaking Bad

Recommended by Al Sacco, managing editor

Chances are, you've at least heard of "Breaking Bad." It'south been a while, just it was the chat o' the metropolis for a while there. But if y'all're not familiar with information technology, the prove is about a beaten-down human being in an unhappy union who finds out he has cancer out of nowhere. His response? To sell methamphetamine and go out with a bang, of course. Notwithstanding, information technology just doesn't turn out to be that unproblematic.

As you might look, it'due south a dark bear witness and a fleck of a downer at times. Simply Brian Cranston is unforgettable every bit the antihero Walter White, and Aaron Paul delivers a memorable performance equally his druggie, dumbass sidekick. If you're looking for a practiced binge-lookout man, you could definitely practice worse.

Music

A legend live

Alive at the Austin Outhouse — Blaze Foley

Recommended by Cale Chase, staff writer

Legend goes, for years y'all had to travel to Austin, Texas to find a cassette recording of this live collection of Bonfire Foley's music. It was remastered in 1999 and released for our enjoyment. Evidently this was recorded merely about a calendar month before Foley's untimely death in 1989 … he was murdered while sticking upwards for his friend. Heavy stuff. I get-go discovered Foley while watching old Austin songwriting showcase videos, and since then I haven't been able to go plenty of his poetic lyrics, beautiful guitar playing, and deep voice. If you're at all a fan of old country music, practice yourself a favor and give this one a listen. {.end}
