It’s the middle of the afternoon at a studio in Santa Clarita, and Brandy has just taken a break from shooting a new Lovesac campaign — and singing a countless amount of effortless “da-da-das” that she made up on the spot into a mic before turning and smiling at the sectional behind her.

“I had no idea what I was going to do,” Brandy later admits about the impromptu vocals.

Sunflower Bean move fast. Two years ago, the New York trio turned heads with their sleek, dreamy debut, Human Ceremony. On this past spring’s Twentytwo in Blue, they sounded even cooler and more confident. Now, less than a year later, they’re leaping forward yet again with King of the Dudes, their fantastic new four-track Ep, due out January 25th on Mom + Pop Music.
“Over time, we really just give less of a fuck,” says singer and bassist Julia Cumming. “That’s what rock needs in 2018, and that’s what the Ep is saying.

Between his guerrilla-style filmmaking, ironic sense of humor and explosive rhetoric, Michael Moore has come to be either a folk hero or a political pariah depending on where you sit. And yet hailing from Flint, Mich. has made him uniquely positioned to address a wide swath of America’s woes. You may not agree with any of his politics, but damn if Moore’s movies aren’t entertaining, and no one does agitprop better. This ranking of his theatrical, feature documentaries, including his latest “Fahrenheit 11/9,” will be polarizing, but then his movies are supposed to be.
10. “Slacker Uprising” (2007)
Merely a collection of footage from Michael Moore’s stadium tour ahead of the 2004 Kerry-Bush election, “Slacker Uprising” lacks much of a focus or even a strong thesis. But far worse is how Moore positions himself as a rock star, editing in endless applause breaks of his fans or even multiple...

Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 11/9” (Briarcliff Entertainment) opens Friday in over 1,700 theaters. The release comes in a year that has seen three documentaries gross over $10 million: “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” “Rbg,” and “Three Identical Strangers.” But those successes pale against Moore’s: Three of his films grossed over $30 million at 2018 ticket prices, with “Fahrenheit 9/11” at a staggering $178 million.
As always, Moore is his film’s marketing campaign; he’s gambling that he can recreate the appeal of “Bowling For Columbine” and “9/11″after a decade of seeing his films face declining results. His biggest hits came in the early George W. Bush years, when he was positioned as part of the resistance. (His last two documentaries came while Obama was president.) His last film, “Where To Invade Next,” grossed just $3.8 million in February 2016 — but that was months before anyone took Donald Trump seriously.
This cycle works both ways. Moore...

Though 2018 certainly has several more superhero movies to serve up, the mighty Marvel Studios now happens to be done for the year. With Ant-Man and the Wasp‘s opening weekend behind us, attention will turn toward 2019’s Captain Marvel and Avengers 4, the latter of which we could easily dub “the Big One.”
As you’re probably well aware, we have under ten months to go until the final showdown with Thanos graces cinemas, so it stands to reason that Joe and Anthony Russo – and the rest of their colleagues, for that matter – remain hard at work assembling what’s sure to be a box office sensation.
Not being the studio’s first rodeo by any stretch of the imagination, everyone involved is well aware of the pace needed to be kept in order to make that due date. And according to head honcho Kevin Feige (via Birth.Movies.Death), they...

I keep telling myself that Patrick Swayze was able to crawl from his bed to the beach, still in his hospital blanket as pouring rain beat him down. Assuming he was crazy, the doctors and family gave a call to Mr. Swayze’s old pal Keanu Reeves who ventured over to the beach and tossed down Swayze’s hospital records at his feet. “Lose somethin’ brah,” Reeves replied. “My old friend Keanu,” retorted Swayze. “Was working on some new romantic comedy in Baja, with some new piece of meat named Megan. Guess someone didn’t want a good film.” Keanu continued, “But then I got a call. Missed you all last week, but I knew you wouldn’t miss this.”
“Yep. You still surfin’?” Mr. Swayze asked his old comrade. “Everyday, ever since we finished filming.” The waves crashed together as Reeves and Patrick watched on. “You gotta go in,...
