Shaun of the Dead is old enough to go to the Wi******er, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over.

For all the film’s cultural commentary or even overt satire, Shaun of the Dead remains such a comedy horror staple 20 years later because of the compelling interpersonal drama that Wright and Pegg manage to tease out amid all the gory mayhem.

The Vourdalak is a stylistic gamble that paid off, its unnerving mood and atmosphere only heightened by an innovative and macabre creature design too peculiar to easily forget.

Daltrey would take the stage with as much magnetism as ever, lit up with enthusiasm for doing a memorable set of music just his way.

It's a show about fun times and straightforward music, and it's remarkably affecting, using a little bit of everything to create a notably singular evening.

If, unsurprisingly, it was not the last action picture, it did mark the definitive end of the cartoonish 1980s action-hero era — at least for a little while.

A meta-action movie as well as a satire, the ambitious, occasionally messy Last Action Hero proved too much for normie '90s audiences. But it's a funny and incisive blast.

In the lushness of the cinematography and the languid pacing of the interleaved storylines, the film feels somewhat like the product of another era, when attention spans were longer and ambiguities could be allowed to linger.

Tomorrow was the question; find a new rhythm section was ultimately the answer, but Ornette Coleman straining to free himself from the bonds of bebop is its own special thing.

What you believe to be a run-of-the-mill “day camp” style festival can actually turn out to feel like a whole new world. Kilby Block Party

In a music landscape saturated with festivals with identical lineups, KBP offers a heady blend of acts that may appear elsewhere, but are still mixed with the spirit of the unexpected.

Mad Love feels like just a blip in the half-century Ronstadt spent performing, and though it’s far from her most stunning work, listening to her voice will never be a bad decision.

Linda Ronstadt conquered punk rock and new wave with impressively little effort, but Mad Love still seems to be a forgotten installment of her discography.
