‘Emancipation’ Review: Living history, in blues and grays

<p>Antoine Fuqua’s Emancipation can be slotted in with the rest of the “1917-likes,” the emerging subcategory of war and action films that took the challenge issued to them by Sam Mendes and Roger Deakins back in 2019. It’s important to note that the main gimmick of that particular film – the single-shot construction — doesn’t have to be imitated in order to qualify a movie for this label.

Check out the new single by the Darts!

The Darts are back! You know this rocking band- they kick out super smashing garage rock with a surf twist and really just totally smash the room up. Their brand new single, "Snake Oil," is no excpetion. It begins with one of those spiraling surf-rock riffs.

We are tired of being fed a constant diet of bullshit. Like, really tired of it.”
