‘A Minecraft Movie’ Review: It’s better than you’d think

<p>Jared Hess really was the right person to direct A Minecraft Movie. Why? Well, it’s because Minecraft, as a cultural force, is cringe.

Interview: Sleigh Bells ring in an unabashed new era of noise-pop

<p>From the moment the Earth first quaked upon the arrival of “Tell ‘Em,” Sleigh Bells have been brazen. When the New York duo’s first album Treats arrived in 2010, its jangly aggression and cheerleader-esque verve distinguished musical partners Alexis Krauss and Derek Miller as indie rock’s newest rulebreakers. Fifteen years later, that rambunctious nature has yet to mellow — largely because Sleigh Bells know how to protect it. Today (April 4), Sleigh Bells unveil their sixth album Bunky Becky Birthday […]</p>
