Every now and then, you hear a song or listen to an album and you find it nearly impossible to accurately describe what was just heard with words. Sometimes that’s good, sometimes it’s bad.
After Australian filmmaker Jennifer Kent’s debut critically acclaimed feature film “The Babadook” in 2014 that challenged the notions of the horror genre, she is back with a viciously disturbing tale of brutality. It captures the mostly untold horrors committed throughout history in “The Nightingale,” released limitedly in the U.S. in August.
Though the show only lasted a few years, “Avatar: The Last Airbender” was a phenomenon that is still remembered to this day. With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that Netflix has chosen to remake the animated show — this time as a live-action adaptation.
It’s officially November, and autumn is quickly transitioning into the frigid Wisconsin winter that we all know and love. Students are starting another round of midterms, and many are preparing to go home for the holidays. Holiday breaks are a great time to catch up on all the things that have gotten pushed to the side during the busy semester, including books you’ve been meaning to read but just haven’t gotten around to yet. You might want to pick up a book on a niche topic that a professor mentioned during a lecture, a book recommendation from a friend or maybe your favorite author just published a novel. However, if you are at a loss for leisure reading material, I’ve compiled a list of some distinctive November reads to fill your holiday break.
The Chainsmokers with 5 Seconds of Summer at the Alliant Energy Center – 11/9
Timothée Chalamet continues to be on the rise ever since his knockout performance in 2017’s “Call Me By Your Name,” scoring another role in Netflix’s Henry V biopic “The King.” While Chalamet proved he was a gifted talent two years ago, he seems to have left all of his skills in the past, for his portrayal of the King of England is absolutely static.
You have to credit writer/director Julius Onah for attempting to create a film that not only precipitates individual thought, but a larger societal conversation as well. Too many films these days are afraid to explore anything unsettling or provoking and simply cave into fear of challenging audiences' perceptions and emotions.
Many might know Devonte Hynes’ material only through his solo work as Blood Orange, but outside of that, Hynes has worked on a dizzying number of projects in varying capacities. He’s collaborated with songwriters like Carly Rae Jepsen, actors like Kristen Wiig and even film directors like Gia Coppola as a producer, songwriter, composer and arranger.
There are films that come around every now and then that seem to hit all the right notes and impact you in multiple ways. Very few times have I seen a film that can have the audience laughing out loud in one moment, and feeling emotional or sad just 20 seconds later.
Four years after his debut feature film “The Witch,” writer/director Robert Eggers has returned with another unique horror film set in pre-20th century New England.
Kenosha, Wisconsin’s own Alexander Kain — a rising hip-hop musician and entertainer — performed at this years Freakfest, opening for Lil Yachty at the Capitol Square Stage. He caught up with The Daily Cardinal’s Megan Girod and discussed his experience performing that night, as well as his current projects.
Music fans from near and far learned to dance in the rain at this year’s Freakfest. The annual Halloween-themed music festival in downtown Madison — this year, held on Saturday Oct. 26th — saw constant showers throughout the duration of the event.
For millions of Americans, comic books have been an escape from our regular reality for nearly a century. Characters like Batman or Spider-Man inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves, while also showing us that it’s okay to be “super” and still have faults.
Alex O’Connor —widely known as Rex Orange County— released his third studio album entitled Pony this past Friday, encouraging fans to recognize their own youth and remember it well.
Among television shows hoping to both accurately and appropriately encapsulate mental illness, “Bojack Horseman” is one of the few successes, particularly impressive for an adult animation comedy. Season six was no exception.
“Milwaukee, like so many cities in the Rust Belt, built its identity as a home to manufacturers, a growing immigrant community, and booze. Over the last half century, as jobs disappeared, so did the dreams that came with them.” This is how Tim Hennessy, editor of the anthology titled “Milwaukee Noir,” begins his introduction.
Deborah Blum — author of this year's Go Big Read book — begins her novel by stating that we “romanticize the food of our grandparents.” The reader is then given an expose about the food of the past that, no matter what your opinion is on the food of your grandparents, is likely to surprise you. Blum reports that food products of all kinds were preserved with things such as Formaldehyde, Salicylic acid or Borax, and most products were cut heavily with cheaper additives, meaning consumers had very little insight into what they were eating.
In my experience as a journalist, I have always seen art through the lens of human connection. A single painting can have the potential to connect stories, emotions, colors and people in a room. Yet, I had never thought about the connection that modern art can lend to traditional art.
Dying primetime: Loss for live viewers, win for binge-watchers
In the late 1990s, two massive wrestling companies dominated the industry which at the time was deeply entrenched in American pop culture. Then-the WWF and the now defunct WCW competed for the audience’s attention on a near-nightly basis.
