Interview: Composer John Murphy Discusses Working with James Gunn on ‘The Suicide Squad’
No matter what he seems to work on, John Murphy gravitates towards unusual projects. I mean that as a compliment, too. Whether it’s 28 Days Later…, Kick-Ass, Sunshine, or especially The Suicide Squad, this askew view from both the films and the composer had led to special end results. Murphy seems to jive best with […] More

On the Radar… (Late Summer Edition)

Ranking the Films of the DC Extended Universe
The DC Extended Universe has been quite the roller coaster. Launched after the success Marvel showed with their shared universe, DC and Warner Bros. sought to both mimic that and differentiate themselves. The end result was a far darker and more series take on superheroes. However, the reception proved far more divisive. A few titles […] More

Interview: Joel Kinnaman on ‘In Treatment’ and the Enjoyment He Gets From Acting
You may think of actor Joel Kinnaman as just an action hero, but that shortchanges the man a great deal. Sure, he’s been in RoboCop and Suicide Squad, but he’s also been in the underrated comedy Lola Versus, for example. Plus, there’s layered work in films like Easy Money. Then, on television he was affecting […] More
