By Arleigh Rodgers March 24, 2019

“Triple Frontier” is shaped by three things — a cataclysmic heist feat, bitter ex-soldiers and the blurry setting in which director J.C. Chandor has placed these events. Chandor banks on an explosive...

"Shrill" follows the life of the spunky and wildly relatable Annie, who goes on a journey of self discovery. Unlike Annie, who is a powerhouse character that truly connects with the audience, the side characters tend to lack the same appeal.

"Patty Griffin" is a gentle commentary on the state of the world with confident vocals and humble instrumentals. Patty Griffin has been battling cancer and this album is a powerful return to the music scene for her.

Review: “Patty Griffin” is sensitive and worldly

By Arleigh Rodgers March 19, 2019

"Exocraft" feel nostalgic of old 80s sci-fi titles, but does not provide a real challenge for players. The game drones on with a repetitive map and quests, and does nothing to keep players hooked on it.

Review: “Exocraft” is extraordinarily generic

By Alex Hartzog March 18, 2019

Resource management games can be charming to some, but Goldfire Studios’ “Exocraft” is an uninspired knockoff of many other sci-fi games. “Exocraft” blends the space sci-fi aesthetics of games...
