A scattershot but compelling postscript to “The Zone of Interest,” and the film that is guaranteed to start auto-playing every time someone watches that Oscar-winning masterpiece on Max, “The Commandant’s Shadow” similarly examines the moral dissociation that made Auschwitz possible — but where Jonathan Glazer’s anti-drama framed the Final Solution as a nine-to-five job, Daniela Völker’s documentary instead positions that atrocity as an inheritance. Rudolf Höss’ brood of blond little sons and daughters had no way of knowing — or at least no way of understanding — that their father was overseeing the greatest slaughter our species has ever suffered, but the unfathomable reality of the situation naturally began to reveal itself to them as they came of age during the Nuremberg Trials and learned that Auschwitz wasn’t synonymous with “childhood idyll” for the rest of the world. Did the Camp Commandant’s children — and their children’s children — struggle...

The results of the 2024 Academy Awards are finally starting to roll in and at the forefront of most of those wins, Oppenheimer has taken the lead with a whopping seven wins in total. This is a huge milestone for not just filmmaker Christopher Nolan, but also the entire cast and crew of the movie, which made it into the masterpiece we know today.

But on the other side, there is Margot Robbie and Great Gerwig’s Barbie, which despite having several nominations, has won in none of the categories. Thus, with no awards coming in its direction, fans of the actress and the film are naturally upset as they have a meltdown on the internet on the bad luck that has fallen on the movie.

Who could've imagined "Community" launching the careers of so many big-name artists? From the Russo Brothers to Donald Glover and Alison Brie, Dan Harmon's cult-favorite comedy series was a breeding ground for then-budding talents, perhaps none more so than composer Ludwig Göransson. Over the last 15 years, Göransson has cemented himself as one of the best music-making millennials in the business, along the way picking up an Oscar for the sick Afrofuturistic beats of his "Black Panther" soundtrack (although his Oscar-nominated score for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" was just as impressive). He's now landed a well-deserved second Academy Award for his electrifying work on "Oppenheimer," placing him in some reputable company when it comes to the Oscars.
Specifically, this gives Göransson just as many Oscars as Hans Zimmer. It's actually kind of mind-boggling that the legendary composer doesn't have more than that, considering just how many iconic movie scores he's...

You know what's cool? The unabashedly sci-fi nerdery on display in "Dune" and this week's follow-up, "Dune: Part Two." You know what's even cooler? Catching all that majesty on the biggest screen available with a packed crowd and one of those mildly disturbing "Dune"-themed popcorn buckets in hand. You know what's coolest of all? Coming down from that spice-induced high in the days and weeks and even months after the fact, blasting the sumptuous and epic soundtrack from composer Hans Zimmer in a new release crafted by the fine folks over at Mutant (the new shop that rose from the ashes of the shutdown of Mondo).
Following hard on the heels of their celebration of the "Lisa Frankenstein" soundtrack will be a specially curated physical release of the "Dune: Part Two" soundtrack for the vinyl and CD enthusiasts among us. Having seen the highly-anticipated sequel, we can confirm that...
