If you’ve read much of anything about the plot of The Unicorn, the new film starring Nick Rutherford and Lauren Lapkus, then you know that it’s definitely not what you’d call a family-friendly motion picture: the premise revolves around Caleb and Malory, an engaged couple – played, as you probably guessed, by Rutherford and Lapkus – who attend Malory’s parents’ vow renewal ceremony for their 25 th anniversary and walk away with the belief that they need to spice things up in the boudoir if they’re going to last as a couple for the long haul. But that’s enough talk about adult situations and ma

For fans of superhero movies in general and, if you want to be more specific, for fans of a certain webslinger and wallcrawler, the wait for the first trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home seemed to go on forever. Granted, there was a little more anxiety than usual for this particular cinematic outing for ol’ Webhead, since the last time we saw him on the big screen, he was – spoiler alert – turning to dust, having been part of the 50% of the universe’s population that went bye-bye when Thanos snapped his fingers at the end of Avengers: Infinity War . If you don’t thrill to every adventure wit

If you saw the animated film The Secret Life of Pets , then you already know what a fun franchise it is, but if you’ve seen the trailer for The Secret Life of Pets 2 , then you may be wondering about what a funky franchise it is…or, more specifically, what the funky song is that’s playing. There’s apparently more than one trailer for the Pets sequel bouncing around the ‘net, with different pets getting their own character-centric trailer, but we can personally vouch for the fact that the one spotlighting Chloe definitely gives Charles Wright and the Watts 103 rd Street Rhythm Band’s “Express Y

When we first heard that Netflix was going to be releasing a Christmas movie featuring a new take on Santa Claus which would feature Kurt Russell playing Kris Kringle, we had the same reaction you probably did: “Oh, this is gonna be goooooood …” Similarly, when you first watched THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES , you may have wondered about one of the songs featured within the film, whereas we… Well, actually, we didn’t wonder about it, but that’s only because it was licensed from our catalog, so we already knew the song in question. “Please Come Home for Christmas” was originally released in 1960, al

If you haven’t seen the trailer for Toy Story 4 yet, then we can only offer you one piece of advice: stop reading this article immediately and go watch it. This is partly to provide you with a frame of reference for the remainder of the piece, but it’s also because, c’mon, you know you want to watch it… Pretty great, right? Granted, it’s a long wait for the actual film to hit theaters, but just knowing that it’s forthcoming is pretty awesome. But we’d guess that some of you have been left with one lingering question beyond whether or not Don Rickles was able to record his dialogue for the film

Given the wealth of classic rock, folk, and R&B tunes found within the Rhino catalog, it should come as no surprise that a film focusing on the life of Neil Armstrong should feature a few songs from this here label, which is why we’ve made this installment of “What’s That Song?” a two-fer. Actually, make that a three-fer: we’re tackling two artists, but we’re actually touching on a trio of songs…and just to make things extra-confusing, two of those songs were actually performed by a trio! To kick things off, we’ll go ahead and kill two birds with one stone by focusing on the two Peter, Paul &

Although it’s received a fair amount of critical acclaim since it first started appearing in film festivals and gradually earned a limited theatrical release, it would not be entirely surprising if you hadn’t yet had an opportunity to catch BEAUTIFUL BOY, the new film starring Steve Carell and Timothee Chalamet. Being as it’s based on two books – Beautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addiction by David Sheff and Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines by Nic Sheff – with titles that pretty much clarify what the film itself is about, you can imagine that it’s the sort of picture tha

If you haven’t yet seen the film White Boy Rick, then you’re missing out on a great character study, but you’re also missing out on a well-done period piece that takes viewers back in time to an era when funk was king. Well, maybe it wasn’t actually king . But it was certainly a Grandmaster! The use of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five’s “Scorpio” is an intentional one, offering a nod to Robert Ward, a character whose nickname was – you guessed it – Scorpio. But there’s plenty of other outstanding music within the soundtrack, including tracks by Mtume, Bob James, Edwin Starr, Funkadelic, Ca

If you’re one of the millions of people who went to see Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga’s new take on the classic A Star Is Born this weekend, then you heard Gaga delivering a version of a classic track by Edith Piaf, but if you don’t know which of the songs Gaga sung was by Piaf, well, then you’ve come to the right place. When Jackson, Cooper’s character, first sees Ally – played by Gaga – singing her heart out at the drag bar, not only is she singing Edith Piaf’s “La Vie en Rose,” but she’s dressed like Piaf, too. After the show, Jackson goes backstage to chat with Ally, where he proceeds to as

For as undeniable as Spike Lee’s influence as a filmmaker may be, it’s been more than a few years since the director has earned the sort of rave reviews that he’s pulling in for his latest flick, BlacKkKlansman . There’s also something else that’s particularly notable about the film: it features a Prince song, “Mary Don’t You Weep,” which – until it found its way into the mix for consideration for the soundtrack – had never before been released. Lee spoke with Rolling Stone about the film, during which time he was asked about how the song found its way into his hands. “I knew that I needed an
