Netflix is bringing a lot of interesting content to their exclusive audiences which spans around array of genres. One such project is Bloodhounds, an eight-episode action-drama series that is a culmination of phenomenal action sequences sprinkled with suspense. It would not be a surprise as the show feels similar to Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky on steroids as the show explores dark themes and violence.

With the immense success of the first season, many fans wondered if the streaming giant would renew it further and the answer seems positive now!

Netflix’s Bloodhounds Likely Gets Renewed for Season 2!

According to a new report from a local Korean outlet, SportsSeoul from journalist Kim Hyeon-deok, Netflix‘s Bloodhounds is getting renewed for another season. While their confirmation surely is great news for the action-drama fandom, it didn’t scoop much into what the new season has to offer.

It’s that time of year again when we ask ourselves: “Does Barack Obama really have that good of music taste?”

On Thursday, the former President released his yearly summer playlist — featuring tracks by a diverse set of artists, including Peso Pluma, Kelela, Boygenius, Rauw Alejandro, and even Janelle Monae’s polyamory anthem, “Only Have Eyes 42.“

“Like I do every year, here are some songs I’ve been listening to this summer — a mix of old and new,” he wrote. “Look forward to hearing what I’ve missed.”

Like I do every year,...

“Carlos” has one of the best openings I’ve ever seen — or heard — in a music documentary. We hear Carlos Santana, waxing philosophical and wise (as he’s prone to do). Intercut with his words, at throbbing intervals of about 20 seconds (and at top volume), are the iconic organ-and-bass notes — Bom Bom!…Bom Bom! — that open “Oye Como Va,” the 1971 hit by Santana. I’ll confess that “Oye Como Va” is one of those classic-rock radio staples I feel like I’ve heard more times in my life than I ever need to. (Sort of like “Moondance” and “Tempted” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”) Yet “Carlos,” instead of assaulting you with the song, severs those four notes from it (Bom Bom!…Bom Bom!) and blows them up into a piece of pop art, like a Warhol sound painting. It asks us to hear the magic of what Carlos Santana...

Warning: This post contains spoilers for Air

Set in the 1980s, Air has a great soundtrack that is jam-packed with big and memorable hits from the era. Directed by Ben Affleck, who also stars alongside Matt Damon, Chris Tucker, Jason Bateman, Chris Messina, and Viola Davis, Air tells the story of the significant and historic deal Nike made with Michael Jordan in 1984. The film has received plenty of critical acclaim and a high audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

To no one’s surprise, Air has a significant amount of songs from the 1980s. The film’s soundtrack truly sets the tone for the movie, which doesn’t necessarily live or die by its song choices. Rather, it is elevated by them. As Nike exec Sonny Vaccaro attempts to sign then-rookie basketball player Michael Jordan to a multimillion dollar deal, Air’s music takes viewers on that journey with him and his team.

Asian cinema has been long mostly watched by true connoisseurs in the west – people who are never too shy to appreciate a good movie and take it on their own merits. And so, Asian cinema has been gaining a lot of traction. There have been quite a few hits throughout the years, including Ip Man, and most recently Parasite. But just like roulette, some movies have made it and others have flopped. Roulette77.us teaches us that understanding a game of roulette is not in fact that convoluted. Nevertheless, Asian movie makers have decided not to rely on luck for the success of their future productions.

As a result, you will get a whole lot of great productions today. In fact, 2019 was definitely one of the strongest years for Asian cinema and 2020 – with its own set of challenges – promises to be no less exciting. Be that as it may, good...
