After skipping out on two of the last three albums to work on his own solo material, Animal Collective member Deakin (Josh Dibb) released his long-gestating debut, “Sleep Cycle.”
Writing an un-effusive review of “Hamlet” is a little bit of a nightmare. Though writers are discouraged from superlatives, self-important purple prose and vague tangents about how a work of art addresses the human condition, shouldn’t a review of “Hamlet” be just a little tinged with purple, or at least a soft violet? How is one supposed to not call “Hamlet” phenomenal when it is, objectively, such a phenomenon?
If the name Open Mike Eagle rings a bell, it’s most likely due to his performance on Hannibal Buress’s Comedy Central show “Why? With Hannibal Buress.”
“Colonia,” a historical romance film directed by Florian Gallenberger, fails to deliver the poignant insight and carefully-crafted drama necessary for the genre to be successful.
Last week, hit folk rock group The Lumineers dropped “Cleopatra,” the band’s first major release since its self-titled debut album in 2012.
“Homeward Bound,” the newest installment of “Girls,” was a disappointment. Though there was substantial plot development as well as pleasant pacing and aesthetic quality, the episode felt unbelievable and untrue to its characters. Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) returns to America in this episode feeling out of place and at a loss.
It may be the television equivalent of “National Lampoon’s Vacation” but “The Detour” highlights the creative husband-wife duo’s ability to blend silly gags with clever writing.

Directed by Ilya Naishuller and starring Sharlto Copley and Haley Bennett, “Hardcore Henry” combines its innovative technical framework with a story that, while bizarre and sometimes discombobulated, holds surprising thematic resonance.
"Horace and Pete" is undoubtedly Louis CK's best work. The show is clearly the brainchild of its creator and lead actor, sporting the off-kilter drama and minimalism part and parcel to any Louis CK production.
These shows utilize the freedom of internet television to construct less traditional, more centered narratives than would be found on broadcast television. “Catastrophe” is probably the fastest paced of them all.
“Outlander” continues to be one of the most compelling shows on television, with a romance for the ages, complex characters and compelling political intrigue. Though the audience knows the outcome of Claire and Jamie’s efforts within the first minute of the show, the journey up to that point remains riveting.
“Junk” was a risky move in its conception. Anthony Gonzalez’s narrative was inspired by 70’s and 80’s television, specifically “Punky Brewster” and “Who’s the Boss.” The goal was to explore nostalgic fantasies through these roots, but those roots don’t belong to the generation of M83 listeners.
Telltale Game’s “Minecraft: Story Mode” released its fifth and final episode on March 29. Unlike most of Telltale’s other games, the fifth episode included a different story than the previous four.
Scottish post-rocker band Mogwai has long been a genre mainstay, and it continues its record of consistency with its latest album, “Atomic.” The album was produced as a soundtrack to the BBC’s new Hiroshima documentary, “Atomic: Living in Dread and Promise.”
