• EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: 'Terminator Genisys' Composer Lorne Balfe Talks 2015 Movie Score & More!

    Terminator Genisys is easily one of the most anticipated movies of 2015, hitting theaters this week just ahead of the July 4th weekend. We already know that this film isn't going the usual route we se in Hollywood, avoiding the prequel, sequel and even reboot and remake strategies that are flooding the big screen even as we speak. In Genisys, we get a whole other movie monster that pays tribute to the James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger films in a great new way. In order to really capture the essence of the original blockbusters, director Alan Taylor worked with acclaimed composer Lorne Balfe to introduce us to this original storyline that still holds onto the ideas of the first two movies.

  • EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Songwriter Lera Lynn Talks 'True Detective' Season 2 Music & More!

    After an amazingly popular first season of HBO's True Detective, season two has had a lot to live up to, with a new story and new stars taking on different characters. One big change came when the songwriter for the series, Oscar winner T. Bone Burnett brought in the relatively unknown singer-songwriter Lera Lynn for the season two soundtrack music. We all figured it would be a great match because fans of the crime series know that writer and creator Nic Pizzolatto is a very meticulous showrunner, but when we heard Lynn's voice on the song "The Only Thing Worth Fighting For" in the teaser trailer for the 2015 episodes, we were blown away. Thanks to Lera's haunting voice, we were sold on the new season.
