Film Review: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is a really great idea that is miscast and very poorly executed.

An Interview with Daniel Lillie of In Remission
After listening to The Great And Shallow EP from British hard-rock band In Remission, I got the privilege to have a small, yet informative interview with frontman Daniel Lillie. I am incredibly thrilled to have him take some time off to answer some questions for us here at HST, and for you all. Enjoy!

I am one of the few people that LOVES books and movies about runners, but who can’t personally run more than 200 feet (and that’s being generous) without my lungs shriveling up and imploding (inspiring, I know…but if you are looking to me for inspiration, I feel sorry for you. That’s what the books about […]

When you call something “promising,” you are basically giving something a giant question mark. If a movie trailer looks promising, it could turn out to be garbage when becomes a full fledged motion picture. If a video game looks promising, it could turn out to be almost unplayable.

Motion City Soundtrack has been my musical standby for pretty much anything. If I’m in a depressed mood, they have a song for that (“Hold Me Down”). If I’m angry, they got a song for that (“Disappear”). And whenever I feel like just singing at the top of my lungs (“L.G. Fuad”), well I think […]

If you don’t know who Hot Chip is, then may I recommend you watch their video for their 2010 single, “I Feel Better.” That oddball music video, mixed with an awesome electro-club song and great lyrics, immediately put them on my musical radar. I dug into their rather extensive back catalog and found myself enjoying […]

Prometheus is a gorgeous, thrilling, and creative sci-fi/fantasy that is only a mis-step or two away from excellence.
