Wretched Genius: Best of 2013: Top 30 Songs
http://wretchedgenius.blogspot.com/2014/02/best-of-2013-top-30-songs.html
The world of pop culture is a wonderful and terrible place. Thursday, February 27, 2014. Best of 2013: Top 30 Songs. My favorite songs from 2013. I limited my selections to a maximum of two songs per artist (one artist technically appears on this list three times, but once as part of a collaboration, so I made an exception), lest this list be made up almost entirely of songs from Tegan and Sara, Chvrches and Dessa. Bo Burnham, " Repeat Stuff. 30 The Joy Formidable, " Silent Treatment (William Orbit mix).

Movies are rated as Terrible, Mediocre, Average, Good or Great. Well, actually we do. Have an accent. It's called General American, and it's the most sought-after accent of broadcast television and film because of its lack of dialect. Franchise, and Rhianna "acting." Also I think there was a slow-motion walking shot of U...

The world of pop culture is a wonderful and terrible place. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. The Academy Awards are this coming Sunday (list of nominees can be found here. This is my breakdown. America has officially fallen in love with this charming British film, and the Academy sure does love uplifting English period pieces and making populist choices. Colin Firth, The King's Speech. Everyone knows he will win. Even poor James Franco knows it. Because he was great, that's why. Natalie Portman, Black Swan.

http://wretchedgenius.blogspot.com/2014/09/upcoming-fall-movies.html
The world of pop culture is a wonderful and terrible place. Thursday, September 04, 2014. These are the upcoming films that I am most looking forward to seeing. The Drop (September 12th).

Vibe I'm getting from the late James Gandolfini's role. The Guest (September 17th). Made my Top 10 list. And Out of Sight. So yeah, he's good.

Wretched Genius: December 2011
http://wretchedgenius.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The world of pop culture is a wonderful and terrible place. Friday, December 30, 2011. 2011 Music Roundup, part 2: Original Songs. Top 20 Original Songs. 20 Foster The People, "Helena Beats". I'm sorry everyone, but I just cannot stand "Pumped Up Kicks." This song is far superior to FTP's megahit. 19 The Sounds, "Something To Die For". The lead single from the album of the same name, which is the only album this year that I downloaded at midnight on the day of its release. 18 Dum Dum Girls, "Bedroom Eyes".

Wretched Genius: May 2014
http://wretchedgenius.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
The world of pop culture is a wonderful and terrible place. Thursday, May 01, 2014. These are 15 of my most anticipated upcoming summer films, presented in the order that I wrote them down in my notes when coming up with the list. I haven't seen the director's highly-acclaimed previous film, Animal Kingdom. But the trailer has me very, very interested. It almost looks like a spiritual sequel to The Proposition. He was good in Cosmopolis. But we need an Exhibit B to confirm that it wasn't just a fluke).

Wretched Genius: April 2014
http://wretchedgenius.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
The world of pop culture is a wonderful and terrible place. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Top 8 Films of 2014 (so far). These are my Top 8 films for 2014 so far. Why Top 8? Because that's how many 2014 films I've seen. I'm still trying to catch up on all of the 2013 films I've missed*. Plus, quite frankly, not many of the 2014 films that have come out so far have looked like they were worth seeing. Of the 2013 films I've caught up on, only the The Punk Singer. 8 300: Rise of an Empire. 5 Knights of Badassdom.
