If it’s been hard out there for a pimp in recent decades, that wasn’t always the case. In the beginning, there was Ramrod, the scarfaced, rockabilly psycho whose reign of terror on Ho(llywood) Boulevard anchors Gary A. Sherman’s Vice Squad, a definitive second-feature sleazterpiece (executive produced by, among others, Frank Capra Jr. and former AMPAS president Robert Rehme).
The Criterion Collection

Abbas Kiarostami’s The Wind Will Carry Us takes its title from a poem by the Iranian artist Forugh Farrokhzad, a controversial figure who preached progressive political and feminist doctrine through a variety of written, verbal, and visual mediums before dying in a car accident in 1967 at age 32.
An Addictively Strategic Tower Defense Game

3 days ago | slantmagazine.com | Mitchell Demorest

Adriaan de Jongh’s addictively strategic Rift Riff is a tower defense game whose main point of distinction is its relatively open-level layouts. Instead of traveling along clearly defined tracks, there’s usually some ambiguity to the path each group of enemies will take, and not every enemy type in a given wave is guaranteed to behave the same.
'The Andromeda Strain' 4K UHD Blu-ray: Arrow Video

4 days ago | slantmagazine.com | Clayton Dillard

Robert Wise’s adaptation of The Andromeda Strain retains much of the Michael Crichton novel’s emphasis on the minutiae of efforts to contain a deadly extraterrestrial microorganism while blending in elements of a procedural thriller and a disaster film. As lensed by Richard H.
Kali Uchis ‘Sincerely’ Review: A Blissed-Out Embrace of Contentment

6 days ago | slantmagazine.com | Steve Erickson

Kali Uchis’s 2024 Spanish-language album Orquideas offered a soothing balm for a world in chaos, and the mood enveloping her English-language follow-up, Sincerely, is even more blissful.

6 days ago | slantmagazine.com | Rocco Thompson

In the highly anticipated Overcompensating, comedian and actor Benito Skinner, best known for his online persona Benny Drama, stars as Benny, a closeted former football player and homecoming king who finds himself torn between pleasing everyone else or being himself after heading to college.
PinkPantheress ‘Fancy That’ Review: A Succinct and Distinct Mixtape

1 week ago | slantmagazine.com | Sal Cinquemani

It remains to be seen if the zeitgeist-y triumph of Charli XCX’s hyperpop masterpiece Brat results in a glut of new dance records a la the discomania of the late 1970s or the EDM boom of the early 2010s. At a baseline—pun not not intended—it could open the door to more mainstream success for emerging artists like PinkPantheress, née Victoria Walker, in the United States.
A Very Funny Immersive Sim

1 week ago | slantmagazine.com | Mitchell Demorest

Much of the charm of many immersive sims comes from the fact that, despite the genre’s tendency toward self-serious trappings, these games have the capacity to generate surprisingly funny moments as players outwit their totally outmatched (and often not-too-bright) CPU opponents. So it’s both refreshing and appropriate that Skin Deep, from developer Blendo Games, brands itself an out-and-out comedy game.
'In the Heat of the Night' Criterion 4K UHD Blu-ray Review

1 week ago | slantmagazine.com | Derek Smith

Virgil Tibbs (Sidney Poitier) doesn’t bother asking for acceptance or respect from white people. He unequivocally demands it. Unlike Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, In the Heat of the Night is under no delusions that racial prejudice can be corrected merely by white people coming into proximity with intelligent, successful people of color, particularly in a small town like Sparta, Mississippi.
'How to Get Ahead in Advertising' Blu-ray Review

1 week ago | slantmagazine.com | Jake Cole

In Bruce Robinson’s debut feature, Withnail and I, the permanent scowl of Richard E. Grant’s character speaks to his anger at a world that fails to acknowledge his genius, his features made more gaunt and lifeless by alcoholism. The actor channels much of the same body language and aura as Withnail in Robinson’s 1987 sophomore feature, How to Get Ahead in Advertising, to play advertising executive Denis Bagley, though here the shambolic sense of grievance is replaced by mercenary superiority.
