For this latest review round-up, I take a look at two very different genre films I had the pleasure of catching up with over the last few weeks: Before I Wake from Mike Flanagan and Tom Holland’s Rock Paper Dead.
Before I Wake: Over the years, it has been interesting to watch Flanagan’s career, as he’s consistently challenged himself in various ways, giving us an array of stories that feel wholly unique and yet are so very distinctly a Mike Flanagan film. For anyone who has been following the journey of Before I Wake’s release, this is a project that has long been waiting for a platform in the Us, and thankfully Netflix has finally given it a proper home. A stunning mix of heartbreak and horror, Before I Wake is an emotionally-charged genre hybrid that features compelling performances from its trio of leads, and an...

This Friday, Cameron Crowe is taking audiences to Hawaii in the star-studded romance "Aloha." As we all know, a movie from the writer/director is always combined with a carefully curated and top shelf soundtrack, and today we have a handful of copies to give away to some lucky readers. Beck, David Crosby, Fleetwood Mac, Kurt Vile, The Blue Nile, Radical Face, The Tallest Man On Earth, and Jónsi & Alex are among the artists lending tracks to the film.

Cameron Crowe's "Aloha" arrives in cinemas next month, which means we'll be getting another curated soundtrack from the writer/director. Music has always played a vital role in his films, from setting the mood to adding dimension to the characters on screen, and tunes selected for "Aloha" certainly promise another textured playlist. Leading things off are a half dozen tunes from a variety of Hawaiian music legends. Clearly, the state isn't just a pretty backdrop to the movie, but an important setting. After that are more familiar names, mixing current indie acts and bonafide classic acts including Beck, David Crosby, Fleetwood Mac, Kurt Vile, The Blue Nile, Radical Face, and The Tallest Man On Earth.

Wish I Was Here, Boyhood and Guardians Of The Galaxy take a mixtape approach to their soundtracks. Ivan looks at what makes them so great...
"You gotta hear this one song. It'll change your life, I swear," a girl (Sam) in a doctor's waiting room once said to a boy (Andrew) who looked a lot like Zach Braff. Then, she placed a pair of headphones over his ears and played him The Shins.
Garden State's soundtrack became a must-have for all fans in 2004 thanks to its effective use - and curation - of indie artists, acoustic ditties and mild electronica. It was an album that showed a jukebox soundtrack (traditionally the territory of Tarantino) could do something different, whether that was introducing people to obscure bands they hadn't heard of or connecting you with others who also liked the movie's music.
10 years later, filmmakers are still chasing the same thing: the ultimate mixtape.

The Shins have a great tune "So Says I," but now it's time for a hazy "So Now What." The indie rockers -- who have been curbed more recently as James Mercer has pursued other musics with Danger Mouse in their project Broken Bells -- contributed the new tune to Zach Braff's "Wish I Were Here" film, which went the crowd-funding route last year. As you'll remember, Natalie Portman famously put headphones on Braff's head to the tune of The Shins "New Slang" in the former "Scrubs" star's directorial debut "Garden State" (2004). "It'll change your life, I swear," her character Sam says. Well, it certainly did change the band life of The Shins. So the circle of life continues. "Wish I Was Here" also has new songs from the likes of Bon Iver, Coldplay and Cat Power, plus previously released songs from The Head and the Heart and Hozier.

Elementary, Season 2: Episode 12 – “The Diabolical Kind”
Written by Robert Doherty and Craig Sweeny
Directed by Larry Teng
Airs Thursday nights at 10 on CBS
“You look a bit tired.”
“You look a bit evil.”
“The Diabolical Kind” begins like any other episode of Elementary might. Watson walks down the stairs, notices Sherlock sitting in his beekeeping outfit, makes a sarcastic comment about his laundry and exits the brownstone. What follows – a sequence narrated by Johnny Lee Miller, which we find out is from a correspondence with Moriarty – is “The Diabolical Kind” announcing itself as anything other than a typical episode of Elementary. It struck me when Moriarty (Natalie Dormer, just one of many TV actresses who had a fantastic 2013) is speaking with Watson at the crime scene that I was watching something heightened. Elementary, at times, has the literally awesome capability of not being a CBS procedural. That moment is...
