A story is often only as good as the object everyone wants. In Tony Tost’s Americana, that object is a Lakota Ghost Shirt, an artifact of immense spiritual weight said to protect its wearer from harm. When it is stolen in a violent home invasion, it ceases to be a mere museum piece and becomes a narrative engine, activating the quiet desperation of every character it encounters.

Set against the bleak backdrop of modern South Dakota, the film tracks the shirt’s chaotic journey as it passes through the hands of people who see it not as a sacred relic, but as a solution. For some, it represents a half-million-dollar payday. For others, it is the key to reclaiming a stolen heritage. For one woman, it is simply a ticket to a life she can call her own.

The film’s tension is born from this fundamental conflict: what...

Ozzy Osbourne played his farewell show with Black Sabbath just two weeks before his death on July 22. For the lucky few thousand in attendance at the rock band’s Birmingham, UK concert, it was — without hyperbole — likely the opportunity of a lifetime to see their favorite rockers reunite for one last refrain.

Black Sabbath were among a number of legacy rock bands playing concerts this year, and while...

In some ways, Reneé Rapp was burnt out before she even really got started. The singer-songwriter-actor’s 2023 debut album, Snow Angel, preceded a major tour, a starring role in the blockbuster movie musical adaptation of Mean Girls and the end of her run on the hit HBO series The Sex Lives of College Girls. After all of that, Rapp, 25, took some time for herself while making her fun, bratty, propulsive new record, Bite Me, in the process. Now that she’s on the hamster wheel of pop stardom again, she...

Some Grand Theft Auto 6fans have spotted a small detail in a popular music video that may point towards a large presence of a huge real-life rapper in the game. One of the biggest parts of any GTA game is its soundtrack, and developer Rockstar Games often incorporates real-life events, music, art, and more into its latest game. Earlier, it was reported that superstar Drake might have his own radio station in the game, and now, it looks like another big star will have a presence in GTA 6.

In a music video for the song "2000 Excursion" by Travis Scott, a GTA 6 Easter egg has been found, which may point at Travis Scott's music playing a big role in the game. At the 3:56 time mark in the video, a license plate that reads "GTA6 VI6" can be seen (via VideoGamer). This isn't a direct confirmation about Scott or his music in the game,...

"There's been a change in England and we are part of the change." Greenwich Entertainment has revealed an official trailer for a music documentary film called AngelHeaded Hipster, also a reference to the poem "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg. "Angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night..." The film first premiered back in 2022 and never opened in the US - it's only now finally hitting theaters three years later. The film is inspired by the complex and revolutionary music and lyrics of Marc Bolan and T. Rex, the glam rock powerhouse behind "Bang a Gong (Get it On)" and other iconic songs. Featuring archival performances and interviews with Elton John, Ringo Starr, and David Bowie, plus filmed musical interpretations by artists such as Nick Cave, John Cameron Mitchell, Joan Jett, Macy Gray, U2, and Father John Misty. These combine with archival footage...

It’s a weird little irony that movies about immortality are typically movies about dying. Sure, Dracula can live for eons. But he lives in constant terror of sunlight, garlic and perpendicular sticks. Those “Highlander” guys can survive forever if you don’t cut their heads off, but they’re constantly trying to cut each other’s heads off. If you can’t die in a story the emphasis is almost always placed on how actually, you could die. That, or you’ve lived so long that death seems like a pleasant change of pace.

Films like “The Old Guard” and “The Old Guard 2” make immortality seem less like a power fantasy and more like… well, not so much a curse, but a parable. Everyone in the audience has to die eventually, so we like to think our gods would envy us, instead of gloating about how cool it...

Guitarist Lita Ford was not pleased with the 2010 biopic The Runaways, saying it wasn’t an accurate depiction of her former band of the same name, while adding she’s no fan of ex-bandmate Joan Jett or actress Kristen Stewart (who played Jett in the movie).

The film starred Dakota Fanning as singer Cherie Currie, Scout Taylor-Compton as Ford, and Stewart as Jett, with most of the attention focused on Currie and Jett, as well as manager Kim Fowley (played by Michael Shannon).

Shaking off a rock ‘n’ roll bad boy reputation isn’t easy—just ask Billy Idol. While he’s been clean and sober since 2010, his image as a rebellious icon lingers.

The “Dancing With Myself” singer’s had to wait nearly two decades for his shot at getting recognized at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since he first became eligible in 2007, but at last, he finally earned his first nomination this year.

The nomination back in February was the first development in a busy 2025 for Idol so far. He released “Still Dancing” — his first single in three years — last month. At the end of April, he’s dropping Dream Into It, his first album in 11 years, which with any luck, will be punctuated with a Rock Hall acceptance as well.
