Yeezus marks another twist in Kanye West’s sound, away from the hip-hop/prog-rock fusion of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and the chipmunk soul of his early years toward electronic and lyrical brutalism. With typical hyperbole, West recently called himself “a Black New Wave artist,” but it’s hard to connect Yeezus to other musicians — Dirty Mind–era Prince, Grace Jones, Fishbone, Nona Hendryx, A.R. Kane, etc. — who could be said to fit that label.

Michiel Huisman and Doona Bae in Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire. Crumbling under the weight of its own visionary grandiosity, Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon is a series of amazing-looking sets and costumes and effects looking for a story, characters, emotion — really, anything that might raise the pulse. Maybe part of that is due to the fact that this, like so many other movies nowadays, is a Part One — subtitled A Child of Fire, which could mean that the real fireworks will come in the next installment.

In the big Sundance comedy My Idiot Brother, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer play two of the sisters who take in their nomadic hippie brother Paul Rudd but are unprepared for the upheaval he brings into their lives. When the actresses sat down with Vulture during the fest, though, both seemed utterly welcoming of chaos, bouncing back and forth between each other like an expert comedy team.

Walter White (Bryan Cranston) - Breaking Bad _ Season 5, Episode 16 - Photo Credit: Ursula Coyote/AMC (Spoiler Alert, etc.) Last night’s Breaking Bad ended with Walt lying on the lab floor, dead, with Badfinger’s “Baby Blue” playing. The song felt like a wildly appropriate closer for a crime epic centered around blue meth, what with the opening lyric “Guess I got what I deserved” and the refrain “the special love I have for you, my Baby Blue.
