UTG LIST: Best Albums of 2012

December 24th, 2012

Tyler Osborne

All year the Under the Gun Review staff has weighed in on what we thought about the albums the music scene had to offer. This year has been good to us musically, but it’s a really hard process to shave down to our ten favorites of the year.

As you’ll see when you read through our list, genre is not a factor as albums span all different styles and tastes, and is telling about the eclectic nature of our staff. After loads of nominations, voting, and arguments, UTG is very proud to share with you our favorite albums of 2012.…

UTG LIST: 5 Essential “Starvation” Tracks

April 1st, 2012

Grant Trimboli

It seems like we spent the first three months of the year hyping Ace Hood’s latest mixtape, but it all paid off earlier this week when Starvation finally hit the net. Now, after dozens of listens, we have some thoughts to share.

Hiphop is crazy right now. The affordability of acceptable recording equipment is lower than ever before, leading to an avalanche of young talent hyping themselves as the “next big thing” in the game. This would be a fantastic thing if not for influence of current mainstream music on the wealth of this talent, making for a disillusioned group …

UTG LIST: The Essential Films Of Nicolas Cage

January 7th, 2012

James Shotwell

January 7, 2012 marks the 48th birthday of Nicolas Kim Coppola, known to most the world as Nicolas Cage. People can talk all they want about some of his recent film endeavors, or comment on rumors of real life troubles, but we here at UTG cannot deny our love for his body of work.

Sometimes on point, other times so off the beaten path it is actually amazing anyone can relate or connect, the filmography of Nicolas Cage (now at 68 titles according to IMDB) is one of legend. To celebrate the 48th anniversary of his birth, the UTGFilm department …

REASONABLE REMAKES: 5 Remakes That (Probably) Won’t Suck

November 9th, 2011

James Shotwell

Under The Gun is continuing our efforts to bring you more original and engaging content with REASONABLE REMAKES. Written by film-nerd Justin Proper, this column aims to highlight Hollywood’s forgotten gems and spark debate.

You see, we’ve grown tired of Hollywood rehashing ideas we’re old enough to remember. Why remake something the majority of the planet still remembers and loves deeply when there are tons of films that deserve a chance to be as great as modern technology and skill can make them? If you agree, this column is for you.

I spend a lot of time talking …
