You can find that shit on pages 50-57 of the issue HERE.

They really broke the bank on source music this season, didn't they?  Not to a (say it with me) Sopranos level but still, lots of pricey songs this year, relatively.

Lake Country by Sean Doolittle

My review of Sean Doolittle's Lake Country is up at spinetingler.

Check that beast out HERE.

I'm a huge fan of Doolittle's previous work as well - Safer, The Cleanup, Burn, Rain Dogs - but his debut, Dirt, is kinda hard to come by.

Somebody should fix that toot-sweet.  We're in the ebook age now, after all.

Glad I was able to make the packed early screening of this movie as it was great to see it in a crowd that was (mostly) down for the sick fun that is this fucking beast of a flick.

After last week's very fine character episode we get a pretty explosive and plot-heavy one.  Shit is really picking up on BB, folks!

Crime Sleeper Double Feature: Larceny, Lies and Lefse: Daniel Espinosa’s Easy Money (2010) and Morten Tyldum’s Headhunters (2011)

I've got another blog post up at the crime factory blog.  Normally I save my Crime Sleeper Double Feature articles for the magazine proper but, fuck it, I do what I want...when my editors let me, anyway.

This one's called "Larceny, Lies and Lefse: Daniel Espinosa's Easy Money (2010) and Morten Tyldum's Headhunters (2011)"

Is anyone else weirded out that only one year has passed in the Breaking Bad universe?  Seems too short of a span for how much has happened.  Then again, every episode of Deadwood was one day...
