[iframe id="http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/embed/spotlight/trailer/index.html"]
Spotlight is a true story about the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation team from The Boston Globe that broke the door wide open on the Massachusetts Catholic Church sexual abuse scandal in 2002. Directed by Thomas McCarthy (Win Win, The Cobbler), the film looks like it'll be a suspenseful thriller strengthened by an amazingly talented ensemble cast.
The Boston Globe "Spotlight" team, which is the oldest running newspaper investigation unit in the country, spent an entire year unraveling the various attempts at hiding the sexual abuse within the Catholic Church and the institution's lawyers that ensured no legal ramifications would be levied against them. The cast features Michael Keaton (Birdman), Mark Ruffalo (The Avengers: Age of Ultron), Billy Crudup (The Stanford Prison Experiment), John Slattery (Mad Men), Rachel McAdams (Southpaw), Stanley Tucci (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2), and Liev Schreiber (Fading Gigolo).
Spotlight will be in theaters on November 6th.
Michael Christmas: "Kunishi"
Michael Christmas is poised to have a huge year in 2014 with all the work he has put in the last few months towards his forthcoming mixtape, Is This Art? The impressive Jasper Sheff-produced cut, "Kunishi," brings out the best of Christmas and actually has gotten me more excited for the project than ever before. The instrumental is sonically a bit different from previous singles "Daily" and "Michael Cera;" nonetheless, the Bostonian keeps his unconventional humor intact and cranks up the intensity of the song to the max.
