Awesome: PBS Ideas Channel: How Is Seeing Ender’s Game Political Action?

Ender's Game

There are many reasons to want to and to not want to see the movie, discussions I’ve had at length with friends and colleagues over the last few months. [PBS Ideas Channel](http://www.youtube.com/user/pbsideachannel) has now condensed the argument into one nice succinct video.

Deep Space Nine

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 5 ended with a bang, literally. After three years of build-up, the war everyone knew was coming finally arrived.

The Raid 2: Berendal

If you haven’t seen 2011’s _The Raid: Redemption_ and you like martial arts films then you should probably go watch it _right now_ because there is a sequel on the way and it looks even more balls to the wall insane than the first one.

Director Gareth Evans says you should watch this trailer _LOUD_ and I’m inclined to agree.

Awesome: Preview The Entire Soundtrack of Inside Llewyn Davis

Inside Llewyn Davis

We’re very much looking forward to the Coen Brothers upcoming _Inside Llewyn Davis_ and there’s a chance it could do for folk music what _Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?_ did for bluegrass. Not sure? You can decide for yourself right now: [NPR has the entire soundtrack available to stream](http://www.npr.org/2013/11/03/242103173/first-listen-soundtrack-inside-llewyn-davis#playlist).

I don’t have a favourite song just yet but I’m now looking forward to the film even more.
