I'm super excited for the upcoming year, so here's your complete guide to all the superhero movies coming out in 2017, better known as, the only reason I ever go to a theater anymore.

Muses of Music
In Greek mythology, muses inspired science, literature and art. According to these myths, muses were the source of the knowledge expressed in poetry, songs and fables. In modern times, muses often come in the form of men and women that inspire musicians, painters or even writers.

In music, muses have had a considerable influence in both positive and negative respects.

Most Controversial Songs of All Time
As America's most controversial President prepares for office, it seems we've entered an age of controversy: with not only controversial songs, films and books, but controversial business and politics; where any publicity is always good publicity. As Trump manages to keep his face on newspaper and news site front pages, a concerned mother's rant on Vince Staple's "Norf Norf" goes viral introducing the LA rapper to a whole new fan base. However, this wasn't always so. Younger readers may struggle to remember a time where politicians' blunders only occasionally found their way to the public eye, but there was a time when the public relied upon the world of art for entertainment; for shocks and controversy. Much has been said about banned and controversial books such as A Clockwork Orange and American Psycho just as controversial films such as Strawdogs and Taxi Driver, but here we'll be talking about some of the most controversial songs of all time.

Animal House is on Netflix and You Should Watch it if You Haven't Seen It
It may be the fact that six months have gone by since I graduated from Cornell. It may be the fact that Animal House is now on Netflix and I've watched it every other day. Or, maybe, it's the fact that college is cinematic in nature in so many ways.

'Gotham' Season 1 Pre-Batman Ultimate Guide
An often divisive superhero television series, Gotham is a show to be binged on. It is a fantastic voyage into the setting of the stage for what would be one of the most iconic superheroes ever, from comic book to TV to movies. Batman is a legendary hero. A hall of famer. And so is the city that created him. Gotham the series is less superhero TV than it is cops chasing bad guys. But the bad guys are not your common criminals. The bad guys are the stars of the show, and they are ruthless sociopaths who bask in the violent drama of gang warfare. Gotham is the story of a few good men just beginning a battle that will take many lives and last many years until a boy becomes a man and a city can take no more bloodshed.

Arif Erdem Ocak: Turkey’s Breakout Musician of the Year
Moonlight on tight shorts and bikini tops… A secluded beach lapped by hot Aegean waves… The dark green of woods within which stalk predators hunting furry prey... And then— a rainbow of lights cross each other like sniper beads seeking targets as a boom of unnaturally amplified guitars disrupts the ambient airwaves.
