The release of the Coen’s latest film, A Serious Man, gave composer Carter Burwell the opportunity to create one of his darkest and most suspenseful scores.

Video game developer Tim Schafer has been known for creating some of gaming’s funniest material. With Brütal Legend, Schafer seems to have accomplished creating one of the most original games I’ve ever played, and definitely one of the best I’ve played in all of 2009. Simply put: this game is extravagantly fresh.
