Dark Knight trilogy, Christopher Nolan, charts

The Imitation Game

Benedict Cumberbatch stars as British
cryptanalyst and World War II hero Alan
Turing, whose real life leadership of a motley

to a tragic fall from grace.

FIVE FACTS:

loosely based on Andrew Hodges biography,
Alan Turing: The Enigma.

for the best unproduced Hollywood scripts in
2011.
3. Other cast members include Keira
Knightley, Matthew Goode, Rory Kinnear,

Death Cab for Cutie
Kintsugi - the eighth studio album of the indie
rock band, and its first since 2011 - may be
the last to feature lead guitarist and founding
member Chris Walla, but theres still plenty
more of interest here, not least the work of
Wallas replacement on production duties,
Rich Costey. Indeed, it is the groups first
album to feature an outside producer.

Genre: Alternative
Released: Mar 27, 2015
11 Songs
Price: $10.99

173 Ratings

FIVE FACTS:
1. The albums title refers to the Japanese
art of kintsugi, which involves the fixing of
broken pottery and treats breakage and
repair as part of an objects history, rather
than something to disguise.
2. It is the follow-up to 2011s Codes and
Keys.
3. The band was formed in Bellingham,
Washington in 1997.
4. The group presently comprises vocalist,
guitarist and pianist Ben Gibbard, bassist
Nick Harmer and drummer Jason McGerr.
