MUSIC
By Michael Lello

Panic! At The Disco: Death Of A Bachelor (DCD2/Fueled By Ramen)
Theatrical emo/pop-punkers Panic! At The Disco are back with album number five, and this one is strictly frontman Brendon Urie's baby, as he plays all of the instruments. Urie said the process was inspired by time spent alone as a kid and how he'd respond when he'd hear a song he liked, writing on Facebook: "This album is me. Running to the piano. Building a drum kit. Strumming a guitar. Some things never change." He's also called the album a mix of Frank Sinatra and Queen, and we can certainly hear some of the former in the croon-y title track. Check out the official video below:

Megadeth: Dystopia (Tradecraft/Universal)
Megadeth main man Dave Mustaine changes band members more than most heavy metal dudes change underwear. That's the case again on "Dystopia," the thrash metal pioneers' first album since drummer Shawn Drover and guitarist Chris Broderick decided to exit stage left. Filling their roles on "Dystopia" are Lamb Of God drummer Chris Adler and Brazilian guitarist Kiko Loureiro.

We'll have to wait until album No. 15 is released on Jan. 22, but judging by the sound of songs like "The Threat Is Real," it sounds like Megadeth is revisiting its lightning-quick, heavy-riffing roots, which should thrill old-school fans to no end. Check out the song's animated post-apocalyptic video below:

Savages: Adore Life (Matador Records)
All-female London group Savages' sophomore effort "Adore Life" attempts to build on 2013's buzzed-about debut, "Silence Yourself," which was nominated for a Mercury Prize, BBC-sponsored awards given to British and Irish artists.

In the video below for "Adore" below, standout singer Jehnny Beth sets a dark and brooding foundation before an anthem-like payoff.

Check out the classic track "The Jean Genie" below.

MOVIES
By Cal Setar

The Revenant (Twentieth Century Fox)
Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is back with an Oscar-worthy follow-up to his stunning, third wall-breaking "Birdman." A frontiersman is propelled into the uncharted American wilderness on what begins as a fur trading expedition but ends in a struggle for survival and revenge. Legendary explorer Hugh Glass is pushed to his limits after being betrayed by his closest confidant, attacked by a bear and left for dead by his hunting team.

The Forest (Gramercy Pictures)
In the farthest reaches of an uninhabited area of Japan at the foot of Mount Fuji, there is a forest. This forest holds no particular meaning for most, but for a select few, it has become a place of pilgrimage to the other side. In Japan's so-called Suicide Forest, a woman seeks out her twin sister. Only the young woman and her American guide find more than they bargained for as they seek answers to her sister's unexplained disappearance.

The Big Short (Paramount Pictures)
Peppered with big names - Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Brad Pitt - this exploration of the U.S. mortgage housing crisis of 2005 is told in dramatic fashion. Parallel storylines intersect in explosive fashion as Michael Burry, a former physician turned hedge fund manager, looks to exploit what he sees as a doomed real estate market. His plan to bet against the housing market reaches both the right and the wrong people, leading to an all-out assault against the nation's big banks.
