Filmmakers have a secret weapon to manipulate our memories and emotions when watching their movies. Researchers found that tunes are strategically placed throughout films to help viewers recall a scene's actions, characters and finale outcomes. The torture of a police officer in Reservoir Dogs is accompanied by the upbeat song'Stuck in the Middle with You' by Stealers Wheel, making it memorable to movie-goers who can recall the violent scene years after. Psychology experts also found the right music is necessary for trailers as filmmakers only have a few minutes to captivate the audience and convince them their movie is worth watching. The torture of a police officer in Reservoir Dogs is accompanied by the upbeat song'Stuck in the Middle with You' by Stealers Wheel, making it memorable to movie-goers who can recall the violent scene years after Libby Damjanovic with Lund University wrote in The Conversation that music is a key part of movies and has become'ingrained in our cinematic experience that we sometimes end up having false memory for it.'

Developer Big Star Games announced Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days, a top-down shooter game based on director Quentin Tarantino's 1992 film of the same name. Bloody Days revolves around controlling each of the six main characters (Mr. White, Mr. Orange, Mr. Brown, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Pink and Mr. Blue) from the film and levels are based on heists in various scenarios. The game will release first on Steam in the spring and head to Xbox One later this year. "By taking control of different characters for overlapping bursts of time, players must utilize the strengths of each squad member to carry out the game's missions, with every move and shot creating a butterfly effect on the overall outcome." Big Star Games CEO Liam Patton said in a statement.
