Review - Star Trek → filmvisuality.blogspot.com

I am not a Trekkie. I don’t think I have ever sat through an episode of the beloved, Shatner-starring TV Show. And whilst a film adaptation of what many consider to be the holy grail of science…

Listen

indierawk:

Elliot Smith - Needle in the Hay.
The Royal Tenenbaums (2001).

GREAT MOVIE SCENES, GREAT SONGS #3.

“I’m taking the cure so I can be quiet wherever I want. So leave me alone. You ought to be proud that I’m getting good marks.”

As one of my favorite movies, I can say — without hesitation — that I wanna marry Wes Anderson and have him direct my life.

indierawk:

Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like Honey.
Lost in Translation (2003).

GREAT MOVIE SCENES, GREAT SONGS #2.

“Listen to the girl as she takes on half the world, moving up and so alive in her honey dripping beehive.”

That last scene was fucking magical.

FilmArt - Fake Criterion DVDs → filmvisuality.blogspot.com

OK, it should be well known to most people (movie buffs) that there is a company called Criterion, that re-releases DVDs in their own style, with insane special features and amazing cover art to…

Ebert on Death → blogs.suntimes.com

This blog post is brilliant. Although I don’t necessarily share his views on religion or death, the sheer honesty of the post and the succinct way in which he can recognise and capture the concept of his own mortality astounds me.

Listen

This is from the Casanova Soundtrack but I found it on The Playlist’s Soundtrack Series in their “If I Were Wes Anderson” Mix. First time I heard this I could’ve sworn it was in Rushmore or The Royal Tenenbaums.

Recent Music

OK, I haven’t actually written anything substantial on this Tumblr for a while, so I’m gonna head in a musical direction. (For more, check out http://betterlookalive.blogspot.com)

Last 5 albums I have listened to:

5. Today - Galaxie 500

Brilliant album. On one listening I was hooked to the dream pop/shoegaze/whatever you want to call this subgenre that is Galaxie 500. Just so cool, easy to listen to and just plain enjoyable. I recommend this to ANYONE.

4. Sunshine (Music From The Motion Picture)

See the film. The score and sound design should blow you away. And it has Underworld :)

3. Broken Beats/Weave and Wish/Table Scraps/Wonderland - Pogo

OK, so this is sort of cheating, but I’m combining these 4 EPs. This guy is from Perth, Australia and is awesome. He melds together samples form movies and creates a great ambient sound. All of his stuff is for free at Last.fm

2. Junior - Röyksopp

This is a great dance album. All the songs are catchy, they will stick in your head, trust me on this.

1. Primary Colours - The Horrors

One of the best albums I have heard in a long time. This is like a modern Joy Division sound and it is brilliant!!!! Just get it, listen to it, bask in it, do whatever you wish with it but enjoy the hell out of it!

May 10, 2009

just watched The Crow aka Brandon Lee’s last film. I’m stuck between a 7/10 and an 8. I loved the visual style, which Proyas would go on to perfect in Dark City, the plot wasn’t really there but hey, there were some cool deaths!
