Benicio Del Toro and Tim Robbins have done better things. Having won two Oscars between them and been nominated for two more, this screenplay is light weight for them. The treatment seems to be perpetually caught between Mash and Hurt Locker with nods to Catch 22 and Shake Hands with the Devil. The result is
In support of their killer third album Deeper, Oakland’s The Soft Moon have begun a North American tour with over 30 shows all across the country. On top of that, they’ve announced not one, but two remix albums for Deeper, sharing Ninos Du Brasil’s take on “Feel,” an upbeat Depeche Mode build. The remix pulls
This summer Mysteryland returns to its home in Bethel Woods, New York for its third year, and the first phase of the lineup will completely blow your mind. The third edition of MYSTERYLAND USA, which is located on the same grounds of the legendary festival of all festivals, 1969’s Woodstock, continues to embrace the musical
It is entirely possible that writer/directors Manu Luksch, Martin Reinhart and Thomas Tode (Martin Reinhart also credited as writer) did not know what they were getting into when they embarked upon this archival journey into the technical advances that have become life. This collection of hundreds, if not thousands, of film clips from Germany, America,

Although the medium will surprise many viewers, its use, combined with the presence of only three voices, focuses the viewer on the message. The exaggerated mechanical motion of the stop action accentuates the stultified gear train that Stone goes through during most of the twenty
“Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars” on WeTV is getting good. This week really got my attention. It started out same s**t, different day – with Althea and Benzino starting out the day fighting again. He’s trying to find out what she’s pissed off about, and she won’t work with him on it. I think she’s
Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones, The Tudors TV series) does most of the heavy lifting as Sara. In the opening scenes Sara’s sister Jess is having a tough time in a remote area of Japan’s forest at the base of Mt. Fuji. This is not hard to believe since the forest has been nicknamed the
Baron Munchausen meets Liver Eating Johnson in this silly but entertaining sage of survival and revenge. Following up his Oscar powerhouse “Birdman” with this rough and ready thriller seems like a non sequitur for director Alejandro Iñárritu. The film has been in the works for about fifteen years and the project had already burned through
Tycho has announced a remix record for his critically acclaimed album Awake by releasing a killer RJD2 remix of the track “Apogee” which you can hear below. RJD2 transforms the hard hitting groove into an impressively dynamic and spacious journey that goes from gently plucked guitars to warm synth basses and finally choppy electric piano
