DJ RyB
http://www.podomatic.com/search?query=dj+ryb&x=0&y=0 When I find a DJ that has a good sense of timing and style, I’m in heaven. DJ RyB’s mixes are fun and playful with a fantastic blend of styles and beats. Again, the music flows for over an hour in many cases and doesn’t have the jarring and disjointed feeling that some DJ mixes have. Instead of a quick jolt to another tune, RyB’s flows are smooth and well thought out. Some “funtastic” flows for … Read entire article »

12 Monkeys
12 Monkeys http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114746/ Directed by Terry Gilliam Now, time travel films are hit or miss. The genre is filled with both ends of the spectrum ranging from brilliant and fun to sad, pathetic, weak and ridiculous. 12 MONKEYS is definitely on the “brilliant and fun” end of the swing, handling the time travel motif well and being very smart about the concepts and storyline. This blast from the past holds up really well and is one grand time … Read entire article »

Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes http://www.myspace.com/fleetfoxes FLEET FOXES is a throwback to the glory days of folk rock, but not in a bad way. They vocalize and harmonize with a delightful 60s style, but don’t merely copy or clone. They mix things up with their own distinct musical arrangement and styling, taking the older style and adding a little modern edge to it. Echo sweetens the vocals and guitars meander through a musical landscape of deep visuals and … Read entire article »

Neighbor Number 13
Neighbor No. 13 (Rinjin 13-gô) (2005) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443205/ Directed by Yasuo Inoue Disturbing. That pretty much sums up this tale of duality from Japan where a nice, quiet neighbor has an extremely dark and violent persona that lives within him. He can’t control it and I honestly think he doesn’t want to. This persona takes care of him and makes sure he’s safe and this story explores what happens to the unfortunate few who get to meet the dark side … Read entire article »

Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (1965) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058898/ Directed by Jean-Luc Godard ( Masculin féminin: 15 faits précis 1966 ) Godard tries his hand at Dick Tracy-like science fiction in this film about secret agent Lemmy Caution’s exploits in the city of ALPHAVILLE where love and self expression are outlawed. The science fiction side of things leans towards the real and less fantasy, but is fun to explore with the lead. The narration is provided by a … Read entire article »

Match Point
Match Point (2005) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416320/ Directed by Woody Allen When I saw MATCH POINT originally, I didn’t know it was a Woody Allen film. I’m a huge Woody Allen film fan ( “especially his early funny ones” ) , but managed to miss that this was his film. We arrived late when we saw it and I didn’t catch the opening credits. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that he was the Director when the movie … Read entire article »
