MESRINE : KILLER INSTINCT

Posted on 2009-06-01

The first part of an epic crime saga charting the rise to notoriety of Jacques Mesrine in the 60s and 70s. Picking up at the the time of Mesrine’s release from the Army following the Algerian War, the first tranche captures his descent into the criminal underworld, as he becomes embroiled with gangsters and develops his talent for armed bank robbery, kidnapping and prison breaks. Almost 30 years since his spectacular death, shot down in a hail of police bullets, the Cesar Award-winning team of writer/director Jean-Francois Richet and Vincent Cassel bring to the big screen the story of the man behind the legend. Released the 7th of August 2009

Posted on 2009-06-01

We’re very, very, very excited about District 9, the upcoming science fiction film produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Neill Blomkamp. The film takes place in Johannesburg,South Africa and includes an extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth suddenly finding a kindred spirit in a government agent that is exposed to their biotechnology. ‘Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came’. Anything with E.T’s is a must for us!!!

RICEBOY SLEEPS

Posted on 2009-06-01

Several years in gestation, the Riceboy Sleeps project was first conceived as an outlet for Jonsi and his boyfriend Alex’s visual art, resulting in the highly covetable 1,000 limited edition A6 book, printed in Iceland to highly exacting spec. Gallery shows and video installations followed, and with them the creation of the first dream-like soundscapes towards what would become this album. Recorded at home in between Sigur Rós commitments, the music took shape slowly, and suffered a near fatal setback when the computer on which it was all stored was dragged from the kitchen table in the days before Apple had magnetic power leads. Fortunately some nifty and painstaking keyhole surgery effected during a sojourn in Hawaii resulted in complete recovery of the splendid specimen soon to be before you
