Glass Candy - Digital Versicolor & Bronson

I just watched Bronson, a superb movie about England's most violent inmate. Below is a great soundtrack that is played twice during the length of the film, once the start of the film and another time at the very end. It adds a joyful eeriness to setting.

Four Lions : A Jihadist Comedy

I can't wait till Four Lions debuts in theaters this May. A controversial comedy directed by Chris Morris that follows a 4 man suicide terror cell in the UK. The story follows them from the groups initial inception to their gateway to heaven, blowing up the London marathon.

Un Prophete (A Prophet)

'A Prophet' was nothing more than a title that was being repeated in and out of points of conversation over the last few weeks till I watched the movie. Amazing. Jacques Audiard grows the story at the perfect pace, frames the setting beautifully to the point where you can feel the oppression of the prison coming down on you, the strongest point of the movie for me was the development of Malik as a character. The movie follows the young French-Arab man that is shifted from juvenile prison into the real thing. He arrives not knowing a thing, he's illiterate, he has no friends, and no family. He is basically alone in this world and he's even more alone when he enters prison. That's all I will say before this post becomes a spoiler alert; enjoy the trailer.



Make some time, save some money on a friday night(or saturday, or thursday).

Wong Kar Wai: Days of Being Wild



"I finally arrived at my mother's house, but she didn't want to see me. The maids told me she no longer lived there.
As I was leaving, I could feel a pair of eyes watching me from behind,
but I was determined not to turn around. I just wanted to find out what she looked like. Since she wouldn't give me that chance, I wouldn't give it to her either."
