Seth Rogen + Megan Fox = hilarious moment!

Even big stars like Seth Rogen have embarrassingly awkward High School moments. Seth is on Jimmy Kimmel talking about a little incident he had involving one Megan Fox on the show previously...and Jimmy is happy enough to replay the footage for him!

Engineers - Three Fact Fader

This new album has been 5 years in the making for these nugazers. Mixed by Ken Thomas of M83 and Sigur Ros fame, this album is highly recommended (by me).

Sufjan Stevens - The BQE

Sufjan Stevens latest adventure is a film about the the expressway that connects the Queens and Brooklyn boroughs of New York. The subsequent soundtrack will of course be scored by Stevens himself. There's nothing about Stevens prior output that would make me doubt that this wouldn't be successful, but this teaser is definitely odd. Its out in October and will premier at the Tribeca film fest.





Alice in Wonderland

It seems Tim Burton is the perfect fit for this adaptation. Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter can't hurt either.

Envy - A Dead Sinking Story

I recently re-discovered this band. They are from Japan and sing/scream in Japanese, but this does nothing to delute this album's power. Has all the emotional building of post-rock, the edge of hardcore, and a little screamo mixed in for good measure. Not much like it these days, maybe ISIS is something comparable. If you like this check out their previous effort 'Insomniac Doze' for more goodness.





Foreign Born - Person to Person

Great music to pass those summer days.

Book of Eli

This post-apocalyptic film could be the role Denzel Washington has been waiting for. Something to put him back on the map. Not that he hasn't had his share of decent flix (American Gangster in 07, Inside Man in 06) in the past few years, but he seems to have lost some of his relevancy of late. He's a good actor that could take a fun concept about a sword wielding hero wandering a war-torn america protecting a book that has the key to saving humanity, for example, and turn it into something special. The trailer has atmosphere to spare and Gary Oldman is certainly a welcome face. Check it out in HD below.

District 9

The new District 9 trailer reveals more action, and more importantly more action involving big robots. This is starting to look like the movie Terminator Salvation should have been.

Carriers

I'm really syked about this movie. This trailer looks amazing! Very much a survivalist post-apocalyptic film. Starring Chris Pine, the new Star Trek's captain Kirk, this film looks gritty and quite frightening.

Surrogates

Showing shades of The Matrix, Total Recall, Terminator (sadly the same director as T3), I, Robot and countless other films, Surrogates story has been done before, but its robots, and its Bruce Willis with a wig on, so I'll give it a shot!

Daybreakers

Ok this movie looks pretty great. Ethan Hawke? Willem Dafoe? Sam Neill? In the future almost everyone on earth is a Vampire and the last humans are harvested for blood...but what happens when the blood runs out? Willem Dafoe and his crossbow carrying crew fight for the human race.
