<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 14pt;"> Prometheus was an 8<sup>th</sup> century Greek myth
constructed by the poet Hesiod as the underdog to challenge Zeus’s omnipotence
known to his mates as “Father of gods and men” to every one else ruler of Mount
Olympus and god of the sky. Prometheus to his eternal regret saw fit to play a
trick on Zeus, which handed meat back to man and the bones to the gods so when
Zeus in his rage hid the fire like you do when some jumped up little up start
takes the piss out of your omniscience and omnipotence “ I am the ruler of gods
and man that cheeky little bleeder going to get such a slap” so you can imagine
his reaction when Prometheus found the fire and gave it back to man, so Zeus
did what any self respecting god would do and chained him to a rock for
eternity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 14pt;">The modern re-invention of Prometheus was
through the NASA space project and the finding of volcanic rock formations and
active volcanoes on Jupiter enter the daddy of sci-fi Ridley Scott with his
version of Prometheus this looks like being the biggest film of the year and
with the pre-release hype already looks like being a sci-fi classic on a pare
with the neo-noir Blade Runner released exactly thirty years ago doubt that’s a
coincidence but who cares because no one understands the sci-fi genera better than
Ridley Scott he understands the need for strong story lines an emotional
connection to the character whether that is one of sympathy or repugnance, he wants the audience to go on a
journey with his characters hence his always brilliant trailer teasers and the
trailers for Prometheus are no exception.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is possibly the best example of digital hologram technology. It felt almost as if he was there at the 2012 Coachella, this is not the first time hologram technology has been used on such a large scale as the Gorillaz pioneered it a good seven years ago and Japanese pop groups have been playing with the concept for years. That aside I don't want to jump on the neo-necromancy band wagon as this form of tribute looks like becoming a permeant fixture especially after such a great display at this years Coachella which is famous for its ground breaking mixture of music art and multimedia interactivity. so if you couldn't get to Indio check out the performance.</span><br />

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13pt;">I got into the artist musician and filmmaker Grimes around 2010, with the Geidi Primes album, which was
originally released on cassette in 2010 through </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbutus_Records"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1347a8; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13pt; text-decoration: none;">Arbutus
Records</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13pt;">. Later in the same
year, Grimes released her second album, Halfaxa,
which I snap up just as quick telling any one who would listen just how great
she is. In 2011, Grimes released a split 12” with D’eon titled Darkbloom this was a harder find as I
am based in sunny Manchester but thank god for the internet. Grimes got busy
again in 2012, with the release of her third album Visions in January just
giving me chance to save up my pennies. This time a more melody driven mature
sounding album. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: red; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large; line-height: 19pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13pt;">The album Vision has been lorded over from Canada to
Cambridge. Her song "Oblivion" from the album received five star
reviews across the board. Grimes described the emotions behind the writing of
her new album in a recent interview as being "equally enjoyable and tortuous but I feel like the fact that it
was really hard was part of the reason that it was really good, you know? I
definitely look back on that time with fond memories, even though I remember
crying and being like “I hate everything!” at the time! (Laughs) But I recorded
it in my room in Montreal and it was a really good way to work”.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: red; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-large; line-height: 19pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Century Gothic'; font-size: 13pt;">As a fan I don’t care how
tortuous she finds it as long as she keeps writing, Grimes is the cool thing to
come out of Canada since, oh well Avril Lavigne, maybe not lets forget the
Canadian link just check out the record.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
seminal 1950’s beat classic ‘ON THE ROAD’ has been adapted for the screen by
Jose Rivera and directed by Brazilian Walter Salles (motorcycle diaries),
executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola. Starring British born Sam Riley
(Control), Kristen Stewart (Twilight saga, The Runaways), Garrett Hedlund
(Tron) and Kirsten Dunst (Melancholia) Tom Sturridge (The Boat That Rocked).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In
the first completed adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s ‘On the road’. It has long
been said the book was inspired by a rambling thousand-word letter from close
friend Neal Cassady (author of The first third). Based on a sort of truth
turned examination into the creative process, Kerouac made notes as he went on his
expansive road trip, turning his notes into spontaneous prose and unconscious
streams of thought which played out like a John Coltrane jazz improvisation. He
wrote the novel in three weeks (almost as long as one Coltranes' tracks) typing
continuously onto a 120ft sheet of paper it was this process of working that
became synonymous with Kerouac’s work. And a blue print for a generation of
artists from poets to filmmakers the work of John Cassavetes being a prime
example of beat movie making. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

a quick breakdown to wet your appetite Julian (Ryan Gosling) runs a Thai boxing
club in Bangkok, where he escaped to ten years earlier after killing a cop. The
club is a front a very organised drug operation, even though he has the respect
of the underworld he feels empty a shell of the man he once was.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So
when his brother murders a prostitute and a retired cop Chang (also known as
the Angel of Vengeance) exacts his own kind of vengeance by allowing the father
of the dead prostitute to kill her killer after which he then restores order by chopping
off the fathers’ hand. So when Julian’s mother Jenna (Kristin Scott Thomas) the
matriarchal figure of the criminal dynasty orders him to find his brothers
killer his obsessions turn into soul searching and the search for spiritual
release so Julian challenges Chang to a boxing match which Chang goes onto win.
And there sets the stage for a brutal trail of vengeance by a furious mother.
Will Julian find redemption or will mummy get revenge? Remember there are

David Brown an aggressive chauvinist misanthrope exhibiting sexist, homophobic
and racist tendencies somewhat clashes with his attraction to black women and
his sometime hedonistic outings’ and the emotional support he gains from his
gay daughter. Brown is an un-sympathetic and brutal character on the surface
but thanks to Ellroy’s writing he leaves an open window into the complexity of Browns so even
though you hate what he represents you may find yourself sympathising with his
predicament.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

example was his drug fuelled bender the vivid colour saturation the intoxicating lighting and ripping sound design layered with the visual intensity of the club

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shot in Sertao the arid north-eastern region of Brazil BLACK
GOD WHITE DEVIL tells the story of Manuel a poverty stricken cowhand hoping for
a miracle, his life takes a turn for the worst when he kills his corrupt an
abusive boss in a fit of rage.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">His actions force him to flee his home after his boss’s
henchmen come after him. After his attempted capture goes horrible wrong including
the death of his mother he tells his wife “We have nothing to take but our
destiny” and so their journey begins.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> As outlaws they
soon join up with self-proclaimed saint Sebastian who condones violence in the
name of god, and preached some very disturbing doctrines followed blindly by
his parishioners. Manuel soon becomes his lieutenant carrying out his every
whim in the vain hope he will one day be blessed when they reach their promised
land. A land only his wife believes dose not exist, her scepticism leads her to
be ostracized by the not just Sebastian’s followers but also by Manuel who is
compliant in the sacrifice of their baby son by Sebastian to rid Rosa of the
devil. This single act of infanticide then sets off chain events that lead
Manuel and his wife Rosa having to flee yet again when the assassin Corisco is hired
by a senior priest to assassinate Sebastian he accepts the job with a very
heavy heart, as he himself holds Sebastian in high esteem. But when Corisco
turns up to find this great man already dead he massacres the camp and turns
his attention to seeking out Manuel, pursuing him and his wife across the arid
deserts of Brazil. Not alone for long
they seek shelter in the arms of gang leader Antonio and his heavily depleted
gang. This is where the WHITE DEVIL in the title comes into play as Antonio
changes Manuel’s name to Satan. As he battles with his faith Manuel moves into
a life of crime as a member of Antonio’s gang who wages war on the wealthy
landowners viewing their crimes as part of the fight against the ruling classes
in the name of the oppressed, with Corisco in hot pursuit Manuel lives in
constant fear of capture.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a visual experience the film takes its style from the
images of the Mexican Mural Movement the public arts movement from the1920’s
lead by Jose Orozco and Diego Rivera whose murals and paintings inspired by the
Russian socialist realism movement went on to document a generation. Glauber
Rocha use of these paintings as visual blueprints married with a washed out hand
held camera with its disjointed framing, experimental use of lighting,
extensive use of symbolism (the rotting horse carcass in the opening shots) the
most obvious use this visual prop was in the boulder scene where the messianic
preacher Sebastian has him carry a boulder up a hill, this scene is clearly
based on the Greek myth of Sisyphus who was condemned to a life of conducting
the meaningless task of pushing a boulder up a mountain then down again. Rocha
has taken the absurdity of the story and applied it to the question of belief and
what makes someone follow someone or something blindly with no real end in
sight just the repetitive act of pushing a metaphorical boulder up and down a
hill searching for meaning and clarity. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This idea is brought sharper into focus with the amazing folk
sound track with the folk singer acting as a narrator as he lyrically charts
the fortunes Manuel and Rosa and their journey to find their destiny. With the
stirring melodies of Bach the atmospheric sound design which detaches and
reattaches to the image, and on many occasions allowing sentences to just hang
in air. The beauty of this style is what feels like out of sequence sound
editing is in fact the abstract sound mixes and the magnification of the
ambient sound married with direct sound that gives the film a surrealist bend
that intensifies the spiritual elements of the film eluding to emotions that
couldn’t be reproduced in pictures. These creative touches became the staple
diet of what became know as CINEMA NOVO. A Brazilian filmmaking movement who
were heavily influenced by the Italian Neorealist cinema (which was also a
strong creative influence for the French New Wave film movement) lead by the
great Federico Fellini and Roberto Rossellini where religious humanism
communism and poetic realism feature heavily in their work. These themes make
regular appearances in the CINEMA NOVE films within a Brazilian and Portuguesa
context. Many of Glauber Rocha films deal with class conflict and social
inequality mixing none verbal representation with cultural symbolism, the
brooding man with the silent women looking on with a powerless sense of
frustration. Rocha’s follow up to BLACK GOD WHITE DEVIL was ANTONIO DAS MORTES in
1969 also known as THE DRAGON OF EVIL AGAINST THE WARRIOR SAINT. A continuation
of the historical tale of class conflict set against the arid backdrop of the
Brazilian Sertao in theatre of absurdities.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>This incredible first feature from writer/director Sean Durkin tells the story of Martha (Elizabeth Olsen) who's story begins at the end of her ordeal as we watch Martha escaping from what looks to be a rural commune, which as the story unfolds is revealed to be an oppressive cult where young girls are brought in and then enslaved by the male leaders limited to one meal a day and sexually abused on regular bases this regressive cult has damaged our protagonist to an irreconcilable degree in desperation she seeks shelter and hopefully protection from her sister Lucy (Sarah Paulson) and we the viewers are asked to piece the past together.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The beauty of this film is that it goes about telling this very horrific story in such a quiet an understated way, so rather than hitting you in the face with the horror of it slowly peels away at it layer by layer showing you the grooming process in a believable context answering those question that we all ask ourselves when we read about these said same cults. How could they have been so gullible? This disquieting feel runs through the film played out most convincingly between the two sisters. Lucy's vapid border line obsessive compulsive, self analytical preening and her emotionally stunted materialistic career obsessed husband Ted (Hugh Dancy) clashes with Martha's ideology developed over her time in the cult as she constantly references ex-cult members and her experiences at the cult as if it were some kind of crutch to help her cope with life out side the cult. As she struggles to integrate into the outside world and her new life with her sister the slow release of her abuse at the hands cult starts to manifest its self in her behavior and her moods become more erratic from lying on the bed as her sisters bed while her sister and partner copulated beneath the sheets through to bouts of incontinence, as the story reveals how she became complicate in the grooming process showing the hunted becomes the hunter the film cleverly calls Martha's victim status into question as she herself begins to seem unsure of what is real and what is imagined it calls into question the validity of her recollections.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Patrick (John Hawkes) the cult leader is cleverly underplayed to a powerfully convincing degree as an abuser he comes across as seducer mesmerizing while in the same breath terrifying, controlled and restricting but still coming across as freeing. By crafting Patrick in such away the director makes it impossible for you completely make up your mind about him as the subtle abuse is mixed with the (the changing of her name to Marcy May) overt acts of sexual abuse and by doing so making for a very ambiguous ending.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Rumour has it Matthew Broderick going to reprise his role as Ferris Bueller the iconic slacker created by John Huges. Produced for a comparatively small amount by todays standers it went on to be highest grossing film of 1986. Many have tried to replicate the Ferris formula but with little success, if anyone remembered the television spin off with Jennifer Anistion best we forget, I can't see anyone attempting it any day soon. The cleverer teasers by HONDA have done exactly what they were supposed to tease a generation who grew up in the 80's and now have teenagers of their own. The 80's and John Huges invented the teenager so why not take one of the most recognizable characters of that period and put him in advert and ask Todd Phillips of "The Hangover" fame to direct it. The advert will mimic famous scenes from the film and is due to be showcased on the night of the Super Bowl. Who knows if this goes well next year we could have Molly Ringwald advertising Stannah Stair Lifts.</b></span><br />

They have been around for years but the culture surrounding them has grown exponentially. It was initially a backlash against the digital dominance of the photographic culture both professional and amateur, but has since developed into an invaluable creative tool, the images created by Lomos every one unique due to the cameras mechanics are constantly being recreated within film and advertising if your into film and you haven't already get your hands on a LOMO and you may never go near another digital still camera again, okay maybe a slight exaggeration but you will fall in love with them I have.</b></span><br />

A reclusive anti-commercial French artist who uses the stencil medium to create his work the detail employed to create these characters takes his work beyond that of stencil or graff art.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is possibly a tenuous link to the last review but military theme seems to be the dominant creative trigger at the moment, with a constant stream of inspiration whether it be in film, theater, art, music or fashion it's the gift that never stops giving from a creative perspective obviously.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Ralph Fiennes brings Shakespeare to the screen for his directorial debut which may come as no surprise to many who are familiar with his work away from Harry Potter. What would have been a surprise? If he had decided to make an all guns blazing action CGI weapon laden robot army gunning down wizards competing for mythical lands with a well oiled Gerard Butler leading the charge, now that would have been a surprise but I debut Kenneth Branagh would be happy? So for him to bring Coriolanus to the screen for the first time was a brave one like most modern adaptions of Shakespeare screen writer John Logan has applied a contemporary narrative to the play flattening the complexities of the original text and simplifying story the, taking the war and political aspects of the play and playing it out through the media giving it a populist spin by using real life news anchorman JON SNOW (playing himself) as a unintruesive narrator of sorts. This plot device came in handy when pacifying an increasingly annoying girl who felt the need to be spoon fed the entire film by her partner who was equally uniformed and even going on to tell her 'I think their in Afghanistan'. Ralph Fiennes plays down the theatricals as the brilliant Roman general Caius Martius Coriolanus ( I had hoped for a more bombastic and arrogant portrayal of Coriolanus taking on board the historic as well as the Shakespearian text) and arch nemesis and enemy of Rome Aufidius played by</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b> the aforementioned Gerard Butler. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The film has a linear flow to it moving from the conquering hero, enter the scheming opposition of Brutus (James Nesbitt) and Sicinius (Paul Jesson) fueling a popular up rising that results in the exile from Rome of Coriolanus. Wrapped only in his blanket of vengeance he seeks out Aufidius, trekking through a depressing Serbian landscape to Volscia an unrecognizable Coriolanus offers his life to spite the country that banished him, but Aufidius takes pity on him and allows him to lead the assault on Rome. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Jon Snow pops up to warn us of the approaching Volscian troops lead by Coriolanus, the fallen general rises like a Phoenix from the ashes on route to take back land that abandoned him as the army fails to withstand his approach and the politicians run scared their last hope is his mother ( just think how many wars could have been avoided if the power that be had just sent in their mums) yes his mother volumnia who persuades him to dissuade from destroying Rome. The role of Volumnia is devoured by Vanessa Redgrave the harsh love she exhibits is uncomfortable but very watchable both hers and Brian (Man hunter) Cox as Menenius are the standout performances in what I predict to be the first of many attempts to reinterpret this play. As much as I loved the film there were a few niggles I need to get off my chest the supposed riots felt bit subdued I've seen more violence seen at a guest designer sales at H&M and the Jeremy Kyle style uprising in the TV studio was a little jarring. </b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HAYWIRE is Steven Soderbergh's latest offering with his lead actress plucked from the world of mixed martial art we've not got one eye on oscar and another on the acceptance speech but what we do have is a female action hero who could give JASON STATHAM a run for his money. Gina Carano plays Mallory a former marine turned private black-op agent working for the government. Unfortunately for Mallory her boss and ex-boyfriend Kenneth (Ewan Mcgregor) has more twists than a Curly Wurly and so starts the adrenalin pumped head rush that is HAYWIRE the monosyllabic Gina Carano is totally believable as she kicks, punches and shoots her way through the film from Barcelona to New Mexico. Performing some breathtaking stunts along the way the roof chase in Dublin was one of many elaborate and memorable action sequences as was the neck breaking choreography in her with fight with Paul (Michael scene stealing Fassbender) the man given the job of disposing of her unlucky. With an all star all male cast Gina Carano more than held her own, the subdued cinematography was a little distracting and some of the fight and action scenes could have been cut a bit quicker JOHN WOO style but apart from that it was a good bit of action candy.

He is a confidant, charismatic self assured successful good looking New Yorker who exudes charm too much charm to be honest, maybe that could be his problem an inability to connect beyond the superficial so only able to project an unrealistic elevated sense of himself. </b></span></div>

My routine consists of waking up masturbating, going online searching for porn the more deprived the better, more masturbation, go to work, more masturbate (in the staff toilets as the office is open plan). Get on my computer at work look for more porn, bastards have taken it away to get it clean, more masturbate get stressed more masturbate. Then go for a drink after work pull a pretty blonde dump my junk in a public place just for the frill of it, put her in a taxi, then go on the hunt for more fresh meat.
