Tekkonkinkreet
TEKKONKINKREET follows Black and White, two street orphans who love their city and are fighting to keep the Yakuza, theme park developers and aliens away from what is rightfully theirs: Treasure Town.
Opposites in world views, actions and names, Black and White look after each other and keep each other in check.
Control
Based upon the book written by Ian Curtis' wife Deborah, CONTROL documents the relationships with both Curtis's wife and girlfriend, his battle with epilepsy and the quick rise to success with his band Joy Division (formerly known as Warsaw). The movie does an amazing job of turning anyone from vaguely knowing Joy Division's songs into instant fans, (the sort who bolt from the cinema to download the tracks).
Dexter
We love DEXTER.
Even as he's butchering his victims and gathering his blood-trophies, you can't help but love DEXTER. He's been the star of his own series of okayish books since 2004, but now he's the bona fide heart-throb of his own unmissable pay TV series.
DEXTER has the smartest credit sequence on TV and a high concept to match: he's a serial killer, but he only kills bad people.
Cassavetes
Le Tigre posed the question in their catchy call-and-response What's Yr Take On Cassavetes? "Misogynist? Genius? Alcoholic? Messiah?"
Sink into this newly remastered set of Cassavetes' films and you can immediately see how they're the dirty, short-black-coffee parallels to the French New Wave.
John Waters
The Prince of Puke, John Waters, keeps the laughs rolling and stomachs churning with his just-released This Filthy World on DVD. Filmed over two nights at the Harry De Jur Playhouse in NYC, it is every Waters fan's idea of heaven - a one-man stand-up show of his obsessions in grand vaudevillian fashion.
MOJO MUSIC
If, like me, you still wander down York Street hoping that Waterfront Records will suddenly reappear like Brigadoon, you need to look over at the sunny side of the street. Just down the block, Mojo Music is tucked away at basement level. Frank, who co-ran Waterfront (and helped me make my musical choices in the ‘90s) is still keeping things aside and pointing me in the right direction with claims such as "if this doesn't blow your mind you can bring it back".
