MediaWhore’s Best of 2009

MediaWhore’s Best of 2009

Two-thousand-and-nine, a year in which many of us expected to be in the middle of Space War I, or locked into a huge battle with the Decepticons of Cybertron. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I want my fucking jetpack or flying car now! Well, at least was a great year for […]

 

Steam sale ends this weekend

Steam sale ends this weekend

As Hellen Keller once said, “All good things must come to an end”. Well, this holiday Steam sale has not been a good thing, it has been an amazing thing. Ghostbusters for $7? Indigo Prophecy for a little over 3 bucks? Arkham Asylum, plus 19 other games, all for $50? I’m not sure how Valve […]

25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 25

25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 25

Finally the day has come for adaptation 25, and I chose to make this one extra special.  Before this experiment, I had seen maybe a total of 4 film adaptation of A Christmas Carol, and The Muppet Christmas Carol was always one I kept coming back to.  The blend of Michael Caine and an assortment […]

25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 20

25 Days of Christmas (Carol): Day 20

Appropriately, adaptation 20 features our good friend Alastair Sims reprises the role that made him famous twenty years earlier, in 1971’s animated feature A Christmas Carol.  I’m surprised this late into the experiment to make this statement: this is the best adaptation I’ve seen yet.  The animation has a strange feel to it that I […]

 

Mornin’ Cup o’ British

It’s Wednesday and to help you get over the hump, here is Manic Street Preachers’ A Design For Life, from the 1996 album Everything Must Go. Again, Manic Street Preachers are another band I grew up with (my Dad is a big music fan), and while they aren’t that well known outside of the United […]

 

Mornin’ Cup o’ Movie Soundtracks – Supplemental

What’s this you ask?  A bonus episode of Mornin’ Cup O’ Movie Soundtracks.  Looking back at my choices for the week I realised I was missing something very important, a montage sequence! Films like American Pie and Can’t Hardly Wait were films that shaped my upbringing and like most teen films featured one thing common, […]

 

Mornin’ Cup o’ Movie Soundtracks

The Bourne Trilogy is probably the best series of action films this decade, director Paul Greengrass did a fantastic job of making spies relevant again by making Jason Bourne the anti Bond, so relevant in fact that when MGM got round to rebooting the Bond franchise with Daniel Craig at the helm they tried to incorporate as many Bourne […]

 

Mornin’ Cup o’ Movie Soundtracks

I warned you that you hadn’t seen the last of The Cinematic Underground this week and I wasn’t lying.  Today’s song is Emily’s theme from Rian Johnson’s debut film Brick which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Brick is a film noir set in an American high school where Brendan (Gordon-Levitt) is trying to track down the murderers of his […]

 

Mornin’ Cup o’ Movie Soundtracks

If you’re a regular reader of the site you may recall that I loved Marc Webb’s sleeper hit of the year (500) Days of Summer, so much so I saw it at the cinema twice and I’m desperate to see it again. The song I’ve chosen is the 1980’s hit You Make My Dreams by Hall & […]

 

Mornin’ Cup o’ Movie Soundtracks

Day two in our movie soundtrack special and it’s time for the magic of John Williams in Steven’s Spielberg’s classic dinosaur movie Jurassic Park.  The song I’ve chosen is Welcome to Jurassic Park and is probably one of the most recognisable in cinematic history.   Building up from a slow start as Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and the others approach […]

 

Mornin’ Cup o’ Movie Soundtracks

This has been a long time coming but for this week only Morning Cup o’ Music is focusing solely on some of my favourite movie soundtracks from movies I love. This might be a score or song from a soundtrack that I just love but I really hope you enjoy some of the tracks I’ve got picked out for […]

Morning Cup o’ Alternative

Here’s a song that has been somewhat lost over time, even though it won a Grammy Award.  A great song stuck in a shitty movie, Batman and Robin.  “The End is the Beginning is the End” later resurfaced in yet another superhero movie in the trailer for Watchmen, with altered lyrics, a slower pace, and […]

 

Youth in Revolt – Trailer

Could Youth in Revolt be the movie that finally Michael Cera play somebody other than himself?  Well it’s either this or Scott Pilgrim but Youth in Revolt certainly looks like it’s gong to allow Cera to play somebody a little bit different to the nice guy he normally plays.  Based on the classic novel by C. D. […]
