1906 San Francisco earthquake

I just spent half an hour looking at this very fascinating picture that got picked up by the 'blogosphere' on the wikimedia server. It's a hundred year old high resolution picture of San Fransisco taken right after the great 1906 earthquake(flickr). Apparently the gigantic camera was ...

Michel Gondry – The Science of Sleep

Michel Gondry is, as I would categorize Spike Jonze or Chris Cunningham, a very talented music video director that goes beyond that. He also directed films like Dave Chappelle's Block Party, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep, which I got to see this ...

It already has been a good year for music and it's getting even better. Jason Swinscoe with The Cinematic Orchestra released their follow-up to 2002's "Everyday". "Ma Fleur" was conceived as the soundtrack to an imagined film, working alongside a scriptwriter. In a similar manner TCO ...

  Kavinsky – “Nightcall”
  
  I’ve talked about the Testarossa driving French producer before, but this Daft Punk co-production lights up like fire.

  cLOUDDEAD – Dead Dogs Two (Boards Of Canada Remix)
  
  Part nostalgia, part sentiment, this track pushes my button. Even though clouddead was pronounced dead a long time ago and my love for BoC (which I refuse to believe dead) never settles, I miss great eclectic hiphop.

  Eluvium – The Motion Makes Me Last
  
  Really brilliant track and suiting visuals. Instant feel good and painfully hypnotic.

    Despite the great soundtrack, it's too generic and unoriginal with lots of clichées It's just a kid movie, still wondering why the werewolfs walk around shirtless.

    Breath-taking, always engaging, wonderful tale about a man and his relation with a dog. A great film where Lasse Hallstrom once again proves to be a worthy director of a masterpiece filled with emotion and pure sentiment. I do admit.. I balled up.

    It's a consensus among all. Astonishing, groundbreaking and just overwhelming. The only critique worth pointing out is lack of a compelling story, but that's just picking dust.
