Watchmen

Superhero movies are a genre that's mostly seen as big budget profits. Its target is a large audience, so easy thrills and superficial action sequences are sadly too often the main focus. For the better, the last couple of years we've seen some truly awespiring pieces in this genre, including ...

Fever Ray

I hardly enjoyed it at first, but this album has been growing on me for the past few months to a point where I find myself constantly coming back to it. It's haunting, bittersweet and every time more astonishing is its subtly swelling darkness. Fever Ray's self titled isn't Karin Dreijer ...

Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear are a Brooklyn based psychedelic quartet producing a very intimate style of art-rock, some call it chamber pop, referring to a very laid back feeling. It's sophisticated, intriguing and it constantly challenges the listener to take a closer look at their warm, lush ...

Burial & Four Tet – Wolf Club & Moth 12″

Black label, black sleeve, no info, strictly limited. It's almost as if the public isn't supposed to know about this. Thats a lie, it's both the most anticipated and hyped up electronic release from the past months. You know, it lives up. A combination of Kieran's majestic whirlwind of ...

Heima, A film by Sigur Ròs

It's hard to think of Sigur Rós as your ordinary band, first off they have their own made up language which slightly resembles Icelandic, they have a very unique way of composing and Jonsi's voice alone sets them miles apart. Heima translates to "at home", so it's self evident that their ...

M83 – “We Own the Sky” by David Altobelli

So M83 mastermind Anthony Gonzales joined heads with Pitchfork late last year to announce a Radiohead Aniboom-like music video contest for my favorite track of my last years favorite album. This submission by director David Altobelli is A-mazing and I must admit, it also has a sort of ...

  Nosaj Thing – “Us (Jon Hopkins Remix)” •
  
  Jon Hopkins’ take on Us, featured on Drift Remixed, is a lot more aggressive. The video flows through the slaughter, preparation and devouring of a meal as its high point. The cleaning in heavenly light as its downfall. Great concept as the video perfectly aligns with the ambiance of the song.

  Massive Attack – “Atlas Air” •
  
  Massive Attack videos are exactly like their music. Dark, uncompromising in style with attitude and a slightly offset integrity. Serves as a prequel to the marvelous “Splitting the Atom” video.

The Kids Are All Right (2010)

A warm satisfying piece of lightly imposed drama. A joy to watch.

I’m Still Here (2010)

The documentary felt a little monotonous , the cut and paste style could be more refined. I missed some sort of moral, but the mockumentary in itself was pretty fun.

Black Swan (2010)

Super intense melodramatic film making by one of my favs. It’s a scary nightmare condensed in one epic tale.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (2010)

It’s too much of a kids film for me to enjoy, but the animation and cinematography looks gorgeous which makes up for a lot.
