Many people will tell you that "The Paperboy" -- based on Pete Dexter's novel, brought to the screen by "Precious" director Lee Daniels -- is a trash masterpiece, an instant camp classic, so bad it's good. These people, these critics, are simply not to be trusted about any question of judgment for a long time based on that half-hearted ironic "endorsement" of one of the worst films of the year, never mind at Cannes. Like the patina on a bronze roof, there are two ways to acquire trashterpiece/camp/so-bad-it's-good status. One is through time, and patience, as entropy ...

Oh Hollywood. Just because a film is classic it doesn't mean it has to be remade, ever. What with Back To The Future remake rumours, a failed Akira attempt (thank god...) and a constant machine remaking any film that isn't American, Hollywood are digging themselves a big hole and to top it off, they've got Tom Cruise in for the latest one. That's all very well but, as Empire pointed out, who's going to step up to play the one no one remembers (Brad Dexter's character)? And, let's be honest, who's going ...

"Pronto, ma chi è?" Gone (USA 2012) Regia : Heitor Dhalia Cast : Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Carpenter, Wes Bentley, Daniel Sunjata, Emily Wickersham, Katherine Moennig, Sebastian Stan, Joel David Moore, Sam Upton Genere : bel film di merda Se ti piace guarda anche : Faces in the Crowd , Dream House,  La scomparsa di Alice Creed , The Vanishing - Scomparsa (uscita italiana non ancora prevista) Amanda Seyfried non mi piace particolarmente. Me la inchiappetterei a sangue, ma non mi piace particolarmente. Se però voglio vedermi un bel di merda, allora so che Amanda Seyfried è una buona garanzia in proposito. E con “bel film di merda ...

Remember Lee Daniels juxataposing a rape scene with the carving of a turkey in "Precious"? Yeah, subtlety isn't exactly the director's strong point, showy, sub-film-student directorial flourishes having tarnished his previous film, and the helmer is at it again with the uneccessary iMovie transitions in this latest clip from "The Paperboy," which showcases the stellar cast of Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron and David Oyelowo. Based on a Pete Dexter novel, story follows respected journalist Ward James (McConaughey) and his brother Jack (Efron), a college dropout, as they investigate the possible wrongful conviction of a death row...

We just got off the phone with singer Dexter Holland from The Offspring and he told us when we can expect to see them in Australia.

Continuing our series of monthly columns, John Fordham picks out his musical milestones from the past few weeks. Tell us in the comments section below if there's things we've missed, plus what you'd like to see John covering in next month's column 1) An anniversary: Herbie Hancock's Takin' Off Thanks to those who posted comments on last month's Take Five – including nilpferd's suggestion that Herbie Hancock's 1962 Blue Note debut Takin' Off would make a fitting 50th anniversary classic for May. I couldn't agree more. Chicago-raised Hancock was just 22 when ...

Das Demograffics-Video zum Song »How Long« aus ihrem Album »Cheese«, zu dem Beat Fight-King Dexter den Beat beisteuerte, feiert heute Premiere. Passend dazu gibt es den Artikel aus der JUICE #142 über das bayrische Duo, das im August gemeinsam mit Roger auf Tour sein wird. Ob man Achim Schneemann nun kennt als Demograffics-Mastermind, als Maniac [...]

It's been a terrible week for music. Less than a week ago the Beastie Boys' MCA passed away followed by the news that Death Grips have cancelled all tour dates to work on a new album. Hopefully a trip to Houses ' debut London performance in the fashionable hangout that is the Lexington will lift my spirits. Though numbers are less than amiable to begin with this does not dampen the duo's mood who happily talk and pose for photos with fans. This is a band which truly enjoy the company of their fans unlike many bands who seem ...

Death Games - Arena (USA 2011) Titolo originale : Arena Regia : Jonah Loop Cast : Kellan Lutz, Samuel L.

Vediamo invece il caso di un film tamarro. Vero, sporco e cattivo. Ci troviamo pur sempre di fronte a una porcata di proporzioni notevoli, di quelle che persino lo Schwarzy ...

Of all the movies that start to unspool at the Cannes Film Festival next week, perhaps the biggest question mark for us is "The Paperboy." Based on the novel by Pete Dexter, it seems to be, on the surface at least, a crime procedural that might make a decent amount of money, but wouldn't necessarily be the kind of fare that traditionally ends up in the Official Selection at Cannes. The cast is led by a number of actors -- Matthew McConaughey, John Cusack, Zac Efron -- who in recent years have found critical acclaim elusive, along with a lead actress ...

When reading the name “oOoOO” phonetically, it obviously sounds ghostly. Something wicked this way comes with Our Loving Is Hurting Us, then. oOoOO, apparently pronounced as a not-drawn-out “oh”, is the moniker of San Franciscan producer Christopher Dexter Greenspan, whose brand of DIY electronic pop is more associated with witch-house than chillwave. As oOoOO, Greenspan [...]

Have you ever seen the rain es una de las canciones más conocidas de Creedence Clearwater Revival .

*Dexter Holland*’s awful white-man dreads is the worst thing about the album *‘Smash’* which is arguably the punk-rockers best album. With the melody led from the bass and the imposing thick guitar sound joining in the chorus, it follows a simple melody but less really is more for *The Offspring*...
