Before Stieg Larsson (Millennium Trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo) and Jo Nesbø (Headhunters, Harry Hole novels) there was Henning Mankell. Based on an original story from immensely popular Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell, Wallander: The Revenge follows the titular chief inspector Kurt Wallander (Krister Henriksson) as he investigates crimes and solves mysteries in the deceptively dark underbelly of picturesque modern Sweden. The Wallander series (Series 2) consists of a total of thirteen 90 minute episodes, including “The Revenge”, “The Guilt”, “The Courier” and “The Thief”. The film will have a limited release in NY and LA on Friday ...

Son Raw thinks this post would make a great shlock horror film. Radio rips usually don’t merit the full-post treatment here at PotW but then again, not every radio rip contains a new Girl Unit song released on Night Slugs, his first since his anthemic Wut nearly tore a hole in the  space-time (‘ardkore) continuum.… Continue reading »

The cinematic Marvel-DC "arms race" is a bit of an illusion, since Marvel has leased their properties to many other studios, and DC's characters all exist underneath the Warner Bros. banner. Still, WB is smart enough to know that superheroes sell right now, and with the departure of "Harry Potter," the end of the Chris Nolan Batman films, and a final "The Hangover" hitting next summer, they're clearly hard-up for franchises right now. Which is why DC and the WB are partnering to bring "The Flash" "Wonder Woman" "Lobo" to the big screen, with the help of the ...

The big screen career of "Mad Men" star January Jones has been a bit of a mixed bag. She earned acclaim and attention for her turn in Tommy Lee Jones' "The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada" but has otherwise floundered. The less said about "Seeking Justice" the better. And do you remember anything about her role in "X-Men: First Class" besides the lingerie she wore? Oh yeah, she was in "Unknown" too, but again, in such a throwaway, forgettable role it's not a shock it hasn't stuck in the memory. But perhaps this next endeavor will set things ...

Been grooving to these all week and yes I know I've been absent but a boys gotta eat. Check these out while you wait for a fresh update.

This week, on Compost Black Label Sessions, residents Thomas Herb and Show B are back with a great mix of techno, house and disco sounds. DJ Harvey, The Revenge, DJ Sneak and more.

I want to introduce you all to Hot Pink Delorean, a trio of DJs from Boston that we need to keep an eye on.  I had the opportunity to see them perform at U Street Music Hall in DC back in December and it was one of the more entertaining shows that I’ve been to in recent memory.  Before going to the show I had never heard of this crew, and I honestly had no idea what to expect.  To my surprise, they tore shit down and put on an amazing show. Since the show, I’ve been waiting ...

The return of Whitney Houston and the revenge of Madonna

The return of Whitney Houston and the revenge of Madonna

A few nights back my wife (aka Dragon D) and I took some time from our usually busy schedules to catch David Fincher’s adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo . As we both read the source material, the film seemed like the perfect choice to discuss for our latest “In Conversation” piece. Though we both read the first book in Stieg Larsson’s trilogy, our overall experience with the trilogy has been vastly different. I have read the first book and watched the first two Swedish films ( Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire ). My wife, on ...

Trond Nicolaisen, manager and co-songwriter of the Norwegian metal project TOMORROW'S OUTLOOK, has issued the following update: "Late 2008/early 2009 we recorded 'Red Sharks' for an upcoming CRIMSON GLORY tribute album called 'The Revenge Of Azrael'.

I was looking through the tag cloud yesterday and no man has featured quite as many times on SlothBoogie as The Revenge, with the exception of maybe Greg Wilson. But its not hard to see why with the string of Original and Remix bombs he’s had over the past couple of years. As if on [...]
