Valhalla Rising - Images
2009-10-01 00:54:00

Mads Mikkelsen (Le Chiffre in Casino Royale) stars as Harald.Refn is best known for the cult Pusher trilogy and more recently directing Bronson.Mute slave Harald escapes his Scottish masters with the help of 10 year old Are, torturing and killing them before joining a band of dispossessed Vikings. They go to sea, determined to return to Scandinavia to fight the spread of Christianity, but for Harald the journey is also a personal one to discover his own origins. Caught in a terrible storm, the group drift for 40 days until, on the verge of death, they find themselves in a freshwater river.

Panoramic Holiday Projector
2009-09-30 15:39:00
There's surely no more chipper a way to show just how excited you feel about annual events than plastering it all over your house, often much to the disgust of your neighbours. But why should you limit the joviality/annoyance merely to Christmas? Well with the Panoramic Holiday Projector you needn't! For a mere $79.95 you can give them all something to talk about on Christmas, Halloween, birthdays, and indeed any event you feel is deserving of that special touch. The outdoor-use projector works up to 35-feet away and comes with 10 multi-seasonal slides. Go on, lower the tone (and possibly house prices) over at Brookstone, it's a world of innovation.

Nuit Noire - Trailer
2009-09-30 02:52:00
Trailer for Olivier Smolders Nuit Noire: Oscar, a conservator at the Natural Sciences Museum, passes the days exercising his passion for studying insects; if only there still were days. As long as people can remember, the sun only releases a few pathetic rays for fifteen seconds before noon. The rest of the time, the world is plunged into a night without end, a permanent eclipse. Coming home after work, Oscar finds an African woman in his bed. Suffering from a mysterious and incurable disease, she seems to have come to his place to die. Trapped between desire and repulsion, Oscar gradually abandons his life to terrifying phantoms.The long awaited feature length debut film of talented short filmmaker Olivier Smolders (see also Spiritual Exercises DVD), Nuit Noire (Black Night) is mysterious, ghostly, technically impeccable, and continuously bathed in a magical, surreal light.

Mar Azul House By BAK Architects
2009-09-28 19:19:00
If you go down to the woods today you're sure of a big surprise... for nestled in the forest at the beachside resort of Mar Azul, Buenos Aires, lies BAK Architects' Casa Mar Azul; the environmentally low-impact summer house that's anything but. Built in 2004, this striking retreat was created to fulfil a brief, the inherent ethic of which was to design a low-budget home of low impact upon the landscape and to consequently require little maintenance. Reclaimed materials and a great consideration towards light, both natural and synthetic, bore Casa Mar Azul; the realisation of architecture at once blending with and yet punctuating its natural environment.  Photos by Gustavo Sosa Pinilla (see more at www.digsdigs.com)  Via: Modern House Design Read More tags: eco friendly, house, modern house

First trailer for writer / director Michael J. Bassett's adaption of Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane. James Purefoy stars as the puritan avenge,r alonside a cast that includes Rachel Hurd-Wood, Max von Sydow and Pete Postlethwaite.Kanes's past is only vaguely hinted at in the original tales, but Bassets script gives Kane an origin story: When the story opens Kane is a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth I fighting in Africa, but after an encounter with a demon, The Reaper, he realizes he must seek redemption or have his soul damned to Hell. He returns to England and lives a life of peace, converting to puritanism, but soon the doings of an evil sorcerer upset his plans and he must take up arms again.The trailer comes courtesy of IGN.I recommend grabbing a copy of Del Rey's "The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane" which collects the original Kane works if you have not read any of the Kane stories before.

District 13: Ultimatum - Trailer
2009-09-17 18:35:00
UK trailer for Patrick Alessandrin's District 13: Ultimatum. The sequel to the rather fun "District 13" once again stars Cyril Raffaelli (Live Free Or Die Hard) and David Belle (Babylon A.D.) and is produced by Luc Besson.It's 2013, three years after the events of the first movie, and it appears that despite government promises nothing has changed in District 13, the racially charged ghetto notorious for its gangs, drug dealers and killers. A consortium of corrupt cops and government officials is conspiring to cause civil unrest within D13 with a view to finding an excuse to raze the area and cash in on its redevelopment. When a local kid accidentally uncovers the plot, the district's resident idealist Leito (David Belle) and elite law-enforcer Damien Tomaso (Cyril Raffaelli) are reunited in a bid to bring peace to the troubled neighbourhood and to expose the conspiracy before a proposed air-strike can destroy the area Leito calls home.District 13: Ultimatum...

Camper Kart By Kevin Cyr
2009-09-15 18:12:00
Artist, designer and all-round appreciater of the shabbier beauties of this world, Kevin Cyr brings us Camper Kart - "an experiment in autonomy." Investigating "habitats and housing; recycling and ecology; exploration and mobility" such as it is, Camper Kart is quite the artistic project of cultural relevance. Not only is this collapsible camper a unique autonomous mobile abode, the thoughtful Mr. Cyr has included in his design a consideration towards reading material and the alleviation of phobic distress. Much like Murray Siple's Carts of Darkness, Cyr's work explores our relationship with that which we discard within our society of wastefulness, and that faction of life for whom an icon of consumption becomes the emblem of ostracism. And just like Siple's documentary, Camper Kart could well become this year's sleeper hit. Camper Kart, you are so beautiful...to me.  Read More

Gaia Phone Concept By Ahmad Bittar
2009-09-14 20:40:00
Industrial designer Ahmad Bittar has come up with an interesting, if slightly worrying, handset concept that combines (or should that be exploits?) our increasingly emotional bond with our technology. Behold Gaia Phone , the emo phone of the (possibly not too distant) future that's like a party in your hand, if indeed you have enough friends for a party. The all-singing, all-dancing Gaia Phone comes alive with all the excitement of a well-adjusted puppy when in receipt of updates or contact from loved ones, friends or family. Of course, if you keep your friends close but your enemies closer, Gaia will keep you informed via the glow that keeps you in the know. Yes, the more contact you have with a person, the brighter the light, which will probably compound the misery of a break-up as that light will, quite literally, go out of your life. And so, sort of an ironic product for Generation Geek, as hermitic life sets in and the wide circle of friends sl...

H

Someone is killing women, most of whom have the connection of unwanted pregnancies. The vicious nature of the crimes and the choice of victims matches the M.O. of notorious Korean serial killer, 26 year old Shin-Hyun. The problem is Shin-Hyun has already handed himself in and admitted to 6 killings prier to this recent spate. Hard-bitten female Detective Kim Mi Yun, played by Yum Jung-ah (A Tale of Two Sisters, Three... Extremes,) and her new partner Detective Kang Tae Hyun race against time to solve the murders and put a stop to the horrific killings. Jong-hyuk Lee’s debut feature film H is one of those twisty serial killer flicks with an obvious nod to David Fincher’s ever popular Seven. A team of detectives follow a twisty trail as they track down what appears to be one or maybe more copycat serial killers that are using the exact modus operandi as deadly lady killer and all-round twisted young psychopath, Shin Hyun (Cho Seung-woo). New boy Kang Tae, teams up with the...

Cjamango
2009-08-15 12:36:00
Sergio Corbucci's Django revolutionised the Spaghetti Western genre in many ways. The low-budget retelling of Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars – itself a remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo – ramped up the violence, the amorality, the bloodletting and the insanity factor to an unprecedented scale, spawning a glut of rip-offs, cash-ins and unofficial sequels of varying degrees of quality. It also, quite unintentionally, began a trend for titular heroes whose names ended in the letter 'o' and when said quickly enough could possibly be mistaken for Django.There was Anthony Steffen - the Spaghetti Western standard-bearer, himself no stranger to playing Django - starring as the main man in both Garringo and Shango. 'Sword and Sandal' star Brad Harris as the fast gun in Durango is Coming, Pay or Die. Montgomery Clark (Dante Posani) as the gambling gunslinger in Djurado and Ivan Rassimov in this, 1967's Cjamango.Edoardo Mulargia's ...

Sceptical about her account of events and convinced Sarah's psychosis hides far darker secrets, Sheriff Vaines (Gavan O’Herlihy) doesn’t waste time. Along with his partner Rios (Krysten Cummings), and their cave rescue team Dan (Douglas Hodge), Greg (Joshua Dallas), and Cath (Anna Skellern), Vaines forces Sarah back into the caves to help the rescuers find her friends.Alongside Macdonald, The Descent: Part 2 also features Natalie Mendoza reprising her role as Juno.  Krysten Cummings, Anna Skellern, Gavan O’Herlihy (Seven Days of Gr...
