AMV of the Week Ghostly Intermission – Best Music Video Ever
You’ll have to forgive me for leaving you without an AMV this week (let’s pretend you care) but I have been lackadaisical about this post (I still have to write a review for Norwegian Wood despite seeing it a week ago).That said, here’s one of the best music videos I have ever seen. The best. Like, ever.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams 3D
The only way I would ever learn about Palaeolithic cave art would be through a film narrated by Werner Herzog. Not necessarily my cup of tea but through the beauty of the images and Herzog’s narration it became an absorbing journey involving the concept of time, reality and perception. And the 3D is awesome.

Submarine Film Review
SUBMARINE has been earning major praise since last year’s Toronto International Film Festival. The name of the director, Richard Ayoade (Moss from the IT Crowd), was a bit surprising. Whilst he has directed music videos for Vampire Weekend and television including Garth Merenghi’s Dark Place and Man to Man with Dean Learner, his film debut with Submarine is surprisingly good.

AMV of the Week: Hello World
Part of the fun with watching anime music videos is trying to guess which anime has been used. It’s also a good way of measuring just how in touch you are with your roots or current trends.

When Satisfied is Enough
It’s hard being a gamer. You pay a lot of money for a game that can last from six to sixty hours and hope it entertains. Picking a game relies upon using the advice of a reviewer to guide you yet you may love a franchise so much you take the risk of severe disappointment. The latest Aliens vs. Predator was one such risk. Continue reading

AMV of the Week – Get A Hold Of Yourself
It’s a week to the day since the earthquake in Japan. Posting anything feels rather awkward with the ongoing crisis involving nuclear power-plants and helping refugees whilst harsh weather sets in. I’m trying to be politic about choosing music and video which do not offend or seem melodramatic. I went with something upbeat which I found the day before the earthquake in Japan. Continue reading

Fair Game
During the fall-out over the Iraq conflict there was a small story involving the White House exposing a CIA agent because her husband spoke out against the war. I ignored it because it didn’t seem too important. Actually it was very important illustrating how politics can manipulate intelligence work to disastrous effect. Fair Game is based on this story and is an extremely well-made film that tells a valuable story with two brilliant performances from Naomi Watts and Sean Penn.

Earthquake Registering 8.9 in Japan
An earthquake Registering 8.9 on the Richter Scale hit off the coast of Honshu, Japan’s main island. I’m watching the BBC which is showing people scrambling out of buildings just missing getting hit by debris. Thankfully, Japanese buildings have been built to withstand earthquakes but news is still grim.

AMV of the Week – Bloodlust
As I continue watching AMV’s and my taste drifts more towards electronica and 8-bit chip-tune music that only a few years ago I would have considered dirge, I’m discovering new artists I like and I like these guys. You Love Her Coz Shes Dead.
