A mantle clock has been brought out by Mcintosh celebrating their 60th birthday.
My favourite movie has been Back To The Future ever since I was a kid and incase you haven't seen it the first scene involves Marty Mcfly turning on a gigantic amp using cool knobs and it involves a lot of cut together shots of power levels going through the roof etc.
This clock has implimented similiar tech (which is classic Mcintosh design) and I'm freaking out right now.
I WANT THIS CLOCK!

Review: The Guard
'The Guard' is an extremely well written and entertaining movie starring Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle. It comes from John Michael Mcdonagh who's the brother of Martin Mcdonagh (the man responsible for 'In Bruges.') Brendan Gleeson plays Seargent Gerry Boyle, a cop who's teamed up with an FBI agent (Cheadle) to investigate a drug smuggling ring in his Irish hometown. The best part about this story is that you experience Gleeson's character for exactly who he is now, rather then being taken on a journey with the character where they start at point A and end at point B with a change in their life. Apart from it being absolutely hilarious, this is what I really love about the story. The film is created around experiencing who this person is, all of his faults and flaws and what happens when he's thrown into situations.
The way it's shot is quite informal, there are lots of out-of-focus shots and off-kilter framing which actually adds a whole lot of character to this little gem. It's a great example of story telling and just how fun and entertaining you can make films be. Go and see it!

Just bought my first production from Mrporter.com, a pair of Blue Suede Shoes. I ordered them Friday, they came Monday (all the way from the UK) and arrived like this:
With my motherfuckin name on em. How bawse is that? I couldn't have asked for better packaging
I think this is the most I've ever spent on a pair of shoes, I figured it's time to take it to the next level!
Shit yeah.

Haven't posted in a while, I've been doing more grip days on Terra Nova the TV series and a feature film called Mental which is directed by PJ Hogan who did 'Muriels Wedding.' Here are a few snaps from set:
Here are a few trailers to some movies I'm looking forward to:
'Drive' starts Ryan Gosling who is a stunt driver by day and a heist driver by night. He's one of my favourite actors and there are some beautifully composed shots in this trailer which has been extremely well put together, deffinately worth looking out for
'The Rum Diary' is a movie that Johnny Depp has been trying to make for a while. They finally shot it in 09 and why it's taken this long to get to the screens, I have no idea. This looks fantastic
Last is 'J Edgar' which is Clint Eastwoods new film starring Leo Dicaprio, I love the whole style and look that they've gone for. This one looks epic
I just got a message from my brother saying that we need to do another music video by mid october, so look forward to near-future projects!

My favourite artist is bringing out another album, I love how he advertises:
He's just too fuckin cool. Albums out October 25th!
A few trailers have popped up online recently that look fantastic. I have really high hopes for 'The Woman In Black' (which is Daniel Radcliffe's first movie after the Harry Potter franchise)
'The Artist' is a homage to the silent era of the 1920's. It's been picked up by the Weinstein Brothers for international release, hopefully it'll reach our waters. There are so many film-making elements from the 20's on full display in this trailer, a lot of love has gone into this one:
Last but not least is Tarsem Singhs new movie 'Immortals'
This uses similiar elements to the movie '300' but I feel it has a lot more depth too it (something that 300 lacked, for me.) Immortal's visuals looks absolutely stunning and I really enjoy the whole concept.
Finish your Sunday off with this.
Ciao
