Tarantino’s Picks

interesting to see what films Mr Tarantino admires in the last 20 years.

I agree with half of that list. the other half is just too nerdy.

I’m not a big fan of Think about Life, but I have to admit I absolutely loved this videoclip.

Simon and Garfunkel – Bridge Over Troubled Water

When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I’m on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Man oh man, a new modest mouse song surfaced today.
It’s quite stunning (while being extraordinarily simple). Instant love on my side.
Check that great chorus : just a strong, deep and loud vocal line, intertwined with another radio voice. Simply beautiful.

To listen, go here

Antony and the Johnsons covering Beyonce ??
Don’t believe me, check out that video.

I have to say this is simply heartbreaking.
Who knew that song could be interpreted like that ?

Scorcese in thriller-mode

leave a comment »

Here’s the latest trailer from Martin Scorcese…
Looks a lot like a conspiracy thriller ! Which, in the hands of Mr Scorcese, could be BANANAS!!!… or it could be a disaster. We’ll see in october…

oh, and in case it wasn’t clear just yet, DiCaprio is the new De Niro.

Panic !!!!

This is simply one of the most hilarious and original animation films I’ve seen in a while.
Here’s a trailer for it.

Hopefully you can catch it soon on DVD or in theatres if you’re lucky.

(Stoners, beware….)
