Romantics Anonymous (a.k.a. Les Émotifs Anonymes) is an enchanting, colorful French romantic comedy reminiscent of Amelie. This wonderful little love story introduces us to two painfully shy chocolate lovers: reluctant sales rep and "hermit" chocolatier Angélique (Isabelle Carré) and oddball chocolate mill owner Jean-René (Benoit Poelvoorde). The two chocolate enthusiasts first bond over their shared [...]

by teepoo Whoa, I started this track off thinking it would be just a normal alternative rock track to find I was greatly surprised in the middle. I swear it went electronic in the middle! Then it becomes almost like smooth jazz to orchestral pop. What? Who cares what this is, it's pretty amazing. I quite enjoy that the head of Foreign Films Bill Majoros can take it wherever he wants to and there aren't any awkward transitions at all. This is one track from a two-song single [...]
My love for San Diego knows no bounds (or borders) and although it started snowing up here in Toronto, I'm excited to announce a FWBA event at Soda Bar - featuring LA band: Races , with support from Chains of Love , The New Assembly and Foreign Film . The band formerly named Black Jesus (which was amazing) recently released an EP called Big Broom off Frenchkiss Records . The sound has this [...]

What was your foreign film fetish? I got lost for a while in the bizarre world of Japan's Takeshi Kitano, where 20 minute periods of nothingness would be interspersed by short scenes of mind numbingly insane violence. I wouldn't say that Bill Majoros , otherwise known as The Foreign Films , is anything like Kitano, or Japanese films, but his music would can certainly fill my time like Kitano did. Marjoros' former band Flux A.D. included Julie Fader (Feist, Great Lake Swimmers) and Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck) and has toured much of [...]

Bill Majoros (Hamilton, Canada) is The Foreign Films, but that wasn't something that happened overnight. As a teenager he was touring the world playing packed arenas, and empty bars. His last band Flux A.D. (a favourite of Daniel Lanois and Robbie Robertson) splintered into some cool projects with Julie Fader and Graham Walsh having success with Feist, The Great Lake Swimmers, and Holy Fuck, but it's with The Foreign Films that finds Majoros catching up with his long gestating ambition. His e.p, The Foreign Films EP , has already been hailed on Exclaim!, and throughout the blogosphere. To celebrate [...]
Using 4,000 still photographs, Bill Majoros, aka The Foreign Films , has crafted a gorgeous video for the single "A Message," which is the first single off the singer/songwriter's self-titled EP . The video is a perfect pairing to the single's smooth blend of indie rock, and is "based on light, colour, human expression and rhythm." Filed under: Music , WATCH THIS Tagged: A Message , Bill Majoros , indie , pop , rock , still photograph , The [...]
A Message Fire From Spark is an EP work of Bill Majoros as 'The Foreign Films' ex guitarist of Flux A.D. His work on the EP is a psychedelic pop blend that is melodic and a in this case heartbreaking. Majoros and The Foreign Films accompanied by friends Kori Pop and Alex McMaster (Arcade Fire) have been slowly working on this EP as a teaser for a full LP. The EP can be streamed at their bandcamp . To better it, A Message was put to moving picture stopmotion video [...]
Een paar jaar geleden is een goeie jeugdvriendin naar Canada verhuisd. Dit was het gevolg van het aan de haak slaan van zo'n typische Men in Trees man. Een man als een boom, met veel haar en grote - vast heel voorzichtige - handen. Inmiddels is het stelletje een gezinnetje geworden, en ik geloof, en hoop, heel gelukkig in het verre Canada. Canada lijkt me zo'n land waar je heel rustig en gelukkig van wordt, schone longen van krijgt en uitgeruste en ontspannen ogen, van al die groen gelakte vergezichten. Voorlopig ken ik Canada alleen van de foto's [...]
A punto de terminar el año, el músico Bill Majoros nos presenta su primer trabajo denominándose a él mismo como The Foreign Films. Fire From Spark nos presenta un compendio de cuatro canciones que rayan en lo clásico y tranquilo, pero teniendo un toque folclórico que nos recuerda a bandas como The Magic Numbers. A [...]
Bill Majoros from Hamilton, ON, is The Foreign Films . A veteran guitar player, singer and composer, his latest project is a 4-track EP. Fire From Spark is a garage rock album wrapped in pop sensibilities. Plenty of of for stings and piano. An urge for the grandiose symphonics clashes with basic rock, which could have led to a major train wreck of a record. Majoros holds a firm reign on the proceedings. The music may be trying to wring itself from his grip, but he brings it home safely, dripping with sweat and tired beyond [...]
Nuevamente ponemos rumbo a Canadá para fijarnos en The Foreign Films, proyecto musical de Bill Majoros, quien nos presenta su nuevo Ep, "Fire From Spark", que nos sirve de adelanto del álbum que tiene previsto publicar a mediados del año 2011, en el que se encuentra actualmente trabajando. Anteriormente había formado parte de la banda Flux A.D, entre cuyos miembros se encontraban Julie Fader (Feist, Great Lake Swimmers) y Graham Walsh (Holy Fuck). Sin embargo, su debut discográfico como The Foreign Films se produjo en el año 2007, con la publicación de [...]
"The Foreign Films represents a soundtrack of his life experiences, weaving sonic elements of the past, present and future into a bittersweet genre-bounding pop. Star gazing and heartbreaking all at once". Four very different sounding tracks make this EP an edgy and brilliantly astute forerunner to the spring album release. The female harmonising on `Fire From Spark` is a lovely sounding after thought, an uncluttered world of brass and stringed instruments always forms an upturned smile - Bill Majoros prefers soft and subtle power chords, a deeper but more deliberate noise cascades into the [...]

Each month Skatterbrain features a monthly mix, and I absolutely love the covers. The cover for Blogophilia 23 is my feeble attempt at deriving inspiration from Skatterbrain. I try… It's hard to believe a whole month has passed by since the last Blogophilia post. This month's mix has songs featured on the Dadada by the Charming Youngsters, The Red River, Wildlife, Lykee Li, The Rest, and The Foreign Films. There are also new tracks from the Decemberists, Say Hi, The Heavy, The Tallest Man on Earth, [...]
