Director: Martin Campbell Release Date: 29/01/10 Link: IMDB If you've looked at the side of a milk carton lately, there's a good chance you've probably seen the acting career of Mel Gibson in the "missing" section. It might be hard to believe, but the last time the 54-year-old actor stepped in front of the camera in a leading role was in 2002 as a conflicted single father and priest in the alien invasion tale Signs .

Director: Miguel Arteta Release Date: 05/02/10 Link: IMDB If you were to hire a high-profile lawyer, you could probably come up with a convincing false advertising claim against the people who put together the trailers for Youth in Revolt . By the way the material is presented in the previews, I wouldn't blame you for coming to the conclusion that Youth in Revolt is going to be a slapstick raunch-fest that delivers multiple laughs per [...]

Joseph Smith was either a prophet of God or a charlatan. He was considered both a man chosen by Jehovah as a modern-day oracle who would lead humanity back to the One True Church and bring about Gods Kingdom on earth, and a philandering con man who abused the trust of his gullible followers by taking a second-rate novel and using it as the basis for his cult of personality. He was a charismatic leader who upon receiving his first Revelation in 1832, managed to spread a new brand of Christianity around the world in just a few short years. [...]

I was not sure quite what to make of Peasant (Damien DeRose) when I was first sent a song of his last year, for whatever reason something was missing for me, and however much this site is about supporting new artists and music, liking what you hear has to be a key part of any endorsement. OK so you have guessed what happened next, but I will state it anyway, was I surprised and delighted when I received a copy of his forthcoming album! His record companies promo actually states "While the last album [...]

Το να κυκλοφορείς στην ιντερνετική πιάτσα με το όνομα Madam δε βοηθάει και πολύ όταν κάποιος θέλει να βρει περισσότερες πληροφορίες για σένα και τη μουσική σου... Όταν όμως έχεις μια τόσο όμορφη, smoky φωνή και διάφορες έξυπνες ιδέες για να στολίσεις τα εξίσου όμορφα, εξαίσια μελαγχολικά τραγούδια σου, όπως τυχαίνει να έχει η μαντάμ Sukie Smith από το Λονδίνο, τότε αρκεί μια ακρόαση για να σταματήσει κανείς και να δώσει προσοχή. Αυτό συνέβη και σ'εμάς καθώς ακούγαμε ένα sampler CD της Reveal Records που είχε δώσει κάποια στιγμή η εφημερίδα Independent ... Το μεγάλο [...]

It's no secret that we here at melophobe are fans of Freelance Whales —their debut album made its way onto our Top Albums of 2009 list , and we've loved seeing them live. Following a show at Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia, we had a chance to sit down with lead singer Judah Dadone to talk about signing to a label, busking on the streets of New York City, and the eventful first year of Freelance Whales. melophobe: How was the tour?

Fan Fiction, aside from an ingredients panel, is the most marginal of literary genres. Since the 17th century when Cervantes' Don Quixote was sabotaged by amateur scribblers, Fan Fiction throughout the ages has clung to the underbelly of good writing like barnacles on the Starship Enterprise . Last month I was challenged by Music To Spazz By Jingle Producer Nutley Sam Elwitt to partake in a literary joust of the schlubbiest kind: an Adam-12 Fan Fiction Contest. Adam-12 Fan Fiction really does exist and it's serious business [...]
Four Lions may be the first of its kind: a "jihadist comedy." Chris Morris spent three years gathering research from terrorism experts, imams, police, secret services and hundreds of Muslims in an attempt to understand this new genre. As Spinal Tap understood heavy metal and Dr Strangelove the Cold War, Four Lions understands modern British jihadis. Related posts: Trailer: Cold Souls This movie looks great. Very reminiscent of Eternal Sunshine of... Mr. Nobody - Trailer Mr. Nemo [...]

It's pretty remarkable just how consistent moe.'s been over 20 years: in personnel, in commitment, in slow, steady growth, in that damned quirky, hard rocking way of doing things they do so well. So I posed the question to guitarist Chuck Garvey directly: How have you guys kept it together and kept from killing each other when changes, hiatuses and other issues have wreaked havoc on many of your jamband peers? [Photo by Jeremy Gordon] "That's just the way we are," Garvey said in a recent interview. "Everyone [...]

This is a new feature for Narratives that will allow me to post new (and newly-discovered) videos. Like the rest of this blog, the videos will likely be very Toronto-centric. Two ever-rising young Toronto bands released new videos for new songs last week. Here is Dinosaur Bones ' "Ice Hotel" and Forest City Lovers ' "If I Were A Tree." Both songs are off 7" projects. I love this song! You can preorder DB's new 7", recorded with Jon Drew (The Arkells, Fucked Up, Tokyo Police [...]

You may remember that a while ago I blogged about Mustard Pimp compiling an astonishing 12 hour mix - well the sneaky French duo have now topped that with an epic 24 hour compilation mix made up of nearly every genre going! It's all in the honour of the new series of 24 which is about to start on Sky. I really didn't follow the last series, I tried but it's hard work. Seriously, how many times does Jack need to save the world? Jean Claude Van Damme wouldn't have had these issues, he'd simply kick [...]
