10 Films That Greatly Disturbed Me After watching Dogtooth last week, I got thinking about some of the films that have gotten under my skin over the years. While there are some disturbing films that I can watch over and over (i.e. A Clockwork Orange , etc.) there are some that I just have no desire to ever watch again (i.e. Texas Chainsaw Massacre , etc). Below is a list of films that have left an impression on me for better or worse. [...]

Le film avait été présenté (et avait fait l'unanimité) lors du dernier festival de Cannes hors-compétition; vous avez surement du entendre parler de Kaboom, nouveau projet du réalisateur américain Gregg Araki . Si vous ne le connaissez pas, il est toujours temps de remédier à cette terrible erreur. Précipitez-vous pour acheter/télécharger les films d'Araki suivants - Totally Fucked Up , The Doom Generation , Nowhere , Smiley Faces , Mysterious Skin ou encore Splendor , portraits barrés (chacun en accord avec son époque) d'une jeunesse freak et extrême. Force est [...]

Initiating overdue analysis of Light Asylum and their single-worthy demo, "A Certain Person". ⇒ This incandescent pop artifact has crept onto the internet and I now feel at liberty to participate in its propagation. Although certainly not every person is deserving of this .mp3, the universe (in an act of charity) has permitted you to attain it. This subsequently makes the crucial offerings of our NYC duo a matter of public record--quite imminently doomed to become a public need. Shannon Funchess's lyrics capture the specificity of attraction, obsession, heartbreak, and loss, while explicitly [...]

• Light Asylum - a certain person demo

Three years ago, weary from touring and wan from the chasm separating their dreams and reality, Jim Evens and his bandmates in L.A. trio Helen Stellar decided to take a little break. They'd just had a song in the Cameron Crowe movie "Elizabethtown" and released "A Prayer to Myself," a compilation of their first three EPs that came out on the Vinyl Films label run by Crowe and Andy Fischer. "We put out the record, the movie came out, the soundtrack came out. ... I guess we had some expectations that somebody [...]

The '80s and '90s were the heyday of movie soundtracks. Prince 's Purple Rain sold billions millions of copies as did the soundtracks to Dirty Dancing and Titanic . Since then, sales of soundtracks have tapered off. In the past few years, only the soundtracks from Garden State and Juno have even come close to leaving an indelible impression. For those who lust after the marrying of awesome music and cinema, here are a seven soundtracks (and movies) that have been condoned. A lot of the songs featured [...]

"You ever feel like there's this great, big conspiracy going on? Like, life's not just unfair but unnecessarily relentlessly cruel?" Zac finally found the MTV pilot for This Is How The World Ends by Gregg Araki. THANK U PATENT LEATHER DADDY. I've been a devout Gregg Araki follower since puberty and I'd be lying if I didn't admit I've laid awake ALL NIGHT LONG searching for a streaming version of this elusive Wikipedia sidenote in his filmography. I had the mind-altering pleasure of meeting Gregg at Coachella this year when he went to refill [...]
