New instalment of on-set photos up at jeffbridges.com - from True Grit and taken by the man himself. Looks like a fun shoot.

That's Matt Damon's tragoedia/comedia above.

Eddie Vedder

Longing To Belong

Slight, but not insignificant new single from the PJ front man. Ukulele-heavy.

Attack The Block

Decent small-scale London alien invasion from Joe Cornish. Weed jokes, gore and punchy soundtrack. Allow.

Black Swan

Amazing cinematography and art direction style out this hammy horror romp. White = good. Black = bad.

Kick-Ass

Disappointing, predictable, DIY superhero movie. Not big enough in budget or ambition to better the big boys.

New Eddie Vedder: Ukulele Songs

Eddie Vedder is back with a new solo album on May 31st, his first since the recent-Pearl-Jam trumping Into The Wild soundtrack. Ukulele Songs is made up of new songs and covers, unsurprisingly played on a ukulele. Don't worry if that's a deal-breaker for you however as he also has a tour film - Water On The Road - coming out on the same date and directed by Fugazi's Brendan Canty. That film is culled from 2008's solo tour and features solo cuts mixed in with Pearl Jam classics.

First single Longing To Belong is out today.

Via Pearl Jam

UPDATE: Cat Power guests. Uh oh.
