Info-nite Arms

More info has emerged on the forthcoming third LP from Band of Horses, Infinite Arms, due to arrive on May 18th. The satisfyingly familiar cover is by Christopher Wilson, who's portfolio looks like a peek inside my iPod. Buy the image from The Funeral single here.

Looks like old favourite Sub Pop have got the heave-ho however, with the release coming via Brown Records/Fat Possum/Columbia/TopSpin.

Wall-E

Typically flawless offering from Pixar, from the last-droid-on-Earth sub-genre.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Classy and stylishly done, but ultimately a bit slow and boring.

IMDBPhone

It's been a long time coming, but IMDB finally have their own iPhone App. At last, you can recall what Mel Gibson is actually famous for from the comfort of your local pub (Mad Max, Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, surprisingly not much else).

It's a pretty thorough recreation of their comprehensive website - and in many ways is a lot more intuitive.

Unfortunate Names

Hilarious piece on the BBC website about some of the worst names in Britain. Stan Still, Hazel Nutt, Paige Turner...... and I thought chimp75 was bad

Terminator 2

Dated, but still bombastic sequel, with that awesome Arnie-isn't-the-bad guy twist to kick things off.

Trailer Park: Everybody's Fine

Upcoming remake Everybody's Fine could be another tipping point for De Niro, and this one could go either way. With What Just Happened?, he seemed to have put his shakiest decade behind him and started on the road to recovery - and while this trailer stinks like a Shining parody, the film could actually be quite good. We'll see.
