John Carter

An uneasy mix of sandals, sci-fi, Superman and cowboys that holds together, but never quite takes off.

Hanna

Abstract, ambitious, pretentious, graphical, European art house thriller. Like Wes Anderson doing Bourne.

fIREHOSE: lowFLOWS

Columbia are releasing an anthology of fIREHOSE music in tandem with the bands upcoming reunion shws. In this case, 'Anthology' means 'everything they put out on Columbia', plus a handful of outtakes etc. Not their best period, but still a pretty good place to start - especially as it contains the Live Totem Pole EP, which features a raft of awesome live covers, from Wire, Superchunk and Buttholes, to Public Enemy.
