85 Films Martin Scorsese Thinks You Should See

Fast Company magazine has an interesting list of films mentioned by Martin Scosese as influentual to him. He's certainly consistent, as he's been talking a lot of these up since I was at film school - directly prompting me to check out Faces, Duel in the Sun, Gun Crazy, Kiss Me Deadly, The Leopard, A Matter of Life and Death, Peeping Tom and The Red Shoes ...amongst others. Pretty sure he put me onto Black Narcissus too - my favourite Powell & Presseburger movie.

Trailer Park: The Raid

This month's "Most kills in a trailer" award goes to relentless Indonesian all-out martial arts cops n guns fest The Raid (@THERAIDMOVIE). Have heard bloody good things (well, it's bloody and it's good) from early reports - something of a tribute to early (ie pre-Hollywood) John Woo from Welsh director Gareth Evans by all accounts. Looks like they've borrowed The Wire's font too

Trailer Park: Year Zero ...with added Black Mountain

Trailer up for the epic surf movie 'Year Zero' from Globe. The movie itself looks pretty tasty, shot around the world on 16mm film ....but the real reason to get excited is the Black Mountain soundtrack.

The album features a few old classics (including 'Tyrants' - featuring my all time favourite drum licks) and a handful of unreleased tracks such as 'Phosphorescent Waves', 'Embrace Euphoria', 'In Sequence' and 'Mary Lou' - which you can download over at Jagjaguwar and listen to below.

The album is out April 2nd in the UK, April 3rd elswhere.
