Friends With Benefits

Abysmal update to Harry Met Sally, with non-stop 'real' dialogue. Bizarro @Shaun_White cameo.

Ali

Expensive, ambitious, stylish biopic with a decent turn from Fresh Prince. Unfortunately it's dead boring.

John Frusciante

Letur Lefr

Light on guitars and heavy on MC-ing. A non-related precursor to the forthcoming LP.

Rewind: Bobby Parker - Watch Your Step

Interesting short on Bobby Parker's track Watch Your Step, which inspired The Beatles' I Feel Fine (and Led Zep's Moby Dick)

First Look: Pacific Rim/ Elysium

Twitch have got pics of Charlie Humman, Rinko Kikuchi and Idris Elba in Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming mecha-robots v monsters sci-fi Pacfic Rim; and a look at Matt Damon getting all Bruce Willis in Neill "District 9" Blomkamp's Elysium (a future where the rich live on a satellite orbiting Earth). Like the sound of both, intrigued to see what Del Toro does with a plot that sounds very close to late 70s/early 80s anime classic Gundam.

Trailer Park: This Is 40

The trailer for the @JuddApatow Knocked Up sort-a-sequel isn't blowing my mind ...but the sentiment certainly has my attention.

Skate or die: Omar Salazar

I tried to refrain from posting this double-barrelled culture co-opt video, with Nike and Levi's teaming up to take over skateboarding. But the film is so good it would be a shame not too. Not working for the man, just freelancing.

Hotwheels Loops the Loop

Awesome real-world Hotwheels stunt at this year's X Games, with two cars hitting a 60 ft loop the loop - built outside the Staples Centre in LA.
