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.

State of Grace
Early 90s gangster pic - with juvenile Penn, Oldman and Reilly doing a dry run for 'The Departed'.
Halliwell says: Dull and plodding gangster movie.

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
