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.

Married To The Mob

Tight, multi-layered comedy in Jonathan Demme's best film - and the antidote to 'Goodfellas'.

Halliwell says: Effervescent comedy-thriller that bubbles merrily along.**

Skate or die: GoPro

Skateboarding's probably pretty close to porn when it comes to using advances in film technology. Check out this quick how-to about mounting a mini GoPro HD camera under a skateboard, from @RideChannel's excellent In Focus series.

Scarface

Shapeless pacing and shoddy production values make for one of the most over-rated film school favorites.

Halliwell says: Absurdly brutalized version of the above, with detailed violence and a superabundance of foul language. Scarface has now become an emigre Cuban, and the film seems to want to make a political statement.

No Strings Attached

Devastatingly transparent and unambitious romcom-by-numbers with Natalie Portman.

London Boulevard

Surprisingly acceptable mockney caper. Think The Long Good Friday with flashes of Only Fools & Horses.

Luck

A strong cast and confident direction get this Michael Mann show off to a strong start. Let's hope it grows.

Rush

Disappointingly dated, wooden, melodramatic undercover-cops-go-too-far movie. With added Eric Clapton noodling.

No Man's Land

Surprisingly stylish slice of 80s action with @CharlieSheen ...like Point Break, without surfboards.
