Blue Valentine
By riverphoenix in Movies

I haven't written about movies I've seen for a long time now, although there have been some good ones. However, I just couldn't resist mentioning Blue Valentine. A sweet, truthfull, melancholic view of how you can hurt people even if you love them to death. A classic indepedent viewpoint from Dere

Thanks to our friend Tasso for bringing this one to our attention. Today, the first trailer to Sofia Coppola's new film Somewhere just came out. The film is set to be released at the end of the year and expected to premiere at the Venice International Film Festival. Stephen Dorff is the main role
[..continues]20 years ago in Twin Peaks
By riverphoenix in Movies

Ok, I saw this at the Culturist but I simply had to make my tribute to it as well (although a few days late). Last Thursday (April 8th) was the 20th anniversary from the airing of our all-time favorite TV show. Twin Peaks was first aired on the 8th of April 1990 and nothing ever since has managed to

By riverphoenix in Movies

Couldn't help but re-post what I saw in Sterogum. And how could I not, when it comes to the collaboration of academy award winner Marion Cotillard and Franz Ferdinand. The track is Eyes of Mars and the video (which doesn't include Franz however) was just released as part of Dior's campaign (since Ma

By riverphoenix in Movies

So I finally saw this one (been looking for the movie for months). To be honest I expected it a bit better but nevertheless I enjoyed it. Cool music, Zooey Deschanel and romance with a twist..what else do you need for a light comedy? Of'course the ending may put some people off (you've been warned)

By riverphoenix in Movies
Athens66 decided to make a tribute countdown to Papakaliati's (Greek Actor/Producer/Director/Screenwriter/Modern-God) upcoming TV series "4". It's coming up in Mega TV on October 12th at 23:00 and we can barely wait. To pay our respect to this amazing event, we have created a countdown widget (perma

By riverphoenix in Movies

Another one on my watch-list for the post summer vacation period. Michael Cera yet again starts in a corny and naive story; in other words perfect!
Watchmen are A Changin’
By riverphoenix in Movies
Simply one of the best opening titles of all time...although it took me quite some time to finally see the movie :-)
Away we Go
By riverphoenix in Movies

This is the next movie I'll see!! Sam Mendes is back with Away we Go; a couple who is expecting their first child travel around the U.S. in order to find a perfect place to start their family. Backed up by a wonderful soundtrack from Alexi Murdoch, this looks like a perfect summer movie. I only have
[..continues]Summer wait for Mad Men
By riverphoenix in Movies

Is there a better show out there at the moment than the highly addictive Mad Men? Solid characters from Matthew Weiner and an amazing cast in the beautiful settings of downtown Manhattan in the 60's. I'm eagerly awaiting for the new season...August 1961 ain't that far away is it now?Aceyalone & RJD2
[..continues]Yeap..I am a Vampire
By riverphoenix in Movies

After seeing Juno once more (don't ask why...) I have to admit I love it more and more (and especially the music). I'm still laughing out loud with "they're yellow" and singing to Polisar's intro song and Antsy Pants' Vampire (yes..I'm a Vampire too). Add Cat Power, Belle and the feel-good ending an

By riverphoenix in Movies

So waiting for this movie...can't resist anything that includes our beloved Zooey Deschanel. Released day is somewhere around September..but hopefully we'll be able to catch it somewhere earlier!PS. Lovely opening track on the trailer by Regina Spektor (Us).Regina Spektor - Us
5…4…3…2…1…Reprise
By riverphoenix in Movies

I've been trying to see this little Norwegian gem for quite some time now. Finally last night I found some (late) time and pressed the play button on this one; an action I should have done a long time ago. Reprise is written and directed by Norwegian director Joachim Trier. The plot revolves around
[..continues]Following the Revolutionary Road
By riverphoenix in Movies

A follow-up review on another film I recently saw, Sam Mendes's Revolutionary Road. The director of American Beauty is back with a beautiful tale about a young couple in the 50's which is trying to get away from the American cliches of the era. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are teamed up again
