Borgore is one of electronic music’s most popular and polarizing artists. Called the enfant terrible of bass culture and happy to name himself the man who “ruined dubstep,” the LAbased, Tel Aviv-born producer’s genre-destroying “gorestep” and maniacal live shows have made him an iconic character in the modern bass scene. Borgore’s enthusiastic disruption of current electronic music is backed up by sterling musical credentials, proving the old saying that you have to know the rules before you can break them. Formally trained in jazz at Tel Aviv’s Thelma Yellin music academy – Israel’s answerto Juilliard – he was a saxophone…

Aneesh Chaganty and co-writer Sev Ohanian talk about going from film school to the big screen, the fake google commercial that went viral and led to SEARCHING – a film made in a way no other has ever been made. https://vimeo.com/286589983
The buddy cop movie, a staple of US cinemas in the ’80s and ’90s, is alive and well in Korea, only it arrives with a little more seriousness and a lot more hand to hand combat. Kim Sung-hoon’s CONFIDENTIAL ASSIGNMENT forces a North Korean detective Im Cheol-ryung (Hyun Bin) to team up with his South Korean counterpart Kang (Yoo Hae-jin) to avoid an international scandal. Im’s former captain has stolen counterfeiting plates from a government factory and crossed the border into South Korea to make as much money as possible (literally). Im, fueled by revenge for a murdered wife, is…
Camping trip in a remote part of the Australian Outback, what could go wrong, right? When Ian (Ian Meadows) and Sam (Harriet Dyer) find they are not alone after coming upon an abandoned tent, the romantic getaway becomes a little more ominous. Played out in two timelines juxtaposed against each other, Damien Power’s thriller KILLING GROUND propels these characters unknowingly towards German (Aaron Pedersen) and Chook (Aaron Glenane), two locals with very little respect for the law. And then… there is the small child left behind. Without giving away too much, KILLING GROUND becomes a battle between these two sets…
We had a great conversation with a very pleasant Joseph David-Jones, who has a co-starring role in the highly anticipated Kathryn Bigelow film “Detroit,” which opens in theaters August 4th. A genuinely modest and self-effacing guy, he told us how he ended up in the acting world portraying a variety of strong and diverse on-screen roles, like up-and-coming musician Clay starring opposite Hayden Panatierre on the CMT series “Nashville,” and Hollis in The Divergent Series: Allegiant opposite Shailene Woodley. He has also made headlines in the comic book world as Connor Hawke on “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.” AMFM:I thought it…
Greg Zglinski’s surreal marital drama ANIMALS captures a couple at the crossroads of their relationship, a time when to people seem to be willing to consider what their life would be like with or without their spouse. Sometimes, those considerations play out on screen as abductions, murders or suicides, although the shadowy narrative never affords the audience the certainty of anything they are watching on screen being real. Set in the Alps, ANIMALS, plays out in two storylines, and two, possibly three realities. Anna (Birgit Minichmayr) and Nick (Philipp Hochmair) pack up and escape the city, Nick to collect recipes…
Gary Oldman’s amazing transformation into Winston Churchill is nothing short of amazing. Within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman) must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation,…
By Carla Sanchez Taylor (RiPple PuDdle)The term ‘revolution’ has an etymology that can furthest be connected to the movement of celestial bodies. The legendary musician, Prince, fearlessly collected star musicians to lead the movement of popular music into the future. His band of eccentrics, The Revolution, came to embody a synergistic capsule of time, the crosswind of culture and the unique location that held it all: the city of Minneapolis. I got a chance to speak to long standing Revolution bassist, Mark Brown (better known as BrownMark), about the formation of the group, the long ties to their original sound,…
Oliver Stone’s interviews with Vladimir Putin and the deposed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych show the current troubles of Ukraine are rooted in how the resource-rich country and logistically important city Odessa has long been eyed as an asset by more powerful countries, who constantly seek to control/use/conquer the region for their own purposes. “I was a supporter of the 2004 Orange revolution. But, over time I (and others) began to realize that this “revolution” like so many others, was scripted and staged with big money and intervention by foreign government,” – Director Igor Lopatonok One of those countries is The United…
From the very start of the show, Broadway In America’s Lion King was a visual and auditory feast at Houston’s Hobby Center Thursday June 29th. From the opening number by the incredible Buyi Zama’s beautiful vocals combined with the “click language” Xhosa (one of seven languages spoken throughout the play) to the closing song “Circle Of Life,” the audience was enraptured. The interactive show had fantastically dressed animal puppets cavorting through the aisles and in the balconies in Houston’s Hobby Center, with percussionists on both and left and right side of the theater. The result was a real-life surround-sound of…
