Heavy Metal Parking Lot

It’s 1986. A filmmaker interviews fans tailgating outside a Judas Priest concert. The shirts are off, jeans ripped and acid under the tongue. Every band I’ve ever worked with has a copy of Heavy Metal Parking Lot in their tour van. Classic!

Tony Stark hits Blu Ray

I can’t say I’m happy with Hollywood attempting a blockbuster out of every comic book hero but Iron Man delivers on all fronts. Equal parts action flick and well-written sense of humor, this 2-disc Blu-Ray edition features all the bonus footage you need to gear up for a sequel.

Paul Newman, the real maverick

Paul Newman not only starred in the greatest hockey movie of all time but helped raise over $250 Million dollars for charity. The guy is a legend and did many things to make this world a better place. He will certainly be missed.

Koolhaas living

Immerse yourself in the world of contemporary architect Rem Koolhaas. After winning Time Magazine’s Best Design for 1998, filmmakers put together this DVD  to showcase the unusual and unpredictable look at the spaces and structure of Rem’s House in Bordeaux. It’s totally whacked yet normal.  Does that make sense? Click the image to view trailer.

Free Sarah Palin

Campbell Brown is fed up and quite frankly we can’t blame her. She thinks it’s absurd the Republicans won’t let their hockey mom with lipstick answer any questions for herself. Brown’s right, this is absurd.  Sarah Palin is absurd. John McCain is absurd. This all feels like one big joke and the mainstream media needs to jump all over this for what it really is.

Slacker Uprising

Michael Moore released his new film “Slacker Uprising” today and you can watch it absolutely free. This is a first for a major motion picture debuting online. Don’t be a slacker and download it here.

Over medicated pop culture

Joy Division. Four young men who went to a Sex Pistols concert in 1976 and were forever changed. And after listening to their music, so will you.

Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes

Arguably, one of the best cinematic trilogies of all time has been given a complete make-over by director Francis Ford Coppola. “The Coppola Restoration” features a 5-disc DVD set (4 if you get the Blu-Ray) loaded with bonus features and extreme detail on all those legendary Corleone family parties. I can’t wait to see Moe Greene and Johnny Fontane on Blu-Ray. Head over to our friends at Gear Crave for a chance to win the complete set.

Bottle Rocket: The Criterion Collection

The greatest Wes Anderson movie ever made just got better. Bottle Rocket: The Criterion Collection. Features include a newly restored HD digital transfer, commentary from Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson, the original Bottle Rocket short film from 1992, a making-of documentary, and more. This is a must have and if you’re obsessed like we are, you’ll probably love our short film on Kumar (the safecracker in Bottle Rocket, Mr. Littlejeans in Rushmore and Pagoda in Royal Tenenbaums).

Spike Jonze skateboarding trickery

My friend Opie says this is the best skateboarding intro ever. I think he’s right.
