Trailers for Enter The Void with soundtrack from Thomas Bangalter
This the new film from Gaspar Noe (Irreversible) who is one of those directors who has to carry the labels controversial and risky due to his artistic vision on how to portray sex and violence (basically his last film had a 10 minutes rape scene). His new film looks technically amazing and gives signs that he is not aiming to go Disney anytime soon. Score is assured by Daft Punk's musical mastermind Thomas Bangalter. Daft Punk are also scoring the new Tron film due for release this winter.

KAWS Solo Show @ Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, CT
Brian Donnelly's (KAWS) first solo museum exhibition opened on June 27 at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. Gracefully infusing commercial pop culture with ludicrous street art, it is easy to see from his sketches and paintings to his figurines and poster modifications that KAWS has an uncanny talent for adding his signature touch to well established trademarks. Bright colors, comforting contours, cartoon-esque depictions - the art is both whimsical yet provocative; exploring iconic conceptions, but also raising questions about the extent to which commercialism has taken over our world.

Teaser for David Fincher's The Social Network
The days of joking around about making Facebook the film are over. Like really over. Because it seems to be ready. Well it has a teaser with dialogue mentioning the name Mark Zuckerberg and showing Jessy Eisenberg's (Zombieland) face at the end. At the helm of the film is none other than David Fincher (7even, Fight Club, Zodiac) so while everybody is saying that a website is the least cinematic thing you can film I'm sure it's in good hands. Press Like.
