| ‘Die Hard 5′ & Bruce Willis Find Their Director In Noam Murro Posted: 11 Feb 2011 05:54 PM PST  It's been no secret since the release of Live Free or Die Hard, the fourth installment in the franchise, that star Bruce Willis was planning on making more at some point in the future. Movement has been speeding up lately on what's simply being called Die Hard 5 at the moment, and now the flick's director has been chosen by 20th Century Fox and Willis. Deadline is reporting that Noam Murro will be taking the wheel on the project, which could become his third feature film. Murro has only one completed credit to his name -- 2008's Smart People, which starred Ellen Page, Dennis Quaid, Thomas Hayden Church, and Sarah Jessica Parker -- and has another currently in production called Hateship, Friendship, Courtship. These aren't the credits of someone you would see directing a Die Hard movie, but these movies are also not what stood out to those who hired Murro -- it was his work on some popular live-action Halo shorts made for the release of Halo: Reach that caught eyes and won him the job. You can see the videos below if you missed them. [...] |

| Take Your Excitement For Rockstar’s ‘L.A. Noire’ To The Next Level With New Gameplay Trailer Posted: 11 Feb 2011 04:07 PM PST  We've seen a trailer and impressive first images from Rockstar Games' upcoming title, L.A. Noire. We've also seen a video showing off the astounding technologies behind the game, which create shockingly accurate facial expressions and lip-to-word synchronization. All of these previews of the game have been created using in-game content, but what we had not yet seen was true gameplay -- what it will actually look like when we get this bad boy in our hands and begin our adventure in 1940s post-World War II Los Angeles. Rockstar has now release just that and as you might expect, it looks pretty incredible. As you'll see, it does look like a Grand Theft Auto-style game, but mixed with these awe-inspiring new performance capture effects and the added crime-solving elements that require you to interrogate suspects, read their expressions, and find evidence, L.A. Noire is no doubt going to be a top contender for game of the year. You can see the new gameplay trailer by clicking over to the other side now! [...] |

| Posted: 11 Feb 2011 09:17 AM PST  Cold Weather Directed by Aaron Katz Starring: Chris Lankenau, Trieste Kelly Dunn, Raul Castillo, Robyn Rikoon Release date: February 4, 2011 (limited) The title of Aaron Katz's third feature film, Cold Weather, should not be misinterpreted as being a film about unique snowflakes, blizzards, or sub-zero temperatures, though the film's setting in Portland does show consistent rainfall and gloomy days, evoking a distant sense of coldness and poignant beauty. It is, after all, traditional Portland weather. But Katz embraces a perspective that showcases his keen eye for finding resemblance in opposite entities. His direction here allows him to intertwine weather and humanity, making them coincide respectively. He draws comparisons from the naturalistic environment he is working in with those emotions that are running rampant within his characters. As Cold Weather is inclined to drain the life out of all plants and make living beings think twice about being out in it, Katz perceives this harsh coldness dwelling within individuals, rendering them emotionally numb and dislocated from the world they inhabit. There is no doubt that the characters in Cold Weather desire to have their numbness relieved. They are desperately searching for any form of encouragement that has the potential of elevating them out of their current state of uneasiness. In the film's wonderful opening credits the camera is fixated on a windowpane abundantly covered by raindrops. Slowly do the hundreds of drops cry down the window, slowly dripping away into oblivion. They are fragments looking to be engaged, for no matter how short a period of time, with other drops that would allow them to connect. An engagement is what these drops want [...] |
| FREE Listen: Motorhead’s ‘The World Is Yours’ Posted: 11 Feb 2011 06:21 AM PST  Our friend Mark Carras over at Rock My Monkey pointed out that the new Motörhead album, The World Is Yours, is streaming online for FREE right now at AOL Music. Seriously, give it a listen -- it's FREE, and it's the entire album, which was released in the U.S. on February 8, 2011. I'm not familiar with AOL's CD listening parties, so I'd recommend checking this out right away, since I'm not sure how long it will be streaming for free. The new album is awesome. When I listened to The World Is Yours, I felt like I did back in 1987 when I first heard Rock-N-Roll... it's sooooo good [...] |
