a list: locked up

in honour of jim morrison's recent pardon, this week's "a list" is must see prison movies:

cool hand luke

the 1967 paul newman classic sees luke, a decorated war hero, struggle to come to terms with civilian life. incarcerated for a petty crime his anti-establishment sentiments and self belief make him a hero to his fellow inmates and as such a danger to the status quo. 

escape from alcatraz

a group of inmates, led by clint eastwood, attempt to escape from the notorious alcatraz; an island prison from which no-one had managed to escape before. based on a true story.

random review 09/12/10

last night i watched terminator 2 on tv and my god how i had forgotten how much i love this film! t2 came out when i was in my early teens which means i saw it before the first film, so for me this is the quintessential terminator movie. i remember renting it from the local video shop and being blown away.

video killed the radio star

la blogoteque is a french vlog or as they say "a collective weblog broadcasted on youtube and elsewhere". 

they take bands out of their usual performance spaces and catch them on the fly, in derelict buildings, singing acapella, etc, and always live, raw and unique.
