  • Red Bull: The Art of FLIGHT

    // August 8th, 2011 // No Comments » // Movies


    Ever see that Red Bull commercial where the rally car launches off a ramp at ninety miles per hour only to soar over a river and land, with ease, three-hundred feet away on the other side of a pier, to which the camera, slowly zooming in, reveals the driver, Travis Pastrama, who casually welcomes the viewer to the world of cars flying over rivers? The video you are about to watch is just like that.


    As it turns out, the guys over at Red Bull have taken it upon themselves – all that leftover juice has to go somewhere – to bring Travis Pastrama’s world to the snowy mountaintop. This short preview of the film The Art of FLIGHT, a documentary made possible by Red Bull, boasts images of snowboarders jumping out of helicopters onto avalanche-ridden mountaintops, images through which death-defying twists and turns are captured in mind-bending sublimity, the elements of an all-around fearlessness, however unfamiliar to the eye. As a matter of fact, it is claimed in the video that “snowboarding will change forever.” You must see for yourself.



    The Art of FLIGHT is due to hit theatres September 7th. For more information, click here.

  • Trailer: The Dark Knight Rises

    // July 24th, 2011 // No Comments » // Movies


    That’s right, ladies and gentleman: the famous Bruce Wayne is back. To be sure, it seems like he might actually be fighting this time. For more than your everyday sense of fatigued justice, no less! Motivation now crawling beneath the skin, thoughts all ablaze; your favorite knight is saturated in anger. And from the looks of it the Batman has only one option – singed though the path remains.


    Will he rise above the fray, you ask? If you can hold onto your horses until mid-2012, you’ll have your precious answer.



  • WTF?

    // August 11th, 2010 // No Comments » // Fashion, Movies, Music, Technology










    As I sit here, silently pondering the origin of my space within your time, a sense of doubt begins to creep into mind’s eye. That I exist, somehow, is certain to me. For how else could I be reading these very words? But if my space was to suddenly vanish, swiftly erased from your time, then how else might I exist? Oh, how these thoughts strangle me. Thoughts which make me feel like an oblivious fool.

    Thankfully, to this eyeball, the web is even wider than the world. And it seems to form all sorts of funny little patterns which simultaneously disturb and enrich the understanding.

    The pattern I will speak of today, however, is no mere circle.

    A physical substance was clearly there; YouTube said so. And it was clearly a perfect circle. But when another thing was introduced to the circle’s domain, an unbreakable square of sorts, it became altogether certain that I was witnessing a miracle. As if the pixels had a life of their own, the unbreakable square was suddenly sucked into the circle. And so in the center it remained, gone but no lost: invisible. The circle had regained its apparent perfection.

    Yet something else happened as I watched this YouTube video. That sense of doubt, slowly creeping into mind’s eye, began to vanish like a drop of water, patiently waiting for a miracle. Have a look for yourself.




    They call it “Magnetic Silly Putty.” Now I’m sure any old physics book can explain why a ball of silly putty is able to absorb a cube of metal. That’s not the point. The point is this: a circle hides a square inside its belly. And hell, if this is true, then who’s to say that a two-dimensional eyeball of unknown origin isn’t creeping into your mind’s eye at this very moment?

    So before I take my leave, I must first offer my apologies. I am sorry for thinking that your thoughts were strangling me.



    What the Flux.

  • Trailer: Rango

    // July 2nd, 2010 // No Comments » // Movies





    Rango is about a household lizard who becomes lost in the desert. The trailer doesn’t show us much more then a hot and bothered amphibian zigzagging around in a shrieking panic; but the animation is just stunning. From Rango’s Hawaiian shirt to the guitar playing amigo-owls: the visuals look gorgeous. Overall, we have high hopes for Rango; after all, Depp will be reunited with director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of Carribbean).  This dynamic duo notwithstanding, there is reason to be nervous. These days, Pixar and Dreamworks are the big players in animated films. But the only film from Nickolodeon Pictures which has developed any kind of revenue is Bolt.


    Rango hits theaters March 4, 2011.
