Burn

Watch this rad collaboration between Mojo and Coca Cola's new energy drink Burn. Shot in Mexico City by Garth Davis, it is epic, eye-sexy, has a cracking soundtrack and loads of flaming skating action (literally). For the other two films go to mojothings.

Thanks Pete.

Election 2010 Australia thinks about deciding - Real Action

Tony Abbott and his Coalition of the willing have decided to go Mad Men this election with the use of a jingle to break up Tony's close-talking to camera. The jingle isn't exactly Kraft's "Happy Little Vegemites" or even Sanitarium's "So Good". In fact the jingle sounds lifted from a Michael Bolton track last heard playing Saddam Hussein's summer palace in 1991.

Hang on, Jessica Fletcher! Something just hit me. Saddam Hussein, summer in Baghdad, people with mullets... Oh my forgiving god (forgiving as long as you don't believe in a woman's right to choose, climate change or board shorts), the coalition actually secretly love 'boat people' (and given property prices in this country I think these boat existing people are on to something).

I knew Julie Bishop had put poor Tony up to some crazy kinky shit, but this is surprising.

I just can't wait for the election to be over so the Coalition can go back to writing Sea Patrol starring Lisa's McKune.

Election 2010 Australia thinks about deciding - Moving Forward

Exit Through the Gift Shop

Many people ask if this film is real or just an elaborate hoax. I'd ask the same if I wasn't currently battling internet and iphone caused late-onset ADHD. All I know is this film is funny like balls (Bansky in-particular, what a genius) and if you don't leave it wanting to punch Mr. Brainwash right in the facehole I would be disappointed.

Word Pong

It's the nonsensiscal sensation that is sweeping, well me and one other person I know. Simply combine three unrelated things in a form of texted, emailed or spoken haiku and wait for the response. Point are awarded for originality of subject matter and combination and sheer vibe of the overall communication.

For example it could go:

"Abstract contractions, bombastic reactions, kippers made into a jam."

to which there could be the reply:

"Beard removal, a salad sandwich, double denim."

And so on and so forth:

"Stephen Segal, the age old battle of the sexes, The Man From Snowy River but set on the moon."

"Breaker Morant, talcum powder, the forms needed to receive medicinal marijuana."

"Japanese rice wine (in a simpler time before we called it saki), Jimmy Hendrix, binding documents solely for sexual favours."

"Murray's Murray River party cruise, le creuset, the pencil shavings of an already stubby (and extremely size-conscious) Ikea pencil."


"A reuben sandwich, Kevin Sorbo, a cream to reduce the irritation of the seven year itch."

Predators

I have thankfully missed out on all of the recent Alien vs Predator, Predator vs Predator and Predator vs Erkle films. In fact my sole knowledge of the Predator is Arnie fighting them on VHS. But when I heard that Robert Rodriguez had produced the film and it was staring art house muser Adrien Brody I thought it could be interesting, like maybe Brody falls in love with a Predator, only to have it break his heart, leave his con gang and cause him to go on an enchanted train journey across the indianesque subcontinent of the Predator home world. I thought he may even play the piano, while on the run from the space Nazis.

Sadly Hollywood again missed a trick, with none of the above taking place. What you get instead is a fairly intelligent genre film with an unnervingly gruff talking Brody. Perhaps it wasn't intentional, maybe he was just hungover the whole shoot? I know I would be.

Either way I would've given this film 5 stars if it had 100% more Arnie.

People of Prague: The family that smokes together

Animal Kingdom

What is it about Australia that we struggle to make a happy film? Is it all those years of living under the tyrannical rule of former PM John Howard's eye brows (everyone knows they were really control, they also had a tawdry affair with Bronwyn Bishop's hair helmet) or is it that all Australian film-makers suffer from the film equivalent of emotional eating?

Either way this is no Dude Where's My Car. It is however a good film, with a fair share of plot turns and cracking performances (Jackie Weaver's has a mind blowing gear change, while Guy Pearce's mustache almost steals the show).

I would give it 4 stars mainly for getting Air Supply's 'All Out of Love' stuck in my head.

YouTube what did I do without you? Double Rainbow

As fully grown human adults we recognise that many things can cause orgasm. In fact according to the wikipedia truth-site there are over 800,000 scientifically recognised causes, from ankle-binding to Zelda from The Legend of Zelda. But seemingly the best results come when the refraction of light in droplets of water in the atmosphere cause a rainbow (the birthplace of Rainbow Bright). But not just any rainbow a rainbow two-way (I'd like to one day have a twosome, people tell me it's good).

Watch below as the viewer of this rarefied optical and atmospheric naughtiness reacts accordingly.

Toy Story 3 3-D

Pixar can't seem to do anything wrong. In fact after seeing Toy Story 3 3-D and the accompanying short Day & Night it almost wouldn't matter - if Pixar decided to mate a baby seal and a baby panda only to sell the almost world-destroyingly cute offspring (they'd have to go to Japan of course to make this experiment possible) to Fox News solely to produce fur coats for Sarah Palin - as long as they keep making such well constructed, beautifully looking, hilarious and yet moving films like Toy Story 3.

I also expect Giant Baby to win best supporting actor at next year's Oscars.
