PRETTY COOL: TIM BURTON MoMA Exhbition

I grew up on Tim Burton films (Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The first TWO Batmans,...) and have always admired him as a director. He just opened a exhibition in Mid-town Manhattan at MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) that will explore the full scale of of his work both as a director and concept artist for live-action and animated films, and as an artist, illustrator, photographer, and writer. The exhibition will be on view from November 22, 2009 through April 26, 2010. Peep pics below.

DOPE SHIT: CANON G10

Digital cameras are just another tool of free media, some are cool, some are sleek, but none really compare to the G10 by Canon



This camera is awesome, from its resolution to its clarity. Unfortunately I cant say I own one myself but have been fortunate enough to play around with it every now and then. Its a confidence builder for the amateur photographer , and a cool toy for the real "image-makers"

COOL VID: WU-TANG LEGOS

This has to be one of the dopest stop motion vids I've ever seen. Legos recreate the classic Wu-Tang "Da Mystery of Chessboxin" vid. Peep it below along with the original throwback

"A game of chess is like a swordfight"

Dope Music Video: K'Naan T.I.A (This. Is. Africa)

I spotted this vid yesterday, I immediately expected it to be uber creative mainly because its directed by Partizan's Nabil, but what I didnt expect was the vid to feature a clip from a film a friend of mine shot in Trinidad about a year ago, called "Lioness of Lisabi" which is an autobiographical tale about Fela Kuti's mother. Look for the clip of the two women in the beginning, more film info below.

FILM: Tetro

Im not the one to be all hyped about all the mainstream summer movies coming out, even though I have the release date for Star Trek inked on my calendar. Im more excited to see Tetro the new film from Francis Ford Coppola (Godfather(s), numerous classics) it stars Vincent Gallo who I havent seen act other than in his own films (Buffalo 66, The Brown Bunny). The film is playing at Cannes and will hopefully hit US theatres somewhere amidst all the summer hoopla, or maybe early fall as the fest circuit winds down. Check out the trailer below, ENJOY!
