I’ve seen this knocking about the internet in spits and spats, really cool!

Christopher Priest is an English Writer, whose works I have never read, tonight though I watched The Prestige based on a novel he wrote, it has been adapted by Christopher Nolan who directed films such as Memento, Insomnia and brought an air of respectability to the Batman franchise with Batman Begins this year.
In my opinion, The Prestige has got to be in the running for best film of 2006 and in my top ten for clever storytelling and making you go wow, during and when you watch the film.

I realise I’d have to leave out so many things that made this film great in order not to spoil anyones enjoyment of its clever plot, fantastic characters, original twist and genuinely gripping storyline. Visually its quite a dramatic feast too, with plenty of attention to detail, great lighting, makeup, costumes and fantastic props, which enhance its overall richness.

If I could recommend one film to film lovers this year, this would be it. I know I’ll be watching it again.
Don’t bother watching the trailer, having seen the film first, i think the trailer or its associated webjunk would have put me off.

I really like this site, very simple, but should have been done in html as there is no need for flash here.
Anyway enjoy its got a very nice graphic style.

Very nice site, but this is the best Jethro Haynes

If you’ve read the book over a year ago you probably wont be disappointed. If you remember minor details then you might. My major gripes were just about those details.. nothing more. Good Film, decent Directing. music was characteristically Hans Zimmer.

I’d happily discuss what I thought was rubbish about the film in the comments, if anyone else goes to see it.

American dad (Wikipedia) is pretty hilarious and entertaining, Im not into Seth McFarlane’s family guy, but this really shines. Politically correct, incorrect and everything else rolled into one (Patrick Stewart included).. if you havent seen it, you can pick it up from Sainsbury’s for the same price as on Play.

I was checking the Clor website and found this in the links, KONONO N°1.

“The musicians come from an area which sits right across the border between Congo and Angola. Their repertoire draws largely on Bazombo trance music, but they’ve had to incorporate the originally-unwanted distorsions of their sound system. This has made them develop a unique style which, from a sonic viewpoint, has accidentally connected them with the aesthetics of the most experimental forms of rock and electronic music”

Just been browsing this week’s Design week and came across an interesting article on ‘Pet Architecture’ in Tokyo.

‘Pets, companion animals of the people, are usually small, humorous and charming. We find what we could call “Per Architectur”, architecture having pet like characteristics, existing in the most unexpected places within the Tokyo city limits…’

If you didn’t see the article read it here.

Its being led by an Anglo Italian practice in Tokyo called Klein Dytham, who display a really interesting body of work. They’ve even plugged the google maps api into their site! (how friggin tech am I!)

I love the banner at the bottom of the site ‘Refreshingly Flash Free’
