Are you ready for a taste of ... Netflix Winding Refn?
Yes, filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn has returned to his native Denmark for his newest project, "Copenhagen Cowboy." His second venture into the world of streaming after the 2019 crime drama "Too Old to Die Young" but his first with Netflix, "Copenhagen Cowboy" is a six-part tale centered on a mostly-silent, enigmatic lead prone to shocking outbursts of violence as they undertake a dangerous odyssey across a neon-soaked criminal underworld. It is, in other words, a Nicolas Winding Refn creation through and through.
In this case, however, "Copenhagen Cowboy" was actually cooked up during the pandemic lockdowns by Refn, his wife Liv Corfixen (who's also a producer on the series), and their daughter Lola Corfixen, the latter of whom co-stars as the character Rakel. Speaking at a press conference at the 2022 Venice Film Festival (via Deadline), where the show made its debut,...

It took a pandemic and a lockdown for “Drive” director Nicolas Winding Refn to make a directorial comeback in Denmark, where he had delivered the “Pusher” trilogy early in his career.
“Sometimes the strangest things come in mysterious ways, and this is one of those,” Refn says of “Copenhagen Cowboy,” his Netflix original series, slated to world premiere Sept. 9 at the Venice Film Festival.
Since “Drive,” Winding Refn has directed the Bangkok-set thriller “Only God Forgives,” with “Drive” star Ryan Gosling; “The Neon Demon,” with Elle Fanning playing an aspiring model in Los Angeles.; and the Amazon Prime Video series “Too Old to Die Young,” starring Miles Teller as a grieving cop in crime-ridden Southern California. He was preparing another project set abroad when the pandemic hit.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched Season 1, Episode 6 of Disney Plus’ “WandaVision.”
The last time we caught up with Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision’s (Paul Bettany) quirky adventures through television eras, we were in the curly and corny and colorful 1980s, dealing with superpowered and superaging twins, Vision’s growing consciousness of the anomalies of “WandaVision,” a dog that died for the bogus reason of eating too many of the next-door sorceresses’ azalea leaves and Wanda breaking her own fourth wall to confront S.W.O.R.D.
The sixth episode of “WandaVision” was just as replete with sitcom zaniness — heavily inspired by the early aughts Fox series “Malcolm in the Middle” — and with scenes of the investigative research of agents and scientists-gone-rogue. But that also means that this episode has left us with, yes, you guessed it, a bunch of puzzles to crack.

This Sunday on ABC’s Once Upon a Time, we learned more about how Merlin originally got trapped inside the tree — as well as the lengths to which Emma went to get him out.

Nicolas Winding Refn's haunting, mostly silent and meditative Viking movie “Valhalla Rising” came out all the way back in 2009. In our review way back when, we described it as akin to “Terrence Malick making a horror movie,” and that’s kinda not far off the mark (maybe Kubrick making a twisted nature movie too). “I always wanted to make a drug movie. Because you can present it in one way as this movie is about some Vikings going crazy and killing each other. But at least I can see now that it has many themes going through it and it's very open to interpretation,” Refn told us in a 2009 interview. “It’s about science-fiction but without science. It's about faith, and what's beyond faith is when you die.” One of the more terrific elements of the movie was the score by Peter Peter and Peter Kyed (they did Refn...

While "Bronson," "Drive" and "Only God Forgives" solidified Nicolas Winding Refn as a director known for his powerful filmmaking and the carefully curated scores and songs he assembles for his films, one movie seemed to be left behind: "Vahalla Rising." The moody, near wordless flick may not be as popular as those other films, but the score is just as stirring anything in those films. And finally, it's getting a proper release. The score by Peter Peter and Peter Kyed will get equal face time on the forthcoming disc as the work by sound designers Giles Lamb and Douglas MacDougall, in what is collaboratively a pretty beautifully oppressive combination of sounds. But the catch in all this? Milan Records will drop the disc overseas, on October 7th, so you'll either have to import it or wait for domestic date, if/when that ever arrives. and also release the album (CD...

The 2013 Polaris Prize long list was announced today, June 13, in Montreal, revealing the forty Canadian albums that made it through the first round of the $30,000 critic-voted best Canadian album award.
“This year's Long List is all over the map, but in the best possible way,” said Polaris Music Prize founder Steve Jordan in a press release. “A lot of our jury expressed that this was the most difficult Polaris ballot they’ve ever submitted. The results of this careful and passionate deliberation will make for some truly engaging listening for music."
Indeed the music prize long list is incredibly eclectic, a testament to the diversity of Canadian music, and ranges from the popular electro-rock of Metric and noise-rock of Metz to electric powwow crew A Tribe Called Red and turntablist Kid Koala to the art-pop of The Luyas and the pop-pop of Tegan and Sara. While not entirely unexpected, the...

Once upon a time, the success of Canadian indie musicians at SXSW music festival in Austin, TX was news. The rise of Broken Social Scene, The Constantines, Metric, Stars and their ilk was often traced to a series of hype-building showcases down south that introduced our northern rockers to the rest of the world.
Flash forward a decade and SXSW is kicking off its 27th annual music festival with a series of showcases and parties that just happen to be headlined by Canadians, though the names on their passports no longer matters.
Media Temple’s big Interactive closing party, intended to embed the web-hosting company’s “dedication to creativity and innovation” in the brains of drunken partygoers, boasts an unprecedented joint-dj set between techno legend Richie Hawtin and Edm impresario Deadmau5, both of whom are also doing a panel session earlier in the day to talk tech.

Jerry's on the couch, looking like he's in the opening stage of a migraine, and reminds her that if she hadn't told the Feds the truth she wouldn't be frozen out. Eileen snaps back that some people still value integrity. In show business?
She suspects Jerry is enjoying her powerlessness a little too much. He quips that she could never be powerless; she's just not the producer. He exits and she's on her way out too, telling her assistant Liz that she'll be visiting mobbed up bartender Nick.

The story (via Collider) follows Peter Parker, whose "life is busy" what with snatching up bad guys and smooching his lady friend Gwen Stacy, so for him "high school graduation can't come quickly enough." Oh, and he's totes taking Gwen's daddy's warning to stay away from the girl with a grain of salt because "that's a promise he just can't keep."

It's that time of year where we celebrate the memorable games from the last year. The best, the best-looking, the one's that kept us on the edge of our seat, and the ones that nearly had us tossing the controller in frustration. Be sure to check out the other MTV Multiplayer Best of 2012 lists!
In 2012, we taken a closer look at some of the soundtracks gracing the games we liked throughout the year--from the orchestral, Hollywood-style scores by award-winning composers to curated collections featuring indie and underground hits.
So what sounded good in games in 2012?
This presented a welcome challenge: a lot of games sounded pretty good, and it took some time to whittle the choices down to just a top three. That's not going to stop us from pointing your earholes towards some worthy runners-up.

Future Oscars host and "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane is no stranger to the culture and history of the Academy and its yearly kudosfest. "Family Guy" has poked fun at the Oscars on several occasions. In the season two episode "Peter Peter Caviar Eater," Brian the dog is tasked with turning his buffoonish master Peter Griffin from a slob into a sophisticated gentleman. When someone questions if he will be able to complete the task by the next day, Brian scoffs and says that he's pulled off miracles in the past. The show then cuts to a man announcing, "And the Oscar goes to, Marisa Tomei!" Tomei kisses Brian and as she walks up to accept her award, Brian gets a high five from Jack Nicholson. -Insertgroups:11- In the season seven's "Road to Germany," the episode opens with an Oscar party being thrown at the Griffin household.

The "Once Upon a Time" executive producers recently told TV Guide that they're hoping to find a part on the show for another "Lost" alum - Jorge Garcia, the awesome Hurley on the former hit drama.
The TV Guide writers float the idea of Stromboli, the villainous Pinocchio character, as a possible role for Garcia, which isn't bad at all. But it got us thinking - who else might Garcia play?
In the traditional, well-known fairy tales, there aren't a ton of male characters left. The one that springs to mind first for us is The Beast of "Beauty and the Beast." Plus then we'd get some awesome make-up.
But branching off a bit - the show has already touched on "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," which opens up a whole host of characters from that book and its sequel, "Through the Looking Glass." There's the Jabberwocky, the Red and White kings,...

Ok, so the events of two nights before are finally coming into focus (see previous entry here). I’m referring to the infamous Karoke party initiated by the Film Festival Mafia and spearheaded by Austin Fantastic Fest’s Tim League and NY Asian fest programmer Mark Walkow, neither of whom had any reservations about getting on stage and belting out a few tunes, even sober. For me, it takes a few of those fishbowl-size drinks before I muster the courage to give the B-52’s “Love Shack” a try. I was going to keep these drunken revelries to myself, but once an incriminating photo of me turned up in the daily Sitges festival newspaper a day later, and various celebrants had secretly videotaped the sordid affair, I had no choice but to come clean. Now I know how David Letterman felt last week.
