Modern Warfare 2, out 10/11/09

The big daddy! It is creeping ever closer to one of the biggest game releases of all time. Millions of gamers will be turning up late for school/work for months on end once they get sucked in to the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2. Check out the videos to see why. I cannot wait and I’m sure we will be talking a lot more about this one in future shows. Modern Warfare 2 is out on PS3 as well as 360.

Fable 3 Teaser

The Fable 3 teaser we spoke about on the show a little while back. There’s not much info on what the game will actually entail but its something to look forward to in any case. Xbox 360 only again…

Halo 3 ODST out on 22/09/09

Yes, that is THIS Tuesday. Very convenient as the next show is on Thursday 24/09/09. We’ll be talking more about the game then and I’ll give my first impressions. If I can scrape the funds together to buy it that is! In the meantime, to whet your appetite, here is the advert for the game, shown on TV in the USA.

STRAX/ Moving Pictures: Masters of Time by Mœbius

Tonight at the Victoria, we will be showing Masters of Time, a 1982 Franco – Hungarian animated Sci- Fi film directed by René Laloux and designed by Mœbius. It is based on the 1958 Sci- Fi novel, L’Orphelin de Perdide (The Orphan of Perdide) by Stefan Wul.

The film centres around a boy, Piel, who is stranded on Perdide, a desert planet where giant killer hornets live. He awaits rescue by the space pilot Jaffar, the exiled prince Matton, his sister Belle and Jaffar’s old friend Silbad who are trying to reach Perdide and save Piel before it is too late.

Mœbius was involved wit pre- production designs for Star Wars, Bladerunner, Tron and the Fifth Element.

Moving Pictures: The Conversation

THE CONVERSATION (1974, Coppola)

Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) is a private surveillance expert in San Francisco, has been hired by ‘the Director’ to follow and record the actions of his wife, Ann (Cindy Williams), and her lover, Marc (Frederic Forrest). Using three separate microphones, Caul and his associates follow the couple around Union Square. Later, he pieces together a conversation that clearly indicates the two are in a relationship and that they fear being found out by the Director. Job well done you may think.

However, Caul is a secretive, almost paranoid individual. He alienates his assistant, Stan (John Cazale), because he won’t teach him more about audio surveillance, and his girlfriend, Amy (Teri Garr), because he won’t share with her details about his career or personal life. He also refuses to hand over the tapes of Ann and Marc to the Director’s assistant, Martin (Harrison Ford). The Director had specified that the tapes were to be turned over only to him. Martin protests but Caul keeps the tapes.

Caul becomes increasingly concerned that, were he to turn the tapes over to the Director, that some harm would come to Ann and Marc. On the tapes, Marc can be heard to say “He’d kill us if he had the chance.” When he worked on the East Coast, Caul had participated in a surveillance that led to the deaths of two persons. He worries that this might happen again, and goes to church to confess his sins.

After the tapes go missing, Caul begins to break down as he is sucked into an impossible situation that severely compromises both himself and his morals.

A fantastic thriller; Francis Ford Coppola’s sites this as his best film, and had to wait 8 years to finance it, in which time he made the Godfather.

Thursday 20th August | 6pm | The Victoria |
