Available in June on A-Film: The Babadook

Director: Jennifer Kent

Stars: Essie Davis, Noah Wiseman, Daniel Henshall 

Amelia, who lost her husband in a car crash on the way to give birth to Samuel, their only child. She struggles to cope with her fate as a single mom. Samuel's constant fear of monsters and violent reaction to overcome the fear doesn't help her cause either, which makes her friends become distant. When things can not get any worse, they read a strange book in their house about the 'Babadook' monster that hides in the dark areas of their house. Even Amelia seems to feel the effect of Babadook and desperately tries in vain to destroy the book. The nightmarish experiences the two encounter form the rest of the story.

A fresh breeze runs through the international Modern-Metal-scene. No other band currently merges the essences of Gothic-, Nu- and Symphonic-Metal as explosively as Aeverium on their debut album „Break Out.“

The album starts out with a whizz-bang-projectile of a song, expertly fusing the energy of early Linkin Park with the cinematic sound of Evanescence in the album's title track, while brilliantly showcasing how well Aeverium's two singer complement each other: on the one hand a versatile male singer who can easily handle the entire range of Modern Metal vocals, from hard shouts to melodic power vocals, plus a powerful female voice that captivates with an impressive bandwidth ranging from Heavenly Voices to operatic singing, on the other. Progressing through „Break Out“, Aeverium prove that they can also handle the symphonic terrain of bands like Within Temptation or Nightwish expertly, only to lunge back into a full frontal assault of power riffs in the next moment. One thing that instantly impresses is the massive sound emanating from the speakers. Co-producer Sander Gommans (ex-After Forever, HDK) and the mastering work of Jos Driessen in the Sandlane Sound Facilities (Epica, Xandria, Stream Of Passion) have created an impressive production that will give any major big budget US-Modern-Metal-album a run for its money. Vocals were recorded by Amanda Somerville (Avantasia, Trillium, Kiske/ Somerville), who also lends her voice to an impressive duet with Aeverium's lead on the song „What Are You Waiting For.“ „Break Out“ is released as a regular album CD and as a deluxe edition featuring a bonus EP with acoustic versions. Aeverium are THE newcomer to keep an eye on, this year, with one of the most massive Metal-productions of the last few years at their hands.

Listening to the second full-length by SELOFAN, it is worth wondering how that many music elements and different styles can be perfectly combined into one homogenous soundtrack – a trip back in time and yet so modern and individual! 12 new tracks of diverse music structures and moods, which reflect the maturation of this gifted duo. Side A is of a deep romantic sensibility. Unlike their previous “Verboten” LP, though still following the synthesizer and drum machine strategies, Selofan use more instruments, the bass and saxophone playing the leading role, all put together at their home studio. This record needs “instructions for use” and you will find them on the B side. Things are not as they seem, each track reveals a completely new cosmos, a piece of classical piano music, a rhythmic tango, old school dark wave and synthpunk tracks coexist in harmony. The expressive story-telling enters the mind with caustic lyrics of existential anguish as well as the poetry of Rilke and Hesse. 

From 16th June on DVD and Blu-ray: Foxcatcher

STARRING STEVE CARREL, CHANNING TATUM AND Mark Ruffalo

Foxcatcher is a touching and true psychological drama about an American billionaire who loses reality.

John Du Pont (Steve Carell), scion of a wealthy family, has two Olympic wrestling champions in sight: the brothers Mark (Channing Tatum) and Dave Schultz (Mark Ruffalo). While Dave keeps the necessary distance, Mark draws on the estate foxcatcher and gets an intense bond with the eccentric John Du Pont. The longer Mark in this dominant man lives on his estate, the more he becomes entangled in a web of paranoia and betrayal. With a fantastic role of the almost unrecognizable Steve Carell who was tipped for the Oscars.
