The currently brightest new star in the Melodic-Electro-genre returns: CHROM's latest single “Regret & Testify” is an addictive floor filler that culminates in an ultra-catchy anthemic chorus.
There are few bands that have managed to climb to the top segment of the Electro-scene as quickly and as enduringly as CHROM. The new single “Regret & Testify” is a picture-perfect example why. Built on a massive foundation of club-compatible beats and pounding low end, the title song builds up the pressure while singer Christian Marquis is working his magnificent voice up from a sinister and slightly dark verse with menacing undertones to a powerhouse of an anthem.
As a perfect fusion of the harder Dark Electro variety with Future- and Synth-Pop, this club burner will effortlessly get fans of all three camps excited while bringing together sing-along-qualities and potent dance-floor-prowess. Limited to 555 copies in hand-numbered Digipaks, this single offers the title song in a regular- and a beefed-up extended version, as well as three exclusive and bass-laden remixes from Too Dead To Die, Frozen Plasma and Rob Dust. CHROM are also dishing up the exclusive b-side “Rage Against The World” that features the same sort of addictive floor-filling qualities. “Regret & Testify” is an impressive battle cry that will leave you yearning for more – the perfect teaser for the upcoming album!

CULT SCI-FI CLASSIC TRANCERS TIME TRAVELS ONTO BRITISH BLU RAY!
AN EIGHTIES FAVOURITE IS FINALLY HERE – WITH A HEROIC HI-DEF TRANSFER!
The legendary Charles Band has crafted a slew of certified genre classics - from the original RE-ANIMATOR (1985), which helped to launch the producer’s celebrated Empire Pictures, to the likes of PUPPET MASTER (1989) and CASTLE FREAK (1995). However, few of Band’s cinematic achievements are as beloved as his genre-jousting interplanetary gem TRANCERS – starring the iconic Tim Thomerson (NEAR DARK) in his trademark role of Jack Deth. A curious, carnage-packed cross between THE TERMINATOR (1984) and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968), TRANCERS is widely accepted to be one of the finest sci-fi themed films of its decade.
A futuristic law-enforcer, Jack Deth has the unenviable task of tracking down a psychic-psycho who is turning unassuming residents of 1980’s Los Angeles into his zombie servants (and watch out for a clever homage to David Cronenberg’s RABID with the appearance of an ‘infected’ Santa Claus!). Travelling back to 1985, from the year 2247, Deth inhabits the body of an old ancestor - a silver-haired California journalist called Phil Dethton. Coming to terms with the late 20th century proves to be a struggle for Deth but, thankfully, he has a beautiful blonde girlfriend to keep him occupied (played by Academy Award winner Helen Hunt) and an army of antagonists to exterminate! Directed by Band himself, TRANCERS led to five sequels, defined the video rental era and established Hunt as an A-list actress in waiting.
Long-awaited by fans of 88 Films, a company with a proven dedication to Band’s filmic franchises (including UK BluRay premieres of the PUPPET MASTER and SUBSPECIES series), TRANCERS arrives with a glorious new HD master straight from the original camera negative. As such, this galaxy-grappling great has never looked better – and arrives on British shelves with some suitably out-of-this-world extra features. Perhaps most curious, for fans of Jack Deth’s numerous jaunts, is the inclusion of TRANCERS: CITY OF LOST ANGELS – the lost half hour follow-up that Band directed in 1988, three years before his ‘official’ TRANCERS II (1991). Produced as part of an abandoned anthology film (entitled PULSE POUNDERS) both Tim Thomerson and Helen Hunt return for CITY OF LOST ANGELS – making its inclusion on the 88 Films release of TRANCERS all the more rewarding. Also known as TRANCERS 1.5 – such a remarkable oddity is sure to further delight fans of Full Moon Entertainment.
The full specs for TRANCERS, which arrives on November 24th, are listed below:
• Newly transferred and restored in HD from the Original Camera Negative

Nothing seems to stop Clint Eastwood. His latest movie is American Sniper featuring Bradley Cooper. Watch the trailer and you know enough!
Plot Summary:
From director Clint Eastwood comes “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter.
U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.” However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world.
Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the SEAL creed to “leave no man behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.

Genre: Drama
The one-hour HBO drama series created by Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) and executive produced by Sorkin, Scott Rudin, and Alan Poul is back for a second season.
Smart, topical, thought-provoking, and highly entertaining, The Newsroom takes a behind-the-scenes look at a high-rated cable-news program at the fictional Atlantis Cable News (ACN) Network, focusing on the on- and off-camera lives of its acerbic anchor (Jeff Daniels), executive producer (Emily Mortimer), their newsroom staff (John Gallagher, Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Olivia Munn, Dev Patel, and others), news-division boss (Sam Waterston), and parent-company CEO (Jane Fonda). Season 2 takes place over a five-day period leading up to Election Day 2012, and encompasses numerous flashbacks to earlier events from 2011 and 2012.
One of the season's major story arcs involves a wrongful-termination lawsuit made by a staff member alleged to have doctored a report about a suspicious U.S. drone strike. As details about the suit's origin and aftermath emerge, The Newsroom team continues its quixotic mission to "do the news well" in the face of corporate and commercial obstacles, and their personal entanglements.
The second season features a story arc in which the News Night team has reported, and been forced to retract, a false news story about the United States Marine Corps using sarin gas during the war in Afghanistan in 2009.[57] This story is based on a real-life news scandal from 1998, in which CNN and TIME were both criticized for reporting a dubious and unreliably sourced story that the United States had used sarin during the Operation Tailwind excursion in the Vietnam War.[57]
The Newsroom is een reeks die heel wat adelbrieven kan voorleggen. Hoofdrolspeler Jeff Daniels mocht een Emmy in ontvangst nemen voor z'n rol als het cynische nieuwsanker Will McAvoy en de serie zelf werd reeds genomineerd voor twee Golden Globes. Deze HBO - reeks is bovendien een creatie uit de pen van Oscarwinnaar Aaron Sorkin, de man achter The West Wing en de scenario's voor The Social Network, A Few Good Men en Moneyball. Om maar te zeggen dat The Newsroom een reeks is die iedere serieliefhebber in z'n kast moet hebben staan!
Het tweede seizoen van The Newsroom is vanaf 5 november beschikbaar op DVD.
SYNOPSIS
Intelligent, actueel, humoristisch en zeer vermakelijk. The Newsroom neemt je mee achter de schermen van een hoog aangeschreven nieuwsprogramma op het fictieve ACN Network, en focust op de on-en off-cameralevens van nieuwsanker Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels), de nieuwe executive producer Mackenzie McHale (Emily Mortimer, Shutter Island, Hugo), het newsroom personeel en hun redactiechef.
Het overwinnen van een woelige eerste dag met als hoogtepunt een newsflash, waarin net een BP booreiland ontploft in de Golf van Mexico, motiveert het team om op patriottische wijze de missie "breng een goed nieuwsprogramma" te doen slagen, en dat terwijl ze worstelen met de commerciële belemmeringen van de zender en hun eigen persoonlijke verwikkelingen.
