From 30th June on, Warner will release American Sniper on both DVD and Blu-ray.
Director:Clint Eastwood
Stars:Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Kyle Gallner
Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who wanted to become a cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed something different, something where he could express his real talent, something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. So he joined the SEALs in order to become a sniper. After marrying, Kyle and the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq. Kyle's struggle isn't with his missions, but about his relationship with the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.
"The Legend", "The Devil", het zijn slechts enkele van de namen die in het Amerikaanse leger rechtstreeks met Chris Kyle verbonden zijn. In American Sniper vertelt Clint Eastwood het aangrijpende levensverhaal van de dodelijkste scherpschutter uit de Amerikaanse geschiedenis. Het resultaat is een intense film geworden, waarin een fenomenale Bradley Cooper de rol van zijn leven vertolkt. De acteur werd dan ook volkomen terecht genomineerd voor een Oscar® in de categorie Beste Acteur.
American Sniper, bekroond met een Oscar®, is vanaf 30 juni beschikbaar op Blu-ray™, DVD en Video on Demand. De film is ook beschikbaar als Digital Download.
SYNOPSIS
'American Sniper' is gebaseerd op de memoires van Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, geschreven door Scott McEwen en Jim DeFelice. Kyle is de dodelijkste schutter aller tijden en wordt door zijn vijanden "de duivel" genoemd. Van 1999 tot 2009 vestigde hij een record met de meeste moorden als scherpschutter in de geschiedenis van het Amerikaanse leger. Kyle leerde de fijne kneepjes van het vak al toen hij een kind was en zou een prominente rol gaan spelen in de strijd tegen het terrorisme die na 9/11 van start ging.

“Ader’s project,” Luisa explains, “was a video of him crying. Underneath it just says ‘I’m too sad to tell you.’ And that’s all. People have speculated over what he’s sad about. That it could be the absolute loneliness of all humans and that you can never completely know another person.”
His final project was called ‘Searching For The Miraculous’ - he built a little sailboat, said goodbye to his wife and sailed across the Atlantic. But he never made it and his boat was found several years later in Ireland, washed up.”

Previously Lulu And The Lampshades, this London based quartet changed course when they accrued a wealth of guitar pedals, a fascination for mind-expanding noise and, following a mis-billing in Paris, a new name: Landshapes.
Setting the agenda with the melodious math-rock of their debut Rambutan, they steered into lustrous, psychedelic new realms on new album Heyoon, a sound that formed following a fortnight in a cottage in the woods of Cornwall in September 2014.
“Something about all that fresh air, sea, and woods and fire manifested in something much darker and much more menacing than anything we’d written so far. That’s when it felt like we’d started the album.”
Their thrilling and visceral live performance was captured by recent video ‘Stay’, also taken from Heyoon. The band have recently completed a packed out 3 week residency at London’s Total Refreshment Centre.
Landshapes: climb inside and explore.
Landshapes are: Dan Blackett (drums, vocals), Luisa Gerstein (ukelele, vocals), Heloise Tunstall-Behrens (bass, vocals), Jemma Freeman (guitar, vocals)

PARADISE LOST - Beneath Broken Earth (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
Our new album 'The Plague Within' will be released via CM on June 1st, 2015 in Europe and June 2nd, 2015 in North America!
We have written a very dark, yet melodic album, but this time many songs definitely have a death metal edge, which is something we haven’t done for a long long time in Paradise Lost...
'The Plague Within' is produced and mixed by Jaime Gomez Arellano from Orgone Studios in London (Ghost BC, Ulver, Cathedral, Angel Witch).
The Plague Within, coming June 2015
Wolf, Michael Schenker’s Temple Of Rock and W.A.S.P. complete the line-up for the Alcatraz Metal Festival. Those 3 bands all will be playing on Saturday 8 August in Kortrijk.
Saturday 8 August
The Swedish heavy metal band Wolf kicks off the festival.
Armored Saint, another heavy metal band, plays next. The Los Angeles based band debuted in 1984. John Bush [Anthrax) is the vocalist.
After that, Death Angel, another Californian band will mount the stage. The trash metal quintet from San Francisco, the Bay Area scene will perform at Alcatraz for the 3rd time.
Then it’s time for the gothic metal institute Moonspell. They visit Alcatraz for the 2nd time. The Portuguese band released Extinct, an excellent album, earlier this year. The road to extinction tour passed in Vorselaar, where the crowd could see an intense and impressive live show. Their debut Wolfheart is 20 years old now and became a classic.
Queensrÿche, the American progressive hard rock band, will play next. Their monumental album Operation Mindcrime (’88) is number 7 in Martin Popoff’s book ‘The top 500 heavy metal albums of all time’. On AMF Queensrÿche might play some songs from their new album Building The Empire.
Michael Schenker’s Temple Of Rock is the following band. Martin Schenker, ex-Scorpions and ex-UFO, is considered to be one of the most influential guitarists. He’s a top class guitar player such as Page, Blackmore, Malmsteen and Van Halen.
Overkill, the New Jersey based trash metal pioneers will also attend the festival.
Blackie Lawless returns with the shock rockers W.A.S.P. They present their new album.
Then it’s time for Trivium. The trash metal band from Florida, that had the ambition to become the new Metallica, played a solid set at the previous edition of Graspop.
The headliner on Saturday is Nightwish, the Finnish female fronted symphonic metal band. People worried when Tarja Turunen left the band in 2004. The band replaced her by Anette Olzon and remained succesfull. Nowadays the Dutch Floor Jansen (ex-After Forever) is the band’s front woman.
Sunday 9 August
The Danish hard rock band D.A.D. kick off the 2nd festival day. In their homeland Disneyland After Dark are even more popular than Volbeat.
Powerwolf, the German power metal combo plays next.
Death (DTA) is the following band. Death guitarist Chuck Schindler pioneered the death metal genre with his brutal music and grunts. He passed away in 2001. Two years ago the remaining members formed Death To All as a tribute to the band.
After that it’s time for Annihilator, the Canadian melodic trash metal band from Jeff Waters. The band is known for classic albums such as Alice In Hell (’89) and Set The World On Fire (’93) At Graspop the band proved to be a live sensation.
Carcass, the death metal band from Liverpool that reformed in 2007, plays next.
They are followed up by Behemoth. They play occult blackened death. In 2014 the band from Poland released the critical acclaimed album The Satanists. At Graspop they even succeeded convincing people that aren’t fond of black/death metal.
Then it’s time for another German band, Accept. Udo Dirkschneider, who is also famous for his solo career as U.D.O. is a member of this heavy metal band.
Venom, the black metal pioneers from Newcastle, are next. Cronos (bass & vocals) is the only original member that remains from the band that wrote the benchmark album Black Metal in 1982.
Top of the bill is the glorious Sabaton. This popular Swedish power metal combo doesn’t need an introduction.
