Naval Destroyer Nathan James is sent on what they're told is a research mission in the Arctic. Accompanying them is scientist, Rachel Scott. After a few months in the Arctic while Scott is on the ice doing research, some men attack them. They get back to the ship and the Commander, Tom Chandler asks the doctor what's going on. She says that a deadly disease broke out a few months ago. At first, they thought it was contained but they had no cure. They felt that the cure was in the Arctic which why she's here. But she has since received word that it has now spread to most of the globe. Chandler tries to call the President but learns the President and Vice President are dead and the US government might not have long to survive. The current President tells him that the Nathan James was not in the hot zone so he and his crew are OK. But now it's up to them to safeguard Scott because she holds the key to the planet's survival. But there are those who want the cure too and will do what they...
Er zijn slechtere plaatsen op aarde om tijdens een wereldwijde pandemie te vertoeven dan op de ogenschijnlijk rustige U.S.S. Nathan James, die op het moment van de uitbraak moederziel alleen rond de poolcirkel dobbert. Niets is echter wat het lijkt in het spannende The Last Ship, want al snel blijkt dat de tocht van het schip allerminst een pleziervaart is. Bovendien vaart de enige persoon die het virus misschien een halt kan toeroepen mee, waardoor het schip al snel een doelwit wordt...
Executive producer van de reeks is Michael Bay, de man die de bioscoopkassa's al meermaals liet daveren met onder andere Transformers, Armageddon en Pearl Harbor. Aan boord vinden we ook nog de knappe Rhona Mitra (Strike Back, Shooter), Adam Baldwin (Chuck) en Eric Dane (Grey’s Anatomy) terug.
Het eerste seizoen van The Last Ship is vanaf 17 juni beschikbaar op Blu-ray™ en DVD.
SYNOPSIS
Een wereldwijde pandemie heeft de wereldbevolking uitgedund. Na vier maanden radiostilte op de Zuidpool keert de crew van de U.S.S. Nathan James terug naar huis, met microbiologe Rachel Scott (Rhona Mitra) aan boord. Ze is de laatste persoon die het virus mogelijk een halt zou kunnen toeroepen. De bemanning en hun kapitein moeten echter eerst de harde waarheid onder ogen zien: zij zijn op miraculeuze wijze overgebleven in een wereld met bijzonder weinig overlevenden.
Het schip en de crew is op een missie om de wereld te redden. De laatste missie, en de enige hoop van de wereldbevolking - in leven blijven tot er een geneesmiddel is gevonden - voor onze toekomst, onze families en de gehele mensheid.
Emerging quietly from the California bay area through their limited edition demos and intimate performances over the last two years, Them Are Us Too have gained a cult following within independent music circles as a young, new take on the revered "4AD sound" of dreamy goth-pop anthems. With a nod to 80’s shoegaze sensibilities, Them Are Us Too creates songs about tragedy and loves-lost that draws devoted listeners to their nostalgic and innocent sound. Kennedy Ashlyn Wenning's vocals have been repeatedly compared to Kate Bush, Harriet Wheeler, and Elizabeth Fraser, with a pitch-perfect octave range carrying songs gracefully between optimistic joy down to undisturbed melancholia - all within one moment of verse.
Guitarist Cash Askew paints a layered and complex backdrop using signature reverberation and washes of stringed ambient tones, akin to Robin Guthrie, Ronny Moorings and Kevin Shields. Perfectly executed songwriting with effortless simplicity and vernal drive, Them Are Us Too’s debut album, Remain, rivals the comparative magic behind the early 4AD catalog and zeitgeist of early Creation Records. Massive, seraphic sound and heartbreaking nostalgia crafted into 8 songs of uncompromising and immaculately orchestrated beauty. At only 21 years of age for both members, Them Are Us Too mask their irrepressible youth underneath their limitless imagination and unparalleled talent, dedicating themselves fully to their uncanny musical creation. The debut album "Remain" on Dais Records was recorded and produced by Joshua Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv, Nine Inch Nails, Sons of Magdalene).
She Past Away has a new album, their second release and called ''Narin Yalnızlık'' It's now available in digital... LP & CD coming soon on Fabrika Records.

Jupiter Jones was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people's houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine Wise, a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along - her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos
Andy en Lana Wachowski toonden in The Matrix en Cloud Atlas al dat de mens zich qua leefwereld niet noodzakelijk hoeft te beperken tot de Aarde. Ook in het visueel verbluffende Jupiter Ascending nemen ze ons opnieuw mee naar een wereld ver buiten ons universum. Met Hollywoodsterren als Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Sean Bean en kersvers Oscarwinnaar Eddie Redmayne beschikt de film over een beresterke cast, en de special effects zijn, zoals we gewend zijn van The Wachowskis, van een heel hoog niveau.
Jupiter Ascending is vanaf 17 juni beschikbaar op Blu-ray™, 3D Blu-ray™, DVD en Video on Demand. De film is ook beschikbaar als Digital Download.
SYNOPSIS
Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) werd geboren in een nacht waarin de tekenen erop wezen dat zij voorbestemd was tot grootse dingen. Nu is ze volwassen en kan ze alleen maar dromen van de sterren, want de keiharde realiteit is dat ze overdag toiletten moet schoonmaken en het leven tot nu toe niet echt mee zit. Maar als Caine (Channing Tatum), een genetisch ontworpen soldaat, op aarde landt om haar op te sporen, ontdekt Jupiter wat de sterren voor haar in petto hadden. Haar genetische handtekening toont aan dat zij de erfgenaam is van een buitengewone erfenis die de balans in de kosmos kan veranderen.

Potent and poetic, mischievous and macabre, Borowczyk’s film shows how many imaginative worlds the horror movie can open up when the right artist holds the keys.
Nigel Andrews, Financial Times
Following unanimous critical acclaim for their 2014 Walerian Borowczyk retrospective collection, Arrow Video is thrilled to announce the world premiere Blu-ray release of Borowczyk’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Miss Osbourne, released on dual-format Blu-ray and DVD from 18th May 2015, marking the first time the film has been made available commercially since the VHS and Laserdisc era.
Often regarded as Borowczyk’s last great film, and his only out-and-out horror film, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Miss Osbourne features his most culty cast including Udo Kier, Patrick Magee and Howard Vernon. The disc will be presented with both the French and English versions of the film, the latter featuring Patrick Magee’s own voice.
This new release will feature a restored high definition transfer, an introduction by critic and long-term Borowczyk fan Michael Brooke and a new audio commentary featuring archival interviews with Walerian Borowczyk, and new interviews with cinematographer Noël Véry, editor Khadicha Bariha, assistant Michael Levy and filmmaker Noël Simsolo, moderated by Daniel Bird.
This new disc will also feature Himorogi (2012), a short film by Marina and Alessio Pierro, made in homage to Borowczyk, alongside interviews with Marina Pierro, artist and filmmaker Alessio Pierro and a video essay by Adrian Martin and Cristina Alvarez Lopez.
Alongside this, the new edition will also include Eyes That Listen, a featurette on Borowczyk’s collaborations with electro-acoustic composer Bernard Parmegiani and Happy Toy (1979), a short film by Borowczyk based on Charles-Émile Reynaud’s praxinoscope. An introduction to Happy Toy by production assistant Sarah Mallinson will also be included.
Rounding off the Blu-ray, a new featurette by Daniel Bird, Returning to Return: Borowczyk and Early Cinema will also be included, along with the reversible sleeve with artwork based on Borowczyk’s own poster design. The booklet will include new writing on the film by Daniel Bird and archive materials, illustrated with rare stills
Synopsis
It’s the engagement party for brilliant young Dr Henry Jekyll (Udo Kier) and his fiancée, the beautiful Fanny Osbourne (Marina Pierro), attended by various pillars of Victorian society, including the astonishing Patrick Magee in one of his final roles. But when people are found raped and murdered outside and ultimately inside the house, it becomes clear that a madman has broken in to disrupt the festivities – but who is he? And why does Dr Jekyll keep sneaking off to his laboratory?
We know the answer, of course, but Walerian Borowczyk’s visually stunning adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s much-filmed tale is crammed with wildly imaginative and outrageously perverse touches characteristic of the man who scandalised audiences with Immoral Tales and The Beast, not least the explicitly sexualised nature of Mr Hyde’s primal urges.
