ROBOCOP – From 13th August on Blu-ray and DVD!
In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years - and it's meant billions for OmniCorp's bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) - a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit - is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.
Director: José Padilha
Stars: Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton

Noblesse Oblige was a Swedish synth pop group that existed between 1982 to 1986. Noblesse filled youth centers and broke box office records at venues around the Växjö and Alvesta municipalities in southern Sweden. Noblesse had loyal fans who followed them wherever they played, and songs like "Morgan Kane," "En sista gång", "Den sista färden", "Drömmar drar förbi" got the crowd dancing. 3 guys behind opposite synthesizers, a singer who was moving across the stage, their provocative outfits / hairstyles and dyed hair epitomized Växjö's musical life.
This limited vinyl release on Dodsdans Records is pressed in only 250 copies worldwide. Highly recommended to lovers of minimal (Swedish) synth.
Award-winning American filmmaker Robert L. Drew, a pioneer of the cinema vérité documentary style, died on Wednesday in Sharon, Connecticut at the age of 90, his family said.
Drew, who made more than 100 films on social issues, politics and the arts during a career that spanned more than five decades, died peacefully surrounded by children and friends.
"He had been declining for some time and it was not completely unexpected," his son, Thatcher Drew, said.
Drew, a former correspondent and editor at Life Magazine and a fighter pilot during World War Two, helped to develop cinema vérité, a direct type of observational or fly on the wall filming to capture reality.
He also founded the documentary film company Drew Associates in the early 1960s. Many of his films were shown on television and screened at international film festivals.
"He believed in the pure form of cinema vérité. It was a strict code that allowed no directing of subjects, no set up shots and no on-camera narrator or correspondent," his son explained.
Along with his innovative directing techniques, Drew also developed lightweight cameras. His film "Primary," which followed John F. Kenney and Hubert Humphrey during the 1960 Wisconsin presidential primary, was the first in which a sync-sound motion picture camera was used.
His most well-know films include "The Chair," about a criminal who finds redemption, and "Faces of November," a short about Kennedy's funeral following his assassination in 1963, which won a prize at the Venice Film Festival.
Drew also won an Emmy in 1969 for the ballet documentary "Man Who Dances." His last film, 2005's "From Two Men and a War," in which he recounted his war experiences and friendship with war correspondent Ernie Pyle, was shown at the Tribeca Film Festival.
"He was deeply involved in every aspect of his craft and was obsessed with it till the end," his son said.
Two of Drew's films are in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry.
Drew is survived by three children and three grandchildren. His wife, Anne, a partner in their filmmaking, died in 2012.
