Karen O and The Kids

Karen O. of Yeah Yeah Yeahs rocks our world. Her single All Is Love (off the WTWTA soundtrack) was just released on iTunes. Miss O. co-produced, wrote and performed the songs along with a gaggle of rockers nicknamed "the kids" that include but are not exclusive to members from Deerhunter, YYY's, Dead Weather, Gris Gris, and Queens of the Stone Age, not to mention a children's choir that will most likely endear us even more to the film adaptation of one of our favorite childhood books.

Scheduled to release September 29 on DGC/Interscope.

Lars von Trier: Antichrist

Although TLF has always looked forward to Lars von Trier’s films, we have to admit that when we read that his latest Antichrist had provoked extreme reactions (booing, gasping, laughter, light applause, et al.) from its audience at the Cannes Film Fest screening last May we underlined this as one of our top priorities for Fall. Granted, he’s not a “repeat offender” (never could bring ourselves to watch the incredible Dogville a second time). The cherry and whipped cream on top is that Antichrist pairs our favorite gamine Charlotte Gainsbourg with Willem Dafoe, whose understated off-screen persona helps to fuel the suspension of our disbelief when it concerns the intensity of his roles. 

The uncut version of Antichrist is scheduled to release in NYC on October 23.

Weekend Watching: Straw Dogs

There's nothing like seeing Dustin Hoffman lose his cool. After popping in our copy of The Graduate as white noise for putzing around the apartment we were once again riveted to the screen for the full hour and forty-six, thanks to the charisma of early Dustin and not one scene wasted. Reminds us of another of our favorites, Straw Dogs. Inspiring seventies style juxtaposed with the timelessness of the English countryside.
