U-RAM CHOE

THE ARTIST

Silent Cinema

Directed by Michel Hazanavicius
Starring Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo and John Goodman

Let’s get the plot out of the way: a leading man in the silent era of films deals with the advent of the dreaded ‘Talkies’. Love, chaos and action ensue. The Artist is the brainchild of French auteur Michael Hazanavicius who has not only made a film about the silent era in Hollywooodland, but has actually made, well, a silent film. Yes there’s music, but no dialogue.

UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING

The True Blood Vampire Diaries

Directed by Måns Mårlind & Björn Stein
Starring Kate Beckinsale, Michael Ealy, India Eisley, Charles Dance

For the unfamiliar, the Underworld series focuses on a world where vampires and werewolves (Lycans) are very real and have been warring for generations. Selene (Kate Beckinsale) is a Death Dealer, an elite vampire soldier who hunts down Lycans wearing the tightest clothes known to man.

CALIFORNIA DREAMING

It seems that California is a pretty chilled place. There have been enough bands, trends and cultures to come out of there just to prove that; and Wavves is no exception. The San Diego natives’ charismatic sound and cheeky lyrics embody everything we have come to expect from sunny state. The boys came to our shores for the first time last year and it seems like they can’t get enough because they are back this year showcasing their two albums King of the Beach and Life Sux. Luckily, fans will have the opportunity to catch their blissed beats not once but twice this year with the recent announcement of a solo sideshow at the Rosemount Hotel on Friday, May 18, in addition to their show at the Groovin’ the Moo festival in Bunbury on Saturday, May 19. Tickets the show at the Rosemont Hotel are available from Heatseeker and tickets to the Groovin’ The Moo are available from Oztix and gtm.net.au.
