SERENITY - Wings of Madness (video)

I've been a fan of SERENITY since 2007 and even have a copy of their Starseed V.R. demo EP (2003/2004). As I await my copy of their newly released album, War Of Ages, the band just released a new video for "Wings Of Madness". This is the debut of the band's new co-lead vocalist Clémentine Delauney, former touring member now full-time.

From wikipedia:
Serenity was founded in Tyrol, Austria in January 2001 receiving "fine reviews" for their first demo "Starseed V.R.". In 2003/2004, three of the original members left the band. The replacement members were contacted throughout February to March 2004. The band's next demo, "Engraved Within", was released in April 2005 and was met with positive reviews from such reputable magazines as Germany's Metal Hammer. Their first full album, "Words Untold and Dreams Unlived", was released in Europe on April 27, 2007 and May 8 in the USA and Canada through Napalm Records. The band toured Europe in support of "Words Untold and Dreams Unlived" with Morgana Lefay, Threshold and later Kamelot. The second full length album entitled "Fallen Sanctuary" was produced from December 2007 to April 2008 and was released August 29, 2008 in Europe and September 9 in the USA. The CD contains the band's first video clip "Velatum" which was shot by director Robert Geir and "Wildruf" camera crew from July 2 to 5, launched online on July 17 to promote the upcoming album.

KICK ASS 2 - Hit Girl featured in new trailer (video)

As a huge fan of the first film, I cannot wait for the next chapter! 

If you have not seen Kick Ass yet, go now.  

One of the best "superhero" movies from a whole different perspective.

Hit Girl rocks! (and it looks like she is a major part of the sequel!)

KICK ASS 2 will be released worldwide in August

THE WOLVERINE: International Trailer (video)

Looks like we will finally get a worthy Wolverine movie!
(I was always a Cyclops fan and feel he got the short end of the stick in the movies, but that's another story.)  

James Mangold is directing and I have enjoyed his work on Identity, Kate & Leopold and 3:10 to Yuma. (He also directed: Girl, Interrupted, Knight and Day, Walk The Line, Copland, etc)

The WOLVERINE opens in July!

OBLIVION - a home built at 3,000 feet above the ground (video)

I am actually looking forward to this flick.  Interesting premise, young director with vision... great sci-fi has been made of lesser ingredients. and it has Morgan Freeman!

 Oblivion is an upcoming 2013 science fiction film based on the Radical Comics graphic novel Oblivion by Joseph Kosinski and directed and co-produced by Kosinski. It stars Tom Cruise, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo, Zoë Bell, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. The film was initially scheduled to release on July 10, 2013. Since the 3D re-release of Jurassic Park was set for a July 19, 2013 release date, the project was moved forward to April 19, 2013.

According to Kosinski, Oblivion pays homage to science fiction films of the 1970s.

Joseph Kosinski (born May 3, 1974) is an American television commercial and feature film director best known for his computer graphics and computer generated imagery work. He made his big-screen directorial debut with the Disney Digital 3-D science fiction film Tron: Legacy, the sequel to the 1982 film Tron. His previous work has primarily been with CGI related television commercials including the "Starry Night" commercial for Halo 3 and the award-winning "Mad World" commercial for Gears of War.

Happy Birthday RICHARD TANDY (video)

Richard Tandy (born March 26, 1948, in Birmingham, England), is a British musician, best known as the keyboard player in the rock band, Electric Light Orchestra ("ELO"). His palette of keyboards (including Mini Moog, clavinet, mellotron, and piano) was an important ingredient in the group's sound, notably on the albums A New World Record, Out of the Blue, Discovery, and Time.

Educated at Moseley School, where he first met future band-mate Bev Bevan, Tandy would later be reunited with Bevan in 1968 when he played the harpsichord on The Move's number one chart-topper "Blackberry Way". Later, in 1972, Tandy was the bass player in the first live line-up of ELO, then switching to keyboards when Jeff Lynne decided that their live sound needed improvement. Tandy was often seen on stage playing the stereotypical 1970s prog-rock stack of keyboards, with bass pedals under his feet. As well as ELO, he has collaborated musically with Jeff Lynne on many projects, among them songs for the Electric Dreams soundtrack, Lynne's solo album Armchair Theatre and Lynne produced Dave Edmunds "Information". Before joining ELO Tandy played with the groups The Uglys and Balls.

In 1985 Tandy formed the Tandy Morgan Band featuring Dave Morgan and Martin Smith, both of whom had worked with ELO in live concerts. In 1985, the Tandy Morgan band released the concept album Earthrise. A remastered version was released on CD on the Rock Legacy label in 2011. A follow-up to Earthrise with previously unpublished tracks was released as "The BC Collection", containing one track written by Tandy: "Enola Sad".

Tandy is featured on all ELO albums with the exception of the first. He was also credited as co-arranger on the album Eldorado onwards. Some of the ideas for the ELO album titles thought up by Richard Tandy were A New World Record, Out of the Blue, and Discovery. In 2012 Tandy teamed up again with Jeff Lynne to record another ELO project, a live set of the bands biggest hits recorded at Jeff Lynne's Bungalow Palace home recording studio, which was broadcast on TV.
