Slacker Cinema's Big Birthday Bonanza!!

Woohoo! It's Slacker Cinema's first birthday! Well, technically it was last Friday, but I decided to give myself a well earned week off. Join me now as I take a look back at my big year of film blogging, pointing out the fun times we've had and the often unforgivable errors I've made...

TRON: LEGACY - The Soundtrack

We may have to wait just over a week to see how Tron: Legacy has turned out (I got to see the 20 minutes of preview footage and was very impressed with the visuals), but we can experience the soundtrack in all its glory now.


The music for the film was created by Daft Punk, who are themselves life long fans of the original Tron and have sneaked a cameo in this sequel. This soundtrack is pretty awesome stuff that meshes well with the electronic world created by Jeff Bridges Kevin Flynn. Here's the video for 'Derezzed' as a taster. See if you can spot Daft Punk.

If you fancy catching yourself a bargain, you can currently download the whole album for just £3.99 from Amazon's MP3 store. It's a limited time offer that runs out this Sunday (12/12/10), so don't hang about on this one folks.

Tron: Legacy Preview

The other night I was lucky enough to get to see 23 minutes of 3D footage from the soon to be released Tron: Legacy. In short, it was glorious. The whole event was part of a preview that Disney had organised across the country, and I was fortunate enough to receive some tickets from Adam at the excellent film site, hopelies.com. If you want to know my feelings on what I got to see from the film, I recommend you head over to hopelies.com to check out my report.

SLACKER trailer review

Trailers are an important tool in building buzz and anticipation for films. A good trailer can sell a bad movie, a bad trailer can kill a good movie. Here we try and tell the difference between the two and pick out the most anticipated new films.
