Movie: Sleuth 1972 + 2007

By accident, we discovered Sleuth, two British movies about an older and a younger man fighting over a woman by playing (psychological) games.
We watched both the original (1972) and the more recent version (2007) and they are both intense, somewhat complementary crime plays.
Funnily enough, amazing actor Michael Caine is playing the younger bloke (Milo Tindle/Tindolini) in the original version and the older gentleman (Andrew Wyke) in the new version. In the original, his companion is Laurence Olivier, while Jude Law is delivering a great performance (maybe a little bit too gay-ish-crazy for my taste) in the 2007 film.

Julian Neville's Lowlight - Dancing in NYC

My buddy (and step god cousin) Julian just finished his cool movie Lowlight about the dancing scene in NYC. He smoothly interweaves his personal search for Big Apple's magic moments and a documentary on the ridiculousness of the R.A.V.E. act that forbids dancing. Screenings at selected venues are announced on the movie's website: lowlightnyc.com and there's a nice feature on spiegel.de today.

Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme (2000)

I really appreciate googlevideo as a platform for rare documentaries! Thanks to whoever uploads them, that's how I imagine the internet to be: a repository for the creation and preservation of multimedia-based episodic or semantic memory.
Check out this one: Freestyle - the Art of Rhyme from 2000. One hour on the discipline of freestyle in hiphop. It features all big names in the black music and rap scene like Mos Def, Biggie, Tupac, Questlove and Black Thought, Kool Herc, Freestyle Fellowship, Eminem, and of course the Lyricist Lounge.
