Movie Preview - CENTRE STAGE: TURN IT UP

October 22nd 2008 03:37
Movie Preview - CENTRE STAGE: TURN IT UP

Turn it up movie poster


Return to the Centre Stage phenomenon with new passions and partners as Sony Pictures Releasing brings the amped-up, high-energy Centre Stage: Turn It Up to cinemas on October 30!


All self-taught dancer Kate Parker has ever wanted to do was perform with the American Academy of Ballet. But when she doesn’t make it after auditioning, she learns that it takes more than precision and perfection to succeed in the dance world. With a turn in a cutting-edge hip-hop club and the help of a good-looking former hockey player, she may just find the passion she needs to make her dreams come true. Peter Gallagher (TV’s “The O.C.”) and a cast of hot up-and-coming stars including newcomers Rachele Smith and Kenny Wormald rock to a new beat in this unmissable sensation!

Starring Rachele Brooke Smith, Kenny Wormald, Peter Gallagher, Ethan Stiefel and directed by Australian filmmaker, Steven Jacobson

Only at the Movies! October 30 For more infomation, visit the official website.

Sydney Street Stylin' - 7 bboys, a bgirl and 2 trickers

April 14th 2008 14:07
Cibby threw up a nice post yesterday about a short video I sent him that my boyfriend made with 7 bboys, a bgirl and 2 trickers. I want to give this video as much exposure as I can because I really love it and not because i'm biased either - see for yourself. It sends chills down my spine each time I watch it, the music is fitting and adds to a "film noir"-type mood. It highlights the best that Sydney has to offer both in local artistic and physical talent; the classic backdrop is shown in a beautiful, different light to what you'd normally see during the busy city days and the slovenly nightlife.

For a moment it doesn't feel like Sydney, but an older, distant place in Europe. Far from the usual picturesque postcards of Bondi Beach, koalas or the Sydney Opera House, the dim glow of the view from the street level is reminiscent of the lifestyles of the same street dancers and trickers in the video - our underground community. Some struggle for recognition and respect from the broader community, others becoming nonchalant after trying for so long.

Enjoy, and show some love

On another note, directly after the end scene in this video, a man was hit by a Lexus at the intersection before the traffic lights turned green. He flipped into the air and landed smack on the pavement, blood gushing out of his head. A rush of pedestrians who witnessed the accident ran to his assistance and to the car that hit him, carrying a bunch of guys wanting to show off after seeing all the filming going on. They were screaming at the people in the car, "DON'T MOVE!!! STAY THERE! WE'RE CALLING THE POLICE!!!" I think the guy who got hit survived, although we're not sure. I hope he is ok, and if he finds this post, please email or comment to let us know you're ok.

KRS ONE & Marley Marl - Hip Hop Lives - CD Review

July 6th 2007 01:09
krs one marley marl hip hop lives review

If you haven't copped this album or heard the track "Hip Hop Lives (I Come Back)" from these two great Hip Hop philosophers, then check it.

"Hip means to know
It's a form of intelligence
To be hip is to be up-date and relevant
Hop is a form of movement
You can't just observe a hop
You got to hop up and do it
Hip and Hop is more than music
Hip is the knowledge
Hop is the movement
Hip and Hop is intelligent movement"



I thought I'd add in Cibby's review of the album:

Hip Hop Lives is the album that fans have been eagerly awaiting for 20 years now… it marks the end of one of the earliest hip hop beefs around, between KRS-One and Marley Marl. Critics were sniffing out the potential of this album back in the day, but, now, in 2007, Marl and The Teacha have finally let old habits die and collaborated.

It’s a response, apparently, to Nas’ album, Hip Hop is Dead, and several tracks on the album suggest that KRS-One wants to push it back to the good spot. The G-Thang Spot, if you will.

But I felt that this album is a more paternalistic record from these two… KRS-One lays it down in ‘I Was There’, essentially pointing out to all the young rappers out there, fronting and perpetrating, that him and Marley Marl were getting it all started, back in the day.

And on that note, it feels a little too preachy at times… KRS never fails to shine on mic, with that deep, monstrous voice, and rhymes that feel so established that it’s like they’ve been extracted from some ancient Nubian texts. While he may have the credentials to lecture us to death, is that what you really want to listen to?

Eh, I can forgive a little bit of angry-father from The Teacha to get a head full of those Marley beats… reminds me of that old Juice Crew stuff, with a darker, more ominous tone. It’s all good, though, and, thankfully, the skits are kept down to an absolute minimum, and are easily skipped on the CD.

It took a long time for the feud to be settled, but KRS and Marl have finally put out this album… years too late, several pounds too far, and at a time when them young kids in the club are going ‘KRS-Who?’… nonetheless, it’s an album that deserves praise for its sheer craftsmanship, like watching a old, gnarled carpenter making a beautiful chair out of maple.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Ok so this video has been up for over a year. SO?!?! I'm delayed.
