George Harrison Tribute -Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne & Prince

I have just discovered this awesome Youtube courtesy of a fab post on Damien Mulley and I just had to share it. Apologies Damien! For as long as I can remember I have thought Prince was akin to the bee’s knees, so sadly, when it comes to Prince, I have no objectivity whatsoever! That said I can honestly say that this is music at its finest, with performances by Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood on drums and Paul Mc Cartney. The only word is “WOW”!

Trailer… Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

The eagerly awaited new Indiana Jones film is set to be a major box-office hit… and if the trailer (as shown on Yahoo! Movies) is anything to go by, “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” looks like another swashbuckling adventure. Directed by Steven Spielberg and featuring a great cast including Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf and Karen Allen (Marion Ravenwood), the story is set in 1957, where Indiana Jones ventures into the jungles of South America in a race against Soviet agents to find the mystical Crystal Skull.

Among the other exotic motors is the 100% electric sports car as seen in the recent screen-grab from the Iron Man Super Bowl ad. I think green car lovers everywhere will be aching to see what a 100% electric supercar can do!

Highlander: The Source

Celebrating 20 years of the Legend, Adrian Paul is back as the immortal Scottish swordsman, Duncan MacLeod in an all new Highlander: The Source. Following on from the success of the first movie, the Highlander sequels produced a number of flops but the TV spin-off series saw the saga getting back on track. The first of a trilogy, this new movie is unlike any Highlander yet produced, with a great cast including many favourites from the TV show and a decent plot. The Source tells the story of Immortals as they quest to locate the Holy Grail of their world. The entire series of films will chronicle the origins of the Immortals. Director Brett Leonard (Lawnmower Man & Virtuosity) commented “This is a tremendous opportunity for a storyteller of this genre to take part in the mythology of 20 years.” He continues that “HIGHLANDER is an amazing ongoing story that I can bring my visual style to… Everything I have done has led me to this kind of mythical fantasy.”
