Tron/Tron Legacy DVD and Bluray release
The movie Daft Punk were born to soundtrack, Tron Legacy is out on DVD Monday, available on its own, or bundled with the original 1982 release. Each stars Jeff Bridges, and while Legacy isn't exactly breaking the same technological boundaries of the original and its contemporaries, it is at least interesting as a representation of where we've ended up as a result.

Yuck - Get Away
A band in thrall to a previous generation  of American alt rock, tomorrow sees the release of the newie off their self titled debut album. Derivative they most certainly are, but at least they have (very,very) good taste.

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec
Best loved and revered for earlier films such as La Femme Nikita and Leon, French writer/director Luc Besson is never better than when pouring his creative energies into a powerful yet human (even in the case of 1997's The Fifth Element) central heroine. One hopes the same can be said of his latest offering, bringing to the big screen the adventures of an intrepid journalist come adventurer, in his adaptation of Jacque Tardi's cartoon strips and books.
