Album Focus: Neon Neon – 'Stainless Style'
Encoded | 20 March 2008
This week we get shiny, bright and super non-stick with Neon Neon, whose debut album Stainless Style has just been released. Neon Neon is a collaborative project between Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys and electro pioneer Boom Bip, who first hooked up a couple of years ago when Gruff provided the vocal for Boom Bip's track 'Dos and Don'ts.' Now they've decided to do a whole album together and roped a load of their pals in to help, and the result is one of the most infectious, accessible and ultimately poppy albums that you'll hear this year.

3:10 to Yuma is a remake of the 1957 Glenn Ford classic, and stars Christian Bale as a simple farmer who takes the job of escorting notorious villain Russell Crowe to a railway station to await the train of the title. While Jesse James and Seraphim Falls were slow, dark, arty westerns, this film is cast in a more traditional mould. There's a clear-cut good guy and bad guy, a pretty wife who begs her man not to take the job, lots of grizzled men spitting in the dirt and a big climactic gun fight.

After a five-year break from directing, Matrix directors Andy and Larry Wachowski return to the big screen with their colourful interpretation of classic kids' cartoon Speed Racer. The neon colours and cartoon-inspired visuals definitely won't be to all tastes, but the film looks set to deliver hugely ambitious use of green screen and CGI racing scenes in order to tell the tale of one boy and his car.
CNET TV: LIVE | 25 January 2008
Former Test Icicle Devonte Hynes, now going under the name of Lightspeed Champion, dropped by CNET TV headquarters this week and treated us to four tracks from his new album, Falling Off the Lavender Bridge. Radically different to the sound of his earlier band, Lightspeed's sound is a wonderful mix of indie rock and country folk influences that should keep fans of Bright Eyes, Will Oldham and Bill Callahan happy until the cows come home.

This week sees Tarantino's Death Proof arrive on DVD, giving us all a chance to see how it fairs on the small screen. Kurt Russell plays the murderous Stuntman Mike, who preys on innocent young women with his souped up, specially adapted Chevy Nova. There's plenty of hip, pop culture-savvy dialogue, shocking moments of blackly funny violence and a groovy collection of 70s tunes on the soundtrack, but is that really enough to class Death Proof as a great film?

Devil May Cry 4 is the fourth installment in Capcom's demon-hunting series, but this time it stars a new character, Nero, and his powerful demonic arm. The game looks set to deliver more of the same over-the-top action fans of the series expect when it's released in February this year.
CES: Alienware's bad boy ALX PC and curved display
Crave TV | 09 January 2008
Alienware wowed CNET.co.uk at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with not one, but two incredible pieces of technology. First up was its 42-inch Curved Display, which redefines the term widescreen. It's curved like an enormous pair of wrap-around shades -- the idea being that it provides a more immersive gaming experience. And last but not least was the Alienware ALX -- which drew a pretty big crowd because of the sheer outlandishness of its specification and the awesome styling of its new P2 chassis. Take a look for yourself...
