Many of you will know Relentless for their energy drink, but did you also know they have a huge involvement in film making and the music community? Their latest feature-length documentary, Lives Of The Artists: Follow Me Down follows freeride snowboard legends Xavier de la Rue and Jeremy Jones trip to…the South Pole.

Automatically this is going to conjure up some amazing images, with some great cinematography bound to happen. Pair this with an indepth examination of UNKLE, following their tour of Moscow, London and Tokyo, and this sounds like something really interesting.

The soundtrack is one of the highlights of the film too, having been composed by UNKLE themselves, bouncing off the Relentless Energy’s ‘No Half Measures’ slogan, portraying the epic journeys they both have.

Here’s the trailer to wet your appetite. It will also be available to watch online @ relentlessenergy.com shortly after the screening.

The first track from the exclusive UNKLE-composed soundtrack, Set No Sun (featuring ELLE J and Joel Cadbury), is also now available to download free for a limited time from relentlessenergy.com

I’ll be attending the premier on tuesday, with a review to follow.

In what has been a great year for Sandra Bullock; a Golden Globe, A SAG, & a Bafta nomination, yesterdays Oscars shortlist has been the icing on the cake for Bullock. The Best Actress race is truly on and Bullock has been nominated for “The Blind Side” one of the years most inspirational true-life stories and released nationally in the UK on the 12th March 2010.

The movie is about teenager Michael Oher and his early life which was one of the subjects of Michael Lewis’s 2006 book, The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game. You can read a portion of the book to which the movie is based “The Ballad of Big Mike“. The film and was directed by John Lee Hancock. It was released in the United States in November 2009.

Anyone who knows American Football (well OK we’re British so we might not know as much as we ought to) “the blind side” is the quarterback’s vulnerable spot when he’s scouring the field for a pass. Moviegoers attuned to the metaphorical nature of film titles can guess, however, that the phrase applies to more than just grid-irony in John Lee Hancock’s based-on-a-true-story parable.

Society’s blind side, you see, is where impoverished, hulking African-American athlete “Big Mike” Oher (Aaron) lived until plucky Southern mother Leigh Anne Touhy (Bullock) took him in. (Tough-talking mamas from Tennessee: What can’t they fix?)  “You’ve changed his life,” one character tells Leigh Anne. “No,” she says, “He’s changed mine.”

Dir. John Lee Hancock. 12th March, 2010. 125mins. Sandra Bullock, Quinton Aaron, Tim McGraw & Kathy Bates.

I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS is the improbable but true story of a spectacular charismatic conman’s journey from small-town businessman to flamboyant white-collar criminal, who repeatedly finds himself in trouble with the law and on the lam, brilliantly escaping from the Texas prison system on four separate occasions – all in the name of love.

Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) leads a seemingly average life – an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie (Leslie Mann), and a member of the local police force. That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he’s gay and he’s going to live life to the fullest – even if he has to break the law to do it. Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft spoken man named Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another.

Told with an uncanny sense of humour and a lot of heart, “I Love You Phillip Morris” is an oddball tale of what can happen when the legal system, a daredevil spirit and undying love collide.

I Love You Phillip Morris is released around the UK March 19th 2010

Before you watch this you have to be warned you are going to have to wait till March 2010 to get to see the whole things. Already making the rounds on the internet Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, which is a mix of both the two books, is set to be a pre-summer smash.

As always the visuals mixed with the music is set to make this one of the highlights of the 2010 movie season and we can’t wait to see the finished film.
