Not quite sure what to make of the new remake of the classic 80s sci fi series, 'V'. It's overtly stylised, bigger and badder. Looks slick as hell and the slight populist approach with it's underlying critique on Obamania notwithstanding, there are some cool moments to be had. Well, Mitchell, who plays FBI agent/worried mother, Erica, basically does her whole blonde running around thing last seen in 'Lost'. The real highlight has to be Brazilian actress, Morena Baccarin's Queen mother, Anna. Arguably the hottest alien ever. She could mind control us anytime. All it's flash and shine aside, it lacks that old school feel that made the original so endearing. Plus Marc Singer kicked ass. And we love the retro V / Luger type laser pistols.
Another duo capable of giving it the snazzy make overs are Toronto based electro-booty producers, Torro Torro, who are fast rising on the scene with their up front remixes and killer parties. Having remixed Crookers and Esser earlier this year, these guys have just put their Midas touch to hip hop vixen, Jully Black's new single, 'Running' out later this month. Expect some big room effects and loadsa booty shakin'.
