Umelec Magazine

Umelec Magazine

Umelec Magazine since 1997 is the only art magazine devoted to current visual culture in the Czech Republic. It is directed to the international scene, particularly the wider European circle. Its emphasis on art in Central and Eastern Europe stems from its unique position in that region. It's published in English, Czech, Spanish, German, French, Russian and also Chinese. Personally I never heard of it till I got my hands at two issues from 2009 2 weeks ago. I really like this Magazine, especially because I don't know that much of the Czech art scene.

Massive Attack is back! After the more or less solo-released Album 100th Window in 2003, Daddy G is back on board. Daddy G, who last been involved in Mezzanine, seems happy to be back. In an Interview in Lodown Magazine he said " It's really good to be back, it's just good to start being creative again." To be honest I didn't really care for 100th Window, so I'm happy that Daddy G is involved again and I'm excited about the new Album. In the just mentioned Interview Daddy G also said something I can only agree with: "Our thing is with Massive Attack music, it's a case of sometimes you have to listen to our records three or four times before you can actually get the gist of what we are talking about, whether it is the lyrical side or whether it is the musical side." What do you think?

Russell Crowe as Robin Hood

So apparently there is a new Robin Hood movie comin out with Russell Crowe aka the Gladiator in the role of Robin Hood and Cate Blanchett in the role of Lady Marian. To be honest I really don't see the point in doing another Robin Hood movie. I think the one from 1991 with Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Christian Slater and Alan Rickman is and will always be the best. Don't you think? And I mean the Soundtrack as well. How you wanna top Bryan Adams' Everything I do, I do it for you. Don't understand me wrong, I think Cate Blanchett is a terrific actress, but some movies just shouldn't be done over and over again.
