Shock reviews shock rocker Ace Frehley’s new album. After releasing one of the best albums of his career, Space Invader, Ace Frehley headed back into the studio to record an album of covers as a follow-up. This is probably not what a lot of fans might expect. Frehley, now light years beyond his days in…

There's going to be a lot of crazy images on screen in Chris Columbus' Pixels, and I'm not talking about the sight of Kevin James as the U.S. President. The movies sees Adam Sandler, Peter Dinklage, and Josh Gad as a trio of washed up former video game champions who are the Earth's only line of defense when alien misinterpret classic arcade games as a declaration of war, and attack in kind. The first posters for the movie have come online (courtesy of Hey U Guys and Yahoo! Movie), showing us just what we're in for, giving us the awesome sight of Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and a Space Invader attacking major cities. Check them out below. Released: 24th July 2015 (U.S.)/ 14th August 2015 (Irl/U.K.)...

Ace Frehley landed in Dallas, TX at Trees for his “Space Invader” tour on Monday, December 1st, 2014. The Spaceman demonstrated to a packed house why he deserved his induction into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year. He might not wear his signature makeup anymore, but he’s still the same talented and quirky lead guitarist he was in the late 1970s playing to sold-out arenas in Kiss. He’s just older and wiser than he was in those hazy days filled with drugs and booze.
That’s one of the first things Frehley loves to share with his audience. He’s been clean and sober now for eight years. He still plays hit songs like “Cold Gin” and “Snowblind,” but uses them to gently reflect on the bad choices of his youth. He pairs them with newer songs focusing on turning his life around (“Change”) and...

Legendary Kiss Spaceman Ace Frehley lands in Dallas, TX on December 1st. The Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame Inductee will be taking the stage at Trees for what will surely be an electrifying experience. His performance includes Kiss classics, solo material from a four decades long career, and songs from his latest album Space Invader.
Anyone who’s heard Space Invader knows Ace still has what it takes to rock an arena. The critically-acclaimed album has been praised for its pure unadulterated rock power and reflection of the guitarist’s former years with Kiss. It shows Frehley continuing to grow in his craft and truly is an extension of his years with the glam rock kings.
Although Ace is definitely the center of attention, his touring band is nothing to balk at either. Guitarist Richie Scarlet is well-known for sharing the stage with Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach, Alice Cooper,...

The nerd stereotype of gamers never getting laid is still alive and well, and we don’t think the current crop of titles is helping matters much. Sure, in the past decade or so video games and the people who play them have “grown up” – by which we mean adults play them, or else parents don’t bother paying attention to the age ratings on stuff they buy their kids – but that doesn’t mean that they are particularly grown up. Besides the gratuitous violence that’s been part and parcel of the whole form ever since that first Space Invader got exploded, the desire to shove more “mature” themes into games has been increasing as the average age of gamers and the quality of the technology used to produce their particular vice have both increased.
Basically, we’re saying that there’s a lot more shagging...

Many will find it up for dispute, but I believe a review of legendary rock musician Ace Frehley’s newest album Space Invader fits in perfectly here. The former Kiss guitarist made a name for himself onstage as he stalked around in his interstellar costume while his instrument smoked and he fired off rockets into the sky as strobe lights flashed and flames jumped around him. His Spaceman persona grew to even more epic proportions in a sci-fi fantasy movie, video games, and through the pages of Marvel Comics and other publications. The larger-than-life cosmic super hero delivered humanity from the clutches of evil just like the Avengers, Justice League, or Fantastic Four.
You can take the makeup off his face, but you can’t remove the spirit of the Spaceman from Ace Frehley’s heart. The former Kiss lead guitarist is back and better than ever with the impeccably titled Space Invader.

As Tom Hanks heads to the box office with his latest flick, a rodent-bodied spoof pops up on the streets of NYC--and on popular photo app Instagram. Is this a marketing stunt or just an odd cultural collision?
Tom Hanks is gnawing his way to the box office this weekend--his dramedy Larry Crowne opens today--but the star's sleepless smirk has also been spotted perched atop a stenciled rat that looks a lot like the work of the infamous street artist Banksy. When the image was posted to the photo-sharing app Instagram in mid-April, some began to wonder if Hanks had pulled-off an impromptu collaboration with the roving Robin Hood of the graffitti world.
After all, Hanks is already bosom buddies with a bizarre cultural zeitgest (few Oscar winners can also claim their own trashbin meme). And he's been thinking outside the box office for Larry Crowne by opting out of...

No film has ever generated the type of controversy enjoyed by Exit Through the Gift Shop; the film’s notoriety is literally unique. While many documentary films have been controversial due to their content, their approach or their claims to validity, Banksy’s street-art documentary is the first film to have people saying ‘If it’s real, it’s brilliant. If it’s fake, it’s even better’.
A quick explanation of the controversy: Exit Through the Gift Shop is, ostensibly, a documentary about an amateur film maker named Thierry Guetta who, through an unbelievable series of coincidences and luck, becomes the unofficial video-scribe of the emerging street art movement. The film is narrated in part by Bansky, the world’s most famous street-artist, who has never publically revealed himself and appears with his face covered by a hoodie and his voice disguised.

Best Documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop" It's hard to know whether street artist Banksy's feature documentary is what it claims to be—a doc about an obsessive man who falls in love with the world of street art (where artists place their work in public, risking arrest for vandalism), fashioning himself as the most financially successful street artist in history—or is Banksy's best prank to date. The film follows the life of buffoonish French expatriate Thierry Guetta, a happy-go-lucky proprietor of an overpriced hipster-wear store in West Hollywood with the curious habit of videotaping everything that happens to him. Guetta persuades his cousin, a street artist known as Space Invader, to become the subject of a "documentary," which leads Guetta to other street artists like Obama icon-maker Shepard Fairey and ultimately to the white whale of street artists: the ultra-secretive Banksy (interviewed in silhouette, of course...

We’ve been avid followers of street art ever since moving to Los Angeles. The city is rich with renegade imagery plastered on the walls of abandoned buildings and street signs. We’ve spent many an hour stuck in traffic admiring Shepard Fairey’s “Obey” campaign and David Browne’s ever-present berds on telephone wires.
If you haven’t seen our favorite documentary of the year, Exit Through the Gift Shop, you’ve got to check it out. The story of a filmmaker turned wanna-be artist highlights the works of Parisian artist Space Invader and the illusive Banksy, who directed the flick. It will make you look at your city with brand new, wide-open eyes.

I'll get to our spotlighted film of the week, but this is one of those weekends you should definitely make a trip over to Blockbuster Netflix.com and pick up a film. Today, 'Iron Man 2', 'Get Him to the Greek', 'Babies', 'The Killer Inside Me' (Casey Affleck), and 'Frozen' (Adam Green) are released. Obviously, if you haven't seen 'Iron Man 2' because you had a Nasa space mission to mars, go rent it. 'Get Him to the Greek' was okay. Probably would give it "3 Abiding Dudes".
However, the one film you should rent this week is 'Exit Through The Gift Shop'. This hilarious documentary is filmed by an amateur film maker, Thierry "Terry" Guetta who tracked down a cousin of his, "Space Invader" where he gave Guetta an inside look at the underground world of graffiti street art.

Exit Through the Gift Shop Directed by: Banksy Exit Through the Gift Shop, directed by UK graffiti and urban installation artist Banksy, isn’t a documentary I had much inherent interest in — maybe because I burned out on the street art scene at the tender age of nine. It was a sepia-toned 1996 when, unsupervised, a neighbor’s son and I spray-painted our names on the face of the barn behind his family’s house. Upon discovery hours later, we were severely reprimanded, yet our sloppy signatures remained up for years afterward. My concept of the street art movement, and certainly my participation in it, never blossomed beyond that hasty experiment. Over the subsequent decade and a half, I’ve often admired the work of anonymous graffiti artists from afar, but I hadn’t given the culture or cultivation of the form a second thought. And it turns out that’s...

Director: Banksy Narrator: Rhys Ifans Allow me to begin by synopsizing Exit Through the Gift Shop as if it truly is the street art documentary that it purports to be. In doing so, I pledge to divulge plenty of information that some readers may consider to be “spoilers,” so please tread forward with caution, apprehension and care… When we first meet Thierry Guetta, he is self-proclaimed video recording addict. His camcorder is constantly turned on as he shamelessly documents everything. The addiction to videography becomes so great that this strange and eccentric Frenchman (whom Banksy describes as looking like he's “out of the 1860s”) eventually all but abandons his life as a husband, father and high-end thrift shop owner to fully immerse himself in the burgeoning street art scene. Thierry is introduced to everyone who is anyone in the world of street art by way of his cousin – the infamous Space Invader.

“I’m not sure what I’m here to see, but I’m excited about it.” — an art aficionado outside a crowded “Mr. Brainwash” exhibit.
Such is the documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, an indescribable blend of wild narrative and rare footage chronicling the fascinating rise of street art’s back-alley origins to its upscale gallery openings. With fresh insight into the continuing “what is art?” conversation and a debate over whether graffiti is vandalism or a valid form of expression, the film exists in the spray-can gray area of art itself. Rumors of the story as an elaborate hoax only muddy the canvas further.
The film is edited by Banksy, a notorious street artist whose elusive persona and mysterious stencils only add to the intrigue. With his face shadowed under a hooded sweatshirt and his voice warped by computer, Banksy interjects quips in a heavy British accent about the true subject,...

Graffiti is not the lowest form of art. Despite having to creep about at night and lie to your mum it's actually the most honest artform available. There is no elitism or hype, it exhibits on some of the best walls a town has to offer, and nobody is put off by the price of admission. -- Banksy
Street art is a curious thing. It's art where there's not "supposed" to be art. Generally illegal, often subversive, and usually temporary, street art is capable of offering the type of quick glimpse at an honest moment in time that typical gallery/museum art often eschews and/or is incapable of. To be sure, there's graffiti that amounts to nothing more than ugly vandalism, gang tagging, stupid teenagers with too much time on their hands, etc. But there's also graffiti (and stencils, stickers, etc.) which rises above thoughtless self-indulgence, intending to make an activist statement,...

Exit Through the Gift Shop is a marvelous, one-of-a-kind contraption, a joyfully spinning top of a movie that keeps zigging and zagging and taking the audience right along with it. It's easily the cream of this month's crop of movies, though it's so tricky and layered that before I saw it, everything I'd heard about it made it sound a little…complicated. Maybe even intimidating. Not to worry: For all its through-the-looking-glass playfulness, it is really, at heart, a vividly direct and witty and biting look at the world of contemporary street art. A lot of the kick of the...

The extended trailer for the new Banksy documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop has been posted today by Wooster Collective and as we expected, it doesn't reveal much more about the reclusive Banksy himself (who appears pixelated as above, his voice altered). But we do learn more about the bizarre twist of the documentary's plot.

Thierry Guetta, a French filmmaker also known by his street artist name, Mr. Brainwash (he had his own splashy art show in L.A. named Life is Beautiful two years ago) started making a documentary about street art in the 1990s. He shot footage of Space Invader, who puts those pixelated Atari-esque mosaics all over the world. He went on wheatpasting outings with Shepard Fairey to paper cities in Obey Giant posters. And finally Guetta gained access to the great Banksy--who of course doesn't really want to be featured in a documentary. So Banksy...

It is probably best to state up front for any fans of Banksy that the main subject of Exit Through The Gift Shop is not really Banksy. Although he appears on screen his face and voice are both masked and he is definitely not the true star of the film. The central character is a man named Thierry Guetta (Aka Mr. Brainwash) and it is clear from the outset, although not explicitly mentioned until quite far into the film, that Thierry is a little unhinged.
Not in any dangerous way but he is clearly obsessive and compulsive by nature and takes ideas he has to extreme ends. He has made a pretty good living with a clothes shop in La where he buys up a lot of ‘vintage’ clothes cheaply and resells them for exorbitant prices to hipsters, including the briefly glimpsed Beck. With shots of Thierry’s warehouses it...

[Our thanks to Ryland Aldrich for the following review.]
This year's Sundance Spotlight Surprise slot was filled by the documentary Exit Through The Gift Shop, directed by the enigmatic artist Banksy. The film is a documentation of the rise and subsequent commercialization of the street art movement, told via the narrative lens of one of the movement's most bizarre and commercially successful members, Thierry Guetta aka Mr. Brainwash. The film is wildly successful at both capturing an art form that's practice has been mostly hidden behind the cover of darkness, and at telling that interesting story of a truly kooky character. But the real success of the film is the questions it raises about the formation of the artist, the commerce of art, and the authenticity of documentary film.
The movie opens with a shrouded and vocally distorted Banksy explaining that while this movie was started as a documentary about him, he found the original filmmaker far more interesting.

While our Sundance home page is the place for all our coverage from Park City, here is a brief rundown of what's been going on during the last 24 hours, including Matt Singer's interview with "The Freebie" writer/director Katie Aselton and co-star Dax Shepard and reviews of the Chace Crawford drama "Twelve," the Banksy doc "Exit Through the Gift Shop," Philip Seymour Hoffman's directorial debut "Jack Goes Boating" and the 3D Aussie doc "Cane Toads 2: The Conquest."
Some were puzzled when Sundance accepted "Batman and Robin" director Joel Schumacher's latest film "Twelve." James Rocchi writes that the concern was justified. Here's an excerpt from his review, which can be found in full here:
Directed by Joel Schumacher ("Batman and Robin," "The Lost Boys"), "Twelve" is unquestionably the funniest film at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival; if only it had been made with that intention. "Twelve"'s ham-handed ineptitude...
