Death Cab for Cutie hit Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday night to perform a cover of TLC’s “Waterfalls,” a cut from their Georgia EP. The record is a collection of covers by artists from the titular state in celebration and support of the Democrats’ victory in the Georgia runoffs.
The band performed the 1994 song from their respective homes, turning the R&b jam into a more indie-fied track. Before you ask, Ben Gibbard does not attempt Left Eye’s legendary rap.

"Look - I know you hate me now, but do you think some day we could be okay...?" Break Out Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for an Irish indie coming-of-age comedy titled Metal Heart, which is the feature directorial debut of actor Hugh O'Conor. The film is about two twin sisters who couldn't be more unlike each other. There is much rivalry between Emma and Chantal, quite different in just about every way, but all that changes when their mysterious neighbor moves back in. Jordanne Jones stars as Emma, along with Leah McNamara as her sister Chantal, including Moe Dunford, Seán Doyle, Aaron Heffernan, Yasmine Akram, Ali Hardiman, Lucy Parker Byrne, and Sorcha Fahy. This looks quirky and fun and heartfelt. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Hugh O'Conor's Metal Heart, direct from YouTube (via Sa): There is much rivalry between twin sisters Emma (Jordanne Jones) and...

If you've been paying attention to the recent wave of Irish films you've most likely come across actor Hugh O'Conor at some point. He was the lead in hit comedy The Stag before playing a key support part opposite Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal in period adventure Pilgrimage, to name a pair of recent examples. But outside his acting work O'Conor is a very accomplished photographer and following some directing work in the music video and commercial world he's now applied those skills as he takes the helm with his directorial debut, Metal Heart. A relationship driven comedy revolving around a pair of twin sisters in their final summer before college, it's a beautifully acted and shot film that audiences this side of the world...

There was a lot going on on the last Saturday of the Glasgow Film Festival, which began with a screening of Irish charmer Metal Heart, the story of two very different sisters. Director Hugh O’Connor discussed it with the audience afterwards and explained that he had been determined from the outset to treat his characters respectfully and was never going to have a Breakfast Club ending where the goth character was made over to look like a popular girl. Russian drama Summer immersed itself in the revolutionary atmosphere of rock music in Leningrad in the 1980s, the première of Dirty God - attended by director Sacha Polak and star Vicky Knight – saw a young mother reclaiming her life after being scarred in an acid attack, and documentary Netizens took on the issue of the harassment of women online.

Two warring teenage twins mix like oil and water — and have the emotional battle scars to show for it — in director Hugh O’Conor’s “Metal Heart.” This coming-of-age film delivers plenty of sweet sentiments about sisterhood, kinship, and honesty to its target market, though the package that surrounds it isn’t as unique as one would hope.
Goth girl Emma (Jordanne Jones) and her bubbly blonde sister Chantal (Leah McNamara) are not identical in any way, shape, or form. Emma is withdrawn, forlorn, and pessimistic, whereas her fraternal twin is pretty, popular, and prissy. However, the two must find common ground when their parents abandon them for the summer. It’s the pair’s last hurrah before they go their separate ways: Emma’s bound for college, and Chantal plans to parlay her blog into a big business. This bonding opportunity would be ideal quality time together if the siblings actually got along,...
