Next time Bangs offers to take you to the movies, maybe you could suggest that you check out one of the new films soundtracked by Moby, The Roots or Animal Collective.

Waste Land, a documentary about Brazilian artist Vik Muniz, who uses garbage taken from the world’s largest landfill in Rio de Janeiro to create his works features a soundtrack from another famed sample recycler Moby.

For something more dramatic you could try Night Catches Us, scored by The Roots. The film is set in race-torn Philadelphia in 1976 where “complex political and emotional forces are set in motion when a young man returns to the neighborhood where he came of age during the Black Power movement”.

Or if you and Bangs are after something a little more baffling there are vampires, campfires, and screaming prophets in ODDSAC from Animal Collective.

The band, who have topped many a ‘best of 2009’ list with Merriweather Post Pavilion, star in and provide the soundtrack to the film which promises “torch-wielding villagers”, “a wall bleeding oil” and “flicker effects that mimic pressure phosphenes, the magic colours produced by rubbing your closed eyes” instead of a traditional plot and dialogue. Er… sounds fun?

All three films are set to premiere at in Salt Lake City’s Sundance Film Festival in 2010.
