RED releases news on their long awaited next generation of cameras (again). This time around they’ve given some real photos to look at along with the renders, as well as detailed information on how to get a hold of one of these beauties.
I just got permission to say that Social Network, directed by David Fincher [and...

In the 1960s and 70s, William Kunstler fought for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr. and represented the famed “Chicago 8” activists who protested the Vietnam War. When the inmates took over Attica prison, or...

J.J. Abrams’ mystery box | Video on TED.com
Not new, but a fun listen.
J.J. Abrams covers why Jaws is magic, the allure of the ‘mystery box’, that it’s bad to hurt Tom Cruise on set, and a submissive relationship with his macbook that leads to writing things like ‘Lost’

I want to believe that these 30 seconds may lead to a cool period horror flick…we’ll see.

‘Cruel Fauna’ by Brandon James Scott
Love this guy’s style. Mixes very graphical and angular with ‘realistic’ depth of field for an interesting look.

The Wolfman
New Trailer for Johnston’s new flick. Still very excited about this movie but I’m not a fan of the soundtrack in this trailer. Period films with rock music always rub me the wrong way.
We’re the first generation of fanboys who are now in a position to make...

A interesting, if brief, look at two great cinematographers.
Mary and Max Feature
With the string of animated movies that have been released in the last couple years, it feels like maybe the medium is getting back to its earlier forms when it wasn’t marginalized as serving only for children’s films. (of course this is mainly in a ‘western’ and mainstream understanding. Anime and independant work has been directed at an older...
Hulu - Saturday Night Live: What Up With That
For some reason this is the best non-‘digital short’ SNL sketch I’ve seen in a long time.
That reason is Jason Sudeikis

Tom Waits is the devil…

The Missing Person
Interested to see a neo-Noir that doesnt assume the classification just because it has dramatic lighting.
Pirate Radio
Fairly certain I posted an earlier trailer from when this was still being billed as ‘The Boat That Rocked,’ but I can’t wait for this. Looks to be another instant hit with an ensemble cast helmed by ‘Love Actually’s Richard Curtis.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
Wow, this does not look like anything Herzog’s ever made but looks crazy. Also curious to see how Cage does. Adaptation and The Weather Man are still favourites and if anyones gonna pull something new out of his perfomance its Herzog.

Looks to be an interesting character study of a harrowing ‘job’ with a cast that rarely dissapoints.
