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’

‘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. Check out more of his work: http://brandonjamesscott.com/work/

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.
