Looks interesting.

The Age of Stupid: final trailer, Feb 2009 HD from Age of Stupid on Vimeo.

The Age of Stupid is a 90-minute film about climate change, set in the future, which will have its world premiere in London on March 15th 2009 and then be released in UK cinemas on March 20th 2009, followed by other countries.

Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite (In The Name of the Father, Brassed Off) stars as a man living alone in the devasted world of 2055, looking back at “archive” footage from 2007 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?

The question this time is “where would you want to wake up tomorrow.” It’s simple, beautiful, and expansive.

I just love these videos. Brilliant. Beautiful. Simple. They are filled with frivolity and humor as well as thoughtfulness and seriousness.

They remind me so much of how we communicate with people all around us everyday on such a superficial level, which can be captured by the common greeting, “how are you doing” or “how’s it going.” These videos deal with that connection directly, and even take it a little further by starting to touch on part of the human condition: desire and self actualization.

Beyond the content of the work, both the music scores and the video/editing work create a mood and emotion that suits the content quite well. Its definitely worth your time to watch these videos, and I highly recommend it. They’ve given me a few ideas for a new project of my own.

So, what’s the question? “What do/would you wish to happen by the end of the day”

I was watching An Evening with Kevin Smith 2 to test it out and was laughing out loud throughout the entire 2 hours.

WARNING: some of the images in this video may be disorienting. These images were shot by a two year old. This film is a representation of what its like to experience the world as a two year old.

There is an interesting moment in the movie when Kelly is holding the camera and there is a distinct difference in both aesthetic and perspective.

I hope this is the first of many film collaborations with Cooper.

The considerable pleasures of In Bruges begin with its title, which suggests a glumly self-important art film but actually fits a rattling-good tale of two Irish gangsters “keepin’ a low profile” after a murder gone messily wrong. Bruges, the best-preserved medieval town in Belgium, is where the bearlike veteran Ken (Brendan Gleeson) and newbie triggerman Ray (Colin Farrell) have been ordered by their London boss to hole up for two weeks. As the sly narrative unfolds like a paper flower in water, “in Bruges” also becomes a state of mind, a suspended moment amid centuries-old towers and bridges and canals when even thuggish lives might experience a change in direction. And throughout, the viewer has ample opportunity to consider whose pronunciation of “Bruges” is more endearing, Gleeson’s or Farrell’s. The movie marks the feature writing-directing debut of playwright Martin McDonagh, whose droll meditation on sudden mortality, Six Shooter, copped the 2005 Oscar for best live-action short. Although McDonagh clearly relishes the musicality of his boyos’ brogue and has written them plenty of entertaining dialogue, In Bruges is no stageplay disguised as a film. The script is deceptively casual, allowing for digressions on the newly united and briskly thriving Europe, and annexing passers-by as characters who have a way of circling back into the story with unanticipatable consequences. That includes a film crew–shooting a movie featuring, to Ray’s fascination, “a midget” (Jordan Prentice)–and a fetching blond production assistant (Clémence Poésy) whose job description keeps evolving. There’s one other key figure: Harry, the Cockney gang boss whose omnipotence remains unquestioned as long as he remains offscreen, back in England, as if floating in an early Harold Pinter play. Harry has reasons inextricably tender and perverse for selecting Bruges as his hirelings’ destination, and eventually he emerges from the aether to express them–first as a garrulous telephone voice and then in the volatile form of Ralph Fiennes. By that point the charmed moment of suspension, already shaken by several irruptions of violence, is pretty well doomed. But In Bruges continues to surprise and satisfy right up to the end. –Richard T. Jameson

Awash in blood and black humor, director Christopher Smith’s inventive horror flick follows a sales group — employed by an international weapons company — as they head for a team-building retreat at a remote lodge in Hungary. Before you can say “mayhem,” a band of vengeful, psychotic commandos turns the tables and puts the merchants on the wrong end of their wares. Toby Stephens, Laura Harris and Danny Dyer star.

I’m not really well acquainted with the genre of horror or slasher films, but this isn’t a straight horror movie or slasher film. Its more of a comedy-horror movie. An intelligent black comedy based on the slasher genre. The characters display depth and growth over the course of the movie, well at least before they die. Don’t get me wrong, the intellectualness doesn’t take away from the horror. There was still enough suspense to get me to turn an extra light on as I was walking to the bathroom in the middle of the movie.

There are also several substantial extras that go behind the scenes with the director and actors. I enjoyed the movie, but I enjoyed it even more after being able to get inside the head of the director and see how the movie evolved over time from its initial conception.
