The film's very clever tribute to gluttony. Topped off with a wafer thin mint.

A decent number of these deranged flicks sit on the shelf in my ridiculously large DVD collection. I wonder if I should be bothered by that.
The scary monster of your dreams and the fairy tale princess fight it out.
BTW, these Russian animators churn out a new video every few days.

Long have I been mesmerized by Tilda - she first came to my attention in Orlando, her androgynous features and elegant delivery making her a natural fit for the lead in the gender-bending classic by Virginia Woolf. Every role I've seen her in since, from Gabriel in Constantine to the White Witch in Narnia to the shrewish Katie Cox in Burn After Reading, she has dominated the screen with her standoffishly regal presence.
Orlando, the film that brought her to the mainstream American audience back in the early 90's, is being re-released to theaters today as a precursor to an updated DVD release next month. If you haven't seen this masterpiece, do. If you don't have it in your collection, pre-order it now.

Humble presents, Homunculus, the first of an annual series of experimental films by in-house directing collaborative, Hydra. Conceived of and directed by Sam Stephens, Homunculus is a dark and twisted fable of spontaneous generation and untrammeled id. Taking its title from the Latin word for "Little Human", the piece is an associative mashup between the two concepts behind the word: The first being middle-age alchemical beliefs that "little men" could be spontaneous generated from dead or decaying matter. The second being Carl Jung's usage as a personification of pure id. These ideas, combined with love of Dutch still life's "beautiful decay," sowed the seeds for this unique little monster of a film.
The Hydra team assembled an entire still-life spread; fruits, cheeses, flowers, fish, and an uncooked pheasant. They then sealed it off in a 6x6 foot plexiglass box. 3 DSLrs, set at varying angles, were set to shoot a frame every 5 minutes for 11 days. Meanwhile, co-director Chris Mauch began to design a series of "little men," some cute and cuddly, some not so much. In Maya, Chris and our team of volunteer animators and modelers began to build and rig the creatures. Over the course of 4 months, in between jobs and on weekends, Sam, Chris, and the team pieced together the sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing madcap narrative --a mixture of Tex Avery cartoons and H.R. Giger inspired body horror. True to its subject, and to the surprise of its producers, what was to be a small 30 second blip organically grew into an entire HD short film. With the completion of the 12-tone score by Koven Smith and the surround sound mix by Joe Muiccio, we're pleased to premiere our furry little labor of love. Please enjoy... hopefully on an empty-ish stomach.

From 1946, well before modern spesh FX were invented, here's a piano scene from the former Soviet Union.
From Orange Core Films (aka Paul Whittington) comes Android 207. Straight out of the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits genre, an android is trapped inside of a large maze with no idea how to find it's way out.

When Clash of the Titans' remake came out, I sat down and re-watched the original rather than validate this whole ugly trend towards remaking by giving it money. In doing this, I have re-awakened my love affair with Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation, and promptly followed it up with Jason and the Argonauts, and I have the 7th Voyage of Sinbad queued up and will be showing in my home theater sometime this week.

In this animated short, Oscar-winner John Weldon (Special Delivery) spins a tall tale about a young girl Dorothy and her myriad troubles: absentee parents, bad hair and a menagerie that devours her homework. But when her pet squid rampages through town and people finally realize that the homework-eating creatures aren't a figment of her imagination, Dorothy realizes that it's time to get the situation under control.

Bass, a street performer playing a routine tune on a deserted Italian village square one fine afternoon, waiting for a pedestrian to tip him in his rusty iron cup. Soon, he spots Tippy, a humble peasant girl clutching a big gold coin, with the intention of dropping it in the piazza fountain to make a wish. Bass, seizing the opportunity, immediately plays an impromptu track, capturing the young girl's attention. Just when Tippy is about to drop the coin into Bass's cup, a newcomer steps onto the scene.
This short film made its world premiere at the 29th Annecy Animation Festival in Annecy, France, and won the Platinum Grand Prize at the Future Film Festival in Bologna, Italy. It was shown with the theatrical release of Cars. The short was written and directed by Andrew Jimenez and Mark Andrews and produced by Osnat Shurer, head of Pixar's Shorts group. The score for the short was written by Michael Giacchino, who also composed the scores for Pixar's animated feature films The Incredibles, Ratatouille and Up. Like many Pixar shorts, the film is completely free of dialogue, instead using music (played by the characters) and pantomime to tell the story. On January 31, 2006 it was nominated for the Academy Award for Animated Short Film, but lost to The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation by John Canemaker and Peggy Stern.

Yup, saw it in 3D at the Imax and was totally blown away by the effects and presentation. SPOILER ALERT: The weak point of Avatar was the plot, which looked strangely familiar.
I guess it could be Ron. Or Harry. Whatever. Someone's gonna be nailing Hermione in the last Potter flick.
