This Week in Movies – 11/17/08

Monday, November 17, 2008

In Theaters:

  • Bolt – A famous cartoon super dog thinks his powers are real. I can’t believe this movie is real. What do I care, take your kids.
  • Twilight – Pretty tween Vampires that believe in abstinence, a tale only a sheltered Mormon housewife could write.

On Video:

  • Wall-E – Pixar’s latest about a lonely robot. How can you resist those cute little robot eyes?
  • Tropic Thunder – Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. (in black face) make a ridiculous movie about making a ridiculous action movie that suddenly turns real. Sign me up.
  • The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 – Yup, they made a sequel … Whether I like it or not, this one’s probably going to end up in my queue. Maybe someday we’ll be able to afford 2 movies at a time and I can have my own queue.

Favorite Video Friday – The 80s

Friday, November 14, 2008

This Week: A decade that will not die, no matter how much you try to kill it.

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour – Around the Bend

This tune will sound familiar to anyone that’s watched American television or visited Apple’s website in the past month.

Sonny J – Can’t Stop Moving

Electric Company anyone? Ok, so technically that show started in the 70s, but I watched it in the 80s, so back off!

Miami Horror – Don’t Be On With Her

If I had to pick one video to describe the 80s, this would be it.

This Week in Movies – 10/10/08

Monday, November 10, 2008

Not much in the way of movies this week. I suggest watching Dexter on Netflix’s Watch it Now.

In Theaters:

  • Quantum of Solace – This is either the latest Bond flick or a new album by your favorite group of angsty teenagers.

On Video:

  • Hellboy II: The Golden Army – Ron Perlman paints himself red and saws off his horns for another movie. It’s in my queue, but I’m an incredible geek.
  • Star Wars: The Clone Wars – George Lucas continues to milk his cash cow. Or is he beating it? I can’t really tell anymore.
  • Beer for my Horses – Watching this movie has been proven to cause birth defects, the dead to rise from their graves, and the Apocalypse.

Favorite Video Friday – More Camera Tricks

Saturday, November 8, 2008

Apologies once again, I was in San Diego on a gig.

And again, apologies, I had this done yesterday and I don’t know if I didn’t click “publish” or what, but only realized today (Saturday) that it hadn’t posted.

This week: More Crazy-Cool Camera Tricks

The BPA – Seattle (Feat. Emma the Great)

It’s like a rubix cube… sort of… or that thing they did in the opening ceremonies… I don’t know, leave me alone.

The Ting Tings – Be the One

This concept never gets old to me. The way I’m living my life, I wouldn’t be surprised if some day I looked back to see a video wall stalking me.

Cut Chemist – My First Big Break

Filmed with a 360 degree camera. I can’t even begin to imagine how that works.

Favorite Video Friday – The Mini-Movie Music Video

Friday, October 24, 2008

This week: Mini-Movies

MC 900FT Jesus – If I Only Had a Brain (language warning)

Another classic from the great Spike Jonze.

U.N.K.L.E. feat. Thom Yorke – Rabbit in Your Headlights

This one’s more of a short film than a music video. Brutal.

Muse – Knights of Cydonia

Man I love Westerns, especially Space Westerns.
