Roadside Romeo - Trailer
Olympics 2008 Monkey Movie - BBC Sport
A neat animated short I found browsing on YouTube :)
Info:
The Olympics 08.08.08 http://www.bbc.co.uk/monkeyolympics
BBC Sport's marketing campaign and titles for the forthcoming Olympic Games are based upon the traditional Chinese folklore 'Journey to the West'. The animation and music were specially produced by Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn.
So that's why it's so Gorillaz Style!! Hey, and they also released a Chinese remix album, so I guess they were really on the roll! ^__^

Outlander (2009) HD Trailer 2
"During the reign of the Vikings, Kainan (Jim Caviezel), a man from a far-off world, crash lands on Earth, bringing with him an alien predator known as the Moorwen. Though both man and monster are seeking revenge for violence committed against them, Kainan leads the alliance to kill the Moorwen by fusing his advanced technology with the Viking's Iron Age weaponry."
Seems like I could kill some time with this flick when it's out.
Ink Heart - Trailer
After "The Golden Compass" and "The Spiderwick Chronicles" failed to entertain, let alone impress me, I'm afraid that yet another book adaptation with a fancy trailer may turn out to be a disappointment... Brendan Fraser just makes this feeling stronger.
Call me naive, but I still have some hopes that this movie will be good!
Azur and Asmar - Trailer
Задава се ново френсо анимационно филмче от режисьора на Кирику! :)
"Here there be tygers"
Russian sci-fi animations. Based on Ray Bradbury's short story "Here there be tygers"
Сражение
Beautiful Solviet animated short based on Stephen King's story.
Gods of the Green Planet - Pilot (2009)
The Russian animation school has always been one of the best. In recent years they've done some really neat features, but they sticked to good old handdrwan 2D most of the time (with some CGI elements). But this one is 3D and looks great if you ask me.

Кинокласика
И на мене се падна да направя шапка на въпросната рубрика. Използвах снимки на стари пловдивски кина, които взех от един огромен албум с твърди корици, който шефа ми даде :) Останах (сравнително) доволен от това, което се получи (а с добавен ефект на стара филмова лента изглеждат още по-добре) и реших да си го пусна тук във всичките му 4 версии с различна музика.
Първите 3 версии са озвучени с Енио Мориконе:
А тази е с музиката на Морис Жар от "Доктор Живаго"
Скоро ще пусна и малкото клипче, което приготвих специално за Чарли Чаплин :)

It always seems impossible until it's done
Sunday afternoon. It seems impossible for me to write an essay on such a topic right now, and yet at the end, after some 215 more words it will be done.
Writing an essay is a process. First of all you should have at least a vague idea what you are going to write about, then plan what arguments and examples you are going to use, and then using your more or less (un)limited vocabulary and grammar skills you compose a text which hopefully will be good enough to please the teacher who has asked you to do the whole thing, putting you through so much misery.
If you go back to the beginning of this 5-line sentence (I’m referring to the second sentence from the second paragraph) you’ll remember that first of all you need at least a vague idea. Since I have no idea at all (let alone a vague one) even after I spent a considerable amount of time on trying to suck some idea out of my fingers, writing this essay seems quite impossible. But for the sake of having homework here I am, pouring down my stream of consciousness, which will no doubt give many readers a hemorrhage (I checked this one in the dictionary) in the brain, nausea or at least a horrible headache which will last for approximately tree weeks.
But fear not, the essay is almost over, for I have clicked “Word Count” from the Tools Menu and fortunately it seems that my task is almost completed. The word count is increasing more and more as I type!! Fascinating, isn’t it?
So here it is - what seemed to be impossible is now done! My essay is complete!

Top 3 video games I want to see on a big screen
OK, so I did top 3 about comic books, now it's time for the video games. The rules - the games shouldn't have any adaptation on screen - no cartoons, no movies, no nothing. And the games should not be based on comics or something else, cause otherwise they should be in the other Top 3 (like "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs"). And I have to tell you that I can't really rate teh games and these number 1,2 and 3 are JUST numbers, I can't say which one I like better and which is the best for me...
3. Syberia
Benoit Sokal's "Syberia" is an interactive movie by itself, with complex characters, a lovely visual style and soundtrack that adds a great deal to the unique atmosphere of the game.
2. Full Throttle
Back in the good old days Lucas Arts did some really amazing not-Star-Wars-related stuff, most of them adventure games based on the SCUMM engine. And they surely have plenty of stuff I wanna see like animated movies or motion pictures, they've got Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle, Zak McKracken, Monkey Island... But they are more cartoonish and I think that they'll be appreciated mostly by the fans. And "Full Throttle" is something that really ROCKS, literally! The beautiful animation, biker gangs in a postapocalyptic future, born-to-be-wild storyline about freedom, brotherhood, honor and justice and the superb heavy sound of The Gone Jackals who did the songs for the game...
Some time ago I even downloaded a Full Throttle movie, edited from the cut scenes of the game and some gameplay footage! You can still get it from here I think - http://www.gamershell.com/news_27175.html
1. DUKE NUKEM
Alien bastards come to Earth, steal our chicks and do some more nasty things, and the most kick-ass game character ever is the one to make them sorry for messing with our planet and quote some B-movie one-liners! A huge variety of huge guns, plenty of ugly mutants, monsters, aliens and plenty of other things to shoot at, blow up, kick, blast, destroy, anihilate, shrink and step on, half-naked chicks, naked chicks... This game is just BITCHIN' GREAT!!
And after "Duke Nukem: The Movie" it will be "Serious Sam: The Movie", starring The Rock as Sam "Serious" Stone, and then we'll do a crossover and we'll have "Duke Nukem & Serious Sam" with cameo appearance the guy from "Doom", Freeman from "Half Life", Lara Croft and the guy from Castle Wolfenstein... Hell yeah!
Quotes #23
The Aquabats! - Awsome Forces
So today it is Awesome Forces! mashed up with some footage from the Edd Wood's "Plan 9 from Outer Space" (and this movie ain't THAT bad, no matter what they say!)
Well have you seen us?
We summon awesome forces
We are the ones that myths and legends talk about
We're so far beyond your definitions
We cannot die, we will not be broken
We have been chosen, the lone protectors
To rescue those who can't survive
The onslaught of those Trojan horses
We cannot die, we will not be broken
No, no, no
No way
No, no, no
Listen up kids
So many years, so many broken mirrors
And yet the truth remains so clear
If you do not like us, you might have to fight us
We cannot die, no way
We are your average ordinary superhuman
Punishers of evil, rock and roll band
And we've been designated to save this crazy world
We cannot die, for this is our destiny
Come on now
Here we are now, five lone men
Standing on the edge of disaster
Holding the sword of justice
And watch the hammer fall on all those who oppose us
For we are they, and they are we, the Aquabats
We cannot die, no way
We are your average ordinary superhuman
Punishers of evil, rock and roll band
And we've been designated to save this crazy world
And we must win, for this is our destiny
This is our destiny
This is our destiny
