Video of the Week: “Moon Hoax Not”

By Vatche   Posted in Feature Front Page Movies Video of the Week
Posted on August 28, 2013August 23, 2013

We try to keep the films/video’s we pick for video of the week to under 5 minutes, but this one was too well produced to not link to. In this video, the filmmaker has crafted a documentary in the first person examining why, given the technology of the period, it would have been completely impossible …

Short Film: Shook [80s Slasher]

Posted on August 26, 2013August 26, 2013

Okay, technically, this isn’t a short film, but, it’s definitely not a feature [yet!]. This short, 80’s Slasher inspired trailer is a great throwback to the genre. Shot on 35mm on location in Massachusetts, it calls back to the teen slasher genre of the 1980s, from the production design, to the cheesy dialogue. Enjoy! But …

Groucho had a long spanning career that began in vaudville, and continued well into the the late 50s and early 60s with his popular game show, “You Bet Your Life.” I thought that his great sequence from the 1930 …

Posted on July 24, 2013July 24, 2013

The trailer for Alfonso Cuarón’s latest film “Gravity,” gives me chills every time I see its in IMAX. The concept of spinning off into space is absolutely frightening. Cuarón’s last film was the amazing “Children of Men,” which featured some of the most innovative camera work I’ve seen in modern cinema – I expect nothing …

The world of Guillermo Del Toro’s upcoming PACIFIC RIM is fascinating. A frightening future where Giant Monsters come out of the center of the earth, and Earth’s only hope are these giant human controller robots to fight them. Everything I’ve seen definitely has me interested in this film.

Video of the Week: Jurassic Park’s Spitter

By Vatche   Posted in Feature Front Page Movies Video of the Week
Posted on March 11, 2013March 9, 2013

Obviously my love of film equates to a love of technology, and the technological trickery behind some of motion pictures greatest illusions. It’s been twenty years since Spielberg brought to life the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, and, regardless of its age, the film still stands up to today’s standards. Little known fact, despite its title, …
