Shorts But Sweet
Short films can really pack a punch, if done well.
With little to no budget these mini-movies can deliver the goods.
Sometimes the directors of these shorts hit the big time and the material is adapted for the big screen. Two such lucky filmmakers are David F. Sandberg with Lights Out, which plays so well with our fear of the dark. His 2013 short film below was adapted into a successful big screen version in 2016, also called Lights Out. Sandberg has Annabelle: Creation out in theaters August 11.
Director Andres "Andy" Muschietti and his sister producer Barbara Muschietti created their extremely chilling short film Mama in 2008. It caught the eye of visionary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro who produced the 2013 big screen version also titled Mama. Andy Muschietti has the highly anticipated movie version of Stephen King's It coming September 8.
It's not just horror movies that work in the short film realm. Neill Blomkamp adapted his now-classic sci fi short Alive In Joburg (2005) into his acclaimed big screen District 9 (2009).

Someone Had To Ask: Why, Japan, Why?
I believe that title says it all. Check out 20 sec to 45 sec.
You can watch the rest, the most bizarre thing might be the cup noodles/Tabasco/kabuki-Thursday, December 11, 2014
May The Names and Faces Be With You
After percolating and circulating on the interwebs for a couple weeks that nifty teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens has received a postscript.
JJ Abrams and company, via Entertainment Weekly, finally have put names to faces. Find out who Finn, Rey, BB and Kylo are here.
Still no word on what the story is, but we'll take what we can. And doing this "announcement" in the style of the old Topps Star Wars cards is a very fun and cool way to do it. Props to whomever came up with this idea.

Extraordinary Artist Kim Jung Gi
This is beyond amazing.
Artist Kim Jung Gi freehand drawing in ink - with no sketches laid out - an incredible fantasy tableau. The control he has in that pen-brush is exquisite. It is truly breathtaking.
