A Powerful Ad

I was playing around in the iPad, testing a new app and then started procrastinating and ended up on YouTube as we all do when we procrastinate, and found this old ad, but I thought it was worth posting. It’s still a powerful ad, even if it’s 3 years old. Enjoy.

Born for Drama

Okay, so I thought this was probably the most hysterical shorts I’ve ever seen. I’m sure there’s many more out there that are funnier, but personally…this had me in fits. I love British humour and even as I write this, I’m already laughing and getting tears in my eyes.

Thank you to my coworker Pierre for this gem!

Legion – Movie Review (Mostly not)

So last night at 7:10pm I got to sit down next to my trusty sidekick Beki and watch Legion. Firstly, the previews were pretty great.

The first one was about the Hot Tub Time Machine (see trailer), which looked really hilarious. I especially liked the bit where the black guy asks what colour Michael Jackson is to find out if they traveled back in time. Priceless. After that we saw one for Death at a Funeral (see trailer) with Chris Rock. Loved the bit where Chris Rock said something about their dead father being in a homosexual relationship with a small person, but Martin Lawrence’s character big hang-up is that the guy is white. It looks like funny stuff, so of course I’d like to see it.

Randomly there was this preview for Takers (see trailer), which has a pretty decent line-up. Paul Walker, Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen, Zoe Saldana (who is in everything right now). All I could think at the end of the preview was…how grossed out was Zoe? I mean she had to be romantically involved with Chris Brown for the movie. Sounds absolutely heinous to me, but I guess the poor guy needs an acting career since he fubared the rest when he pummelled Rihanna.

FINALLY ABOUT THE MOVIE

I don’t even know how to put it all into words. I thought it was an absolutely fantastic film. The selection of Paul Bettany for Michael was perfect. I totally loved him in the role. The guy who played Gabriel not so much, but it’s probably because I liked the fact that Constantine had a gender-bending version of Gabriel as one of its angels (boy was she/he crazy or what). Dennis Quaid was cool too. Okay, everyone was pretty cool. I just liked it all.

Where was I?

This is a lot like the story of Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus with a little dash of god being vengeful. I am just now realizing that I can’t really say much without giving something away. You’re just going to have to WATCH THE TRAILER and take my word for it that it’s worth going to see. It’s one of those things where you just need to see it and you’ll get it. I’m sure someone out there will hate it, but I really couldn’t care less. It was really interesting story, the time flew by.

Madame Tutli-Putli from the National Film Board of Canada

2007 Oscar®-nominated short-film Madame Tutli-Putli. One of the many treasures of the National Film Board of Canada.

Watch the high-definition version of the film here.

Author: Chris Lavis, Maciek Szczerbowski

This stop-motion animated film takes viewers on an exhilarating existential journey into the fully imagined, tactile world of Madame Tutli-Putli. As she travels alone on the night train, weighed down with all her earthly possessions and the ghosts of her past, she faces both the kindness and menace of strangers. Finding herself caught up in a desperate metaphysical adventure, adrift between real and imagined worlds, Madame Tutli-Putli confronts her demons.

A random video I found on YouTube. It’s cute. :D

The Strangers

Watched this movie last night; thought that it might be kind of good, but sadly it didn’t end up that way at all.

There were definitely moments of terror that actually seemed pretty great suspense-wise, but because of the utter failure to create a plot and actually make a decent movie; the director wasted those moments that we’ll never get back to put in another film. Thanks a lot.

Overall I was pretty disappointed with the film. As my wife pointed out, it had every cliché it could possibly get in at any moment and we would both like to know one thing…

WHAT IS THE POINT IN HIDING THE KILLERS FACES DURING THE ENTIRE MOVIE!?…They removed their masks at the end and we still didn’t see their faces! Sounds like a cheap cop-out version of the Halloween movies. Did Liv Tyler owe a favour to a filmmaker friend of hers? I sure hope so, cause it was a bad decision to make this film.

At least there wasn’t a ton of blood everywhere, I’ll at least give it that. And they barely used sound as a gimmic. Although, when they made the DVD they made sure the voices were lower so you had to turn up the sound to hear it and then made the rest of the sounds louder so when sound did show up, it surprised you. Cheap scares. Give me Saw anytime.
