Alternate Interstellar Movie Theories and Explanations

Oh I know there are weaknesses in this theory. But when you point them out, my answer is invariably going to be, explain to me your theory, and how it has fewer gaping holes in it than mine? Hahah. No, seriously, I've been struggling with this damn movie since I first walked out of the theater. Normally I crank a movie review the night after I see it. But this one wasn't like that at all. I struggled and struggled and struggled with it until I decided my first thought in the movie theater was all that was left.

Short Film Find Memory 2.0

Lately I've taken a shining to short films.  I love the big ideas of them wrapped in bitesized packages.  They've really been fun to dig into and digest.

New Alien 3 and Blade Runner Sequel News

The only other news I have on the movie front? Oh just a little thing. Apparently Harrison Ford has just signed on for the sequel of Blade Runner. Yeah, that's right. Decker is coming back.

Short Film Find Record Play – Jesse Atlas Interview

The concept is another space time travel idea, but this time the story deals with salvation and intervention in the face of impending and inevitable doom. Record/Play manages to touch on so many rich concepts and ideas so quickly that I hope that Aaron Wolfe and Jesse Atlas are able to see some of their ideas make it to the big screen some day soon.

Timecrimes Movie Explanation and Interview With Nacho Vigalondo

When I first watched TimeCrimes, I was struggling to understand if the TimeCrimes time travel system was deterministic or if time could actually change as the movie moved forward. A lot of this confusion centered around the young woman... who she was, how many times did she die? Did she die at all? Was Hector's wife killed and then saved? Was she killed at all? Etc. I also wasn't sure how the time machine worked. But seeing as though this was the first time that a "vertibrate had entered" the machine, they didn't understand it either.

Oscar Predictions 2015

Alright – Let’s go out on a limb here and post are assumptions about the major categories being decided tonight...

Rabbit and Deer Short Film Interview With Péter Vácz

I think your answer is great. The two characters were partly based on my previous love relationship/on us, and she had a quite different personality from mine but that's what inspired me to be with her. To learn something from another person who I can respect, who can show me the world, little things the way I haven't seen them before and bring the best out of me. And it's one of the best things in life if this need for sharing is mutual from both sides. (Well she did textile design and I make films...which is quite different, but at least both are art in a way)According to your children's question I think they wanted to know why R&D didn't 'do the fun stuff' anymore together since it's hard to accept or see when something good ends (changes).

Short Film Find Polis – Interview with Steven Ilous

What's the next big thing you would need to hear or have happen to move you guys towards a feature length expansion of Polis? -- Well, we won the competition so that is very exciting news. We are just starting the journey of making POLIS. We cant say too much but we're excited by all the support and producers involved.

One of the greatest Surf Swells of all time

These waves? What are they 30 feet? 40? The vertical is crazy. Notice that these guys aren't wearing ankle straps as they are riding? Your board would kill you if you did. Most come with releases now adays, but even so... no way. No thanks. It would drag you down into the coral for sure.

Oscar Short Film 2015 Nominees

Over the last month or so I have been making a concentrated effort of delving into the short film world. I've had the pleasure of talking with a couple of fantastic directors and have discovered there is a ton to this world of shorts I knew nothing about.

The Shining Hedgerow Maze Competition at the Stanley

I've been saying for years, and years, that the scariest, and one of the best books of all time is definitely The Shining. And the movie, with Jack Nicholson is a serious cult classic. Just a phenomenal movie. Definitely two amazing heavyweights in the world of books and movies. Redrum, Redrum.
