Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, The Lord of the Rings. They’re excellent trilogies of my generation and are joined by The Cornetto Trilogy which encompasses Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End. Directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and an array of brilliant character actors, the video above provides a master cut of the 3 movies. Note: there be spoilers.
I started watching Community almost four years ago and it’s some of the most batshit crazy comedy you’ll see but I love how they do it. Thank you Dan Harmon and co.
BUSK is a short, social issues and subcultural music documentary, following five musicians as they busk in the arteries of the NYC subway system. It’s a brilliant insight into why they perform there and the challenges they face in doing so. Well worth a watch.
What an utterly compelling and uncomfortable watch this was. Chiwetel Ejiofor delivers a stunning performance as Solomon Northup, a free man, kidnapped and sold into slavery. Michael Fassbender’s slavemaster Epps is as intimidating and cruel as he’s ever likely to be on the screen. In fact, there wasn’t a bad performance in the entire film. Steve McQueen’s run of superb films continues and you’ll understand when you see it why it has, and will, continue to win awards.
A conversation with Richard Linklater (director of the Before… trilogy of films) through cinema and time… about cinema and time. If you haven’t seen them, I highly recommend the trilogy of films shown in the video. Start with Before Sunrise. (hat tip to John Morton who pointed this video out on Twitter)
