Movies!!!

Gosh it's taking a lot of frustration and effort to get this post up... is it really necessary, I have to ask? Anyway, sorry it's taken so long to get these films up, but I think you'll agree it was worth the wait... not sure if its worth the anger and content though.

This first one is called "Miniture Earth", if you want more info visit http://www.miniature-earth.com/



"Solve for X" is a 35mm black & white action short that follows the story of a few days in the life of a hitman. This 11 minute film contains adult language, themes and violence (ie, no littlens.) Scott Spears, Emmy award winner, is the director of photography. The piece was written & directed by John Whitney and stars Rafael Rosado, a professional animator, director of several animated shows like Men In Black: The Series & Ghostbusters



"Third Wheel" is an award winning short film that tells the story of Charlie Watts. He is cheating on his supportive wife of seven years. The subject of his affair is the beautiful Lindsey Cavanaugh. He plans to get rid of his wife, but Lindsey has other plans. And so begins an adventuresome round of plot twists that build to a suprise-filled climax.



Little less serious one, an authorized (parody) documentary into the life of criminal minds star Matthew Gray Gubler



These days even some music film clips are considered short films, and are huge online. Examples:
Here It Goes Again by Ok, Go



Don't Shoot Me Santa by The Killers (directed by Matthew Gray Gubler)



Comedy clips from The Lonely Island (you know, the Jizz In My Pants and I'm On A Boat guys) are huge online, and a tv show that they made just for online fans called "The Bu" (Young, sexy people that live in Malibu call it 'The Bu', because when you say the entire word, it takes time, and then you wouldn't be young anymore.)

Episode 1


Speaking comedy, lets not forget those guys at Funny or Die (Will Ferrell being one of them), the same people that bought us The Landlord.




I chose these films because... I like miniture earth because I like the thought that the internet and films can both have an important message (very rare combination as far as I can tell)
I like action films.
I love all of Matthew Gray Gublers stuff, because (in his words) there is no reason not to make movies. I love that just about anyone can make films these days, and it really opens the doors for independent shorts like his. And he is hilarious.
I also love bands that put effort into their film clips. You make them to sell the music, and these songs all prove that.

Thats it for today, enjoy the films.
Strike On!!
