short film Archives - i luv cinema

I was amused by this trailer for the theatrical release Stars in Shorts – a collection of short narratives. On a brisk Sunday morning, I thought I would share this with you and get your thoughts.

While some of the vignettes do seem kind of interesting I must admit that the trailer guy makes it sound a bit cheesy. But looking past that fact, it does feature some of my favorite actors – namely Dench, Firth, Knightley, Hiddleston, Branagh and the grossly underutilized Sarah Paulson.

Visit the website, Stars in Shorts, for a listing of venues showing the film nationwide (scheduled release date: September 28). And for those of you who choose not to cinema at your ‘local,’ it looks like the film will also be available on iTunes and VOD.

Hello out there!

I have a barely watched copy of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button* I would like to give to someone out there in the blogosphere.

BUT I will not make it that easy for you …

This evening (5/17) I had the pleasure to watch 1967 short subject film The White Bus by Lindsay Anderson. It was certainly a surreal experience. In fact it is an experience that has left me a bit perplexed.

So this is the challenge I lay before you – if you have seen it, please submit your synopsis and interpretation of the film below in the comments section. I will select the best interpretation and send off the disk!

All submissions must be sent in by 11:59PM (Eastern) on Tuesday, May 17th 2011.

Good Luck!

*this is a Criterion Collection Blu Ray Disk (BD) for the North America region.
