If you haven't had the chance to catch Nina Paley's Sita Sings the Blues you can check it out on her website for free. Paley has been a strong advocate of free distribution. On her site she offers it in 3 resolutions, two of which are "broadcast" quality. Her use of 2 dimensional computer graphics is nothing short of splendid. Bright, vivid and humorous Sita dazzles.Sita is a Hindu goddess, the leading lady of India’s epic the Ramayana and a dutiful wife who follows her husband Rama on a 14 year exile to a forest, only to be kidnapped...

Taxidermia initially premiered in the states at the Portland Film Festival way back in February of 08. It's now slated for an official U.S. release date of August 14. Taxidermia contains three generational stories, about a grandfather, a father, and a son, linked together by recurring motifs. The dim grandfather, an orderly during World War Two, lives in his bizarre fantasies; he desires love. The huge father seeks success as a top athlete — a speed eater — in the post-war pro-Soviet era. The grandson, a meek, small-boned taxidermist,...

(Don’t worry, reader, no spoilers in this one.)Coraline is a great picture that hits all the right chords with this viewer. It’s tender, funny, and even a little creepy at times. Everything about it is quality entertainment: good story, good characters, great performances, a fantastic soundtrack (None of that radio Disney crap), and really, really exquisite character designs. Everybody looks totally unique. And hilarious, too.My favorite looking character, personally, is Mr. Bobinsky. And when you’re watching this film, you have to sit...

The first trailer for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland reached the internet this week. As far as I can tell it looks 1 part Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and 1 part Big Fish with a dash of Pirates. Burton morbidity has always remained juvenile and that seems to be the case here. It's weird but safe. I promised myself I wouldn't watch too much of this, but here it goes...See it Here.Via:cinemati...

Remember when everyone thought Billy Bob was going to play Freddy a re-imagining of the Nightmare on Elmstreet property. Well that's a distant memory. Jackie Earle Haley has officially stepped into the role and Trailer Park has the pic to prove it. From the image we can't tell an awful lot except that Haley is barely distinguishable from Englund who originally played Krueger. Of course it's an extremely early photo, but it looks like everything is headed in the right direction. Although the photo is brimming with gritty realism à...

Apparently John Lasseter was trying his hand at C.G. way back in 1983. It was then that he did some test for a movie adaptation based on the famous Maurice Sendak book Where The Wild Things Are. Luckily for us, of that footage still exist. Of course the project and Lasseter were eventually canned due to enormous budget. But I think this is pretty dang amazing for 1983. Thanks to Elisabeth Rappe of Cinematical for the heads up.For some reason the player doesn't work that well. Press the Space Bar to start ...
