  Lovefield

  
  
  [ 5:29 - from YouTube ]

  Shamelessly manipulative, this horror / drama / mystery is undeniably effective. Building atmosphere like some sort of French M. Night Shymalan, director Mathieu Ratthe slowly draws us in into a tale of blood, creepy crows and foreboding winds. The revelation at the end is a complete 180, but by gum, it's satisfying. view

  Oceansize

  
  
  [ 7:47 - from Vimeo ]

  This may give you nightmares.  Travel into the animated abyss in this brilliantly animated short film.  A sea monster is taking over a stationary ocean base, there is only one man left...does our dreadlocked hero find a way out... or is he doomed?  This is well worth watching to find out, if you dare. view

  Little Boy Heroically Shoots, Mutilates Burglar

  
  
  [ 3:32 - from The Onion ]

  This is really, really funny, and really, really morbid at the same time.  Ha Ha...ohh.  The morning show parody of The Onion News Network is just spot on for its tone as always, and this particular story just milks the banality into a scene from a horror film. view

  Modern Warfare: Frozen Crossing

     
  
  [ 7:25 - from YouTube ]

  These guys manage a production quality in this webisode that few others approach, and all for the reported sum of $200. In addition to the CGI and other effects, the video includes well-shot scenes and builds on viewer anticipation. Some of the jump cuts and shakey camera shots can be a little disorienting, but this is some serious web production work and well worth a look. view

  Dust 514

  
  
  [ 1:54 - from Viddler ]

  This game gets my excitement bone flaring, though I still have tons of questions about it. The peeps behind EVE Online the crazy spaceship MMO is coming out with this console MMO/FPS mash up. Yes I know that asks more questions then it answers but hey... looks hot right?!  view

  The Dead Weather - "Treat Me Like Your Mother"

  
  
  [ 4:37 - from MySpace ]

  I'm sorry, but this video is just plain cool. Director Jonathan Glazer uses pretty much every iconic Western trope (desert, leather, guns, cigarettes, sunsets) to enhance the old-school rock pleasures of The Dead Weather. This is yet another side project for the prolific Jack White, who looks awfully Depp-like in this clip. view

  Here's a kids show that's fun for the whole family! Except it's not, and it's not.  view

  Twitter Cops

   
  
  [ 3:18 - from YouTube ]

  Step away from the boring tweet … This parody shows one way to improve Twitter, but its language – and its level of senseless violence – may not be for everyone.  view
