  [ 9:18 - from YouTube ]

  Alright, so Father's Day already happened. But if you're the sentimental type, this viral video will tug at your heartstrings any time of year. Over 150 people were interviewed about their most special moments with their father. Some are funny, some are quite sad, especially the guy who utters the immortal line: "I never knew my father so if you're out there, come meet me or whatever." view

  Adventures of Power - Trailer

  Comedy (Spoof), Drama & Genre, Other Gems (Advertisements)
  [ 2:35 - from YouTube ]

  If the drumstick-tossing granny doesn’t get you, Adrian Grenier’s air-spanking cowboy surely will. Or the revival of Mr. Mister’s “Kyrie.” Check out the online trailer for film festival darling “Adventures of Power,” the story of a poor miner’s son who follows his dream of air-drum stardom. This send-up of all the "Rockys," "Flashdances" and "Kyries" is scheduled for release in September. Remember: “Anyone can bounce on the drums, but when you have to bounce your hands off of air, that is a double workout.”  view

  SNL's "Funeral"

  
  Comedy, Other Gems (TV Clip)
  [ 7:03 - from Hulu ]

  This hidden gem from Saturday Night Live's season finale features Will Ferrell at his best, playing the most tactless stand-up comedian / botanist ever. While the skit drags on too long and a late guest appearance by Maya Rudolph almost sinks it, watch for Will Forte's character 4 minutes in. His grim monologue about death, Gitmo and American pride will have you dying in laughter. view

  New Boy

  
  Drama & Genre (Suspense)
  [ 11:32 - from YouTube ]

  I had initially seen this short as part of a presentation of the 2009 Academy Award nominations and was happy to find it online. An African boy must face racial stereotypes in his grade school classroom and bury the demons of his past. The story helps reinforce the notion that sometimes the only thing people need to get along is a common enemy. The film appears to be a prelude to a larger story, and it would be interesting to see a feature length version evolve based on the short. view

  [ 2:04 - from YouTube ]

  How did this fly under the radar for so long? Watch Gary Oldman in his "role of a lifetime" in this wondrously bizarre trailer for 2003 movie "Tiptoes," starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Beckinsale. This film asks the time-honored question: "What would you do if you found out your fiance came from a family of dwarfs?"  view
