I was drawn into the strange tone and pacing of this short from Russia. The film follows the wordless friendship between a young girl and a "giant" - a man who stands on stilts in the center of a small village. Solid production values and a simple and engaging story. view

Atari has crafted a video game that does the "Ghostbusters" franchise proud, with the participation of the original cast and Dan Akroyd's supervision. This featurette explores how the game's designers stayed true to things like proton pack functionality and Slimer's movements. This will be especially appealing to video game nerds and 80's movie fanatics. You know who you are. view

Stick around till the 1:40 mark in this clip from one of Werner Herzog's best films, "Stroszek." A real premature baby shows us that every human being is born with the ability to dream and the will to survive. I know that sounds corny, but this is a beautiful scene. view

Here's a fun little video greeting you can send to Mom. Featuring falling dominoes and a cute little kitty who's in charge. It takes a lot of dominoes to write "Happy Mother's Day," but Mom is worth it, right? view

Former mayor of New York Ed Koch now reviews movies----really. And here is his thumbs down, scathing review of the new Star Trek flick. I especially enjoyed his take on the "boring" special effects and his ennui about the absence of Shatner. All said like a true New Yorker, and frankly the whole premise of the mayor's new career as a movie critic is just too funny. Thumbs up on this one! view

In the safety of their support group, The Sanctum, superheroes reveal personal secrets, demons, that led to their drug addictions. Quirky new drama with a fresh take on the superhero premise--- will be interesting to see the character development as the series progresses. Nice cinematography. view
