This is Beautiful: My Father’s Garden

We had a garden once. And then came the two terrors, Big Min and Lil’ Pun, who decided to re-decorate it for us by digging up the soil and gleefully eating the succulents. I would have severely disciplined them if not for the fact that they’re so very cute. Yes I know, I have a soft touch. But you didn’t visit to hear about my appendages.

Mirko Faienza, a cameraman from Italy, decided to document his father’s front garden and the insects that call it home. It’s an amazing little world made that much better by Mirko’s spectacular videography. The music is great too, it’s a truly beautiful piece. See My Father’s Garden below or watch it in HD on Vimeo.

He created the short film with his Panasonic 500 camcorder and an HD lens. See more of Mirko’s work on his website.

The New “Robin Hood” Trailer Hits The Mark

From the melodramatic tagline to Kevin Costner’s under-acting I don’t have any fond memories of watching Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. At school we despised Bryan Adams for the part he played in music class – our teacher forced us to sing the movie’s ending theme “Everything I do, I do it for you” when she knew very well that we’d rather be watching the hotties horse about in River Dance. In any case, a new Robin Hood movie is on the horizon and from the looks of the trailer, is set to be a more grittier take on the story of the legendary archer and swordsman. Check it out below.

Directed by Ridley Scott (Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator), the film sees Russell Crowe ditching the traditional tights in favour of a more menacing look – he’s armoured, very medieval, and quite angry about the injustices going on around these fair lands. Cate Blanchett stars as Lady Marian, and Mark Strong will play the King’s dastardly henchman, Sir Godfrey. Robin Hood is set to release worldwide on May 14th, 2010.

Official “Tron Legacy” Trailer is so Very Sexy

Our man Macross is on holiday somewhere in the United States and is a big fan of Disney’s 1982 attempt at the sci-fi computer animation. I don’t want to put words in his mouth, but I’m think he would have jizzed in his pants upon seeing the official teaser trailer for Tron Legacy. It looks awesome to say the very least – check it out below.

You can watch the high definition trailer at program-glitch-esc.net.

Tron Legacy is a sequel to the 1982 film Tron, with Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner reprising their roles. Here’s the synopsis:

Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidante (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

It’ll be the first feature film from director Joseph Kosinski and electro-pop duo Daft Punk will do the score. Tron Legacy will be shown in 3D starting on December 17th, 2010 in U.S. theatres. Word has it that it’ll reach South African shores on December 31st.

Procrastination

I’m a master procrastinator (I had a great teacher in Lucy furr). In fact, I had meant to post about this yesterday Wink

London-based illustrator, Johnny Kelly created a quirky video for his graduation project at the Royal College of Art all about procrastination. It’s worth a watch if you have other pressing work things to get to but don’t quite feel like it.

Nuit Blanche

Directed by directed by Spy Films‘ Arev Manoukian, “Nuit Blanche” is a short film set in 1950s Paris and tells the story of a man who catches the gaze of a woman sitting in a cafe across the street. It shows how a fleeting glance between two strangers could result in an explosion of feelings (and a few other things). It’s really quite dramatic, check it out below.

If you’re interested, see the making of Nuit Blanche on YouTube.

The Notorious MSG: Chinatown Hustler

From the mean streets of New York City comes the story of hustlers, loose women, and piping hot Chinese food. It’s The Notorious MSG mother-suckers, and they’re rivin’ the rife of a Chinatown Hustler.

A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything

As a final project for an art course, UK student Jamie Bell imaginatively created a flipbook video that humourously chronicles the history of our universe. Three weeks and 2100 pages later, Bell’s magnum opus, “A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything” was born.

It’s so much fun to watch, and I can imagine Jamie had just as a good a time making it. He got full marks for it. Check it out below, don’t blink though you might miss something.

The Making of the 2010 Pirelli Calendar

It’s almost the weekend, I’m tired, and my mind has gone into hibernation mode. I was going to use that as an excuse for posting this, but then I realized one doesn’t need a reason for this kind of thing. Wink

Tyre company Pirelli has been making a girly calendar since the 1960s and whilst I don’t like their elitist approach when it comes to distributing their calendar, I do appreciate the remarkable cast of women that pose for it. Our chances of snagging an actual calendar are as small as my tolerance for clowns, so the behind-the-scenes action from the 2010 Pirelli Calendar photo shoot will just have to do. In fact, the softporn music has already lulled me into a happy daze. I don’t think I need to tell you that the video is NSFW (unless you’re on someone else’s work computer) and can be found after the jump.
