C’était un Rendezvous

I almost for­got about this short film. Pret­ty cool one-take flick.1 Crazy dri­ving skills for sure. I guess its true to the con­cept that “90% of life is just show­ing up.“2

  1. It seems that this type of film tech­nique is an exam­ple of ciné­ma-vérité. Ciné­ma vérité is a style of doc­u­men­tary film­mak­ing, com­bin­ing nat­u­ral­is­tic tech­niques with styl­ized cin­e­mat­ic devices of edit­ing and cam­er­a­work, staged set-ups, and the use of the cam­era to pro­voke sub­jects.

When you don’t have time to sit through a 2‑hour movie at home, you can always check out the shorts over at Hulu. The sec­tion is called “Reel Moments”.

Award-win­ning short films. Hol­ly­wood’s hottest direc­tors. Movies inspired by read­ers. Final­ly all in one place. Go ahead and dig in.

Check out this one direct­ed by Kate Hud­son called, Cut­lass. It stars Vir­ginia Mad­sen, Chevy Chase, Kurt Rus­sell, Dako­ta Fan­ning and Kris­ten Stew­art.

X‑Men Origins: Wolverine Movie Trailer

Sweet—it’s out! I was going to check out The Day the Earth Stood Still a week or so ago and was stoked to find out that they added the trail­er for X‑Men Ori­gins: Wolver­ine in the pre­views. Sad­ly, I did­n’t have time to roll. How­ev­er, it was dope to find that they final­ly brought it online.

Here’s the one that is being shown on Hulu. I just hope that it’s not on some kind of time lim­it. At least they have this on Youtube as well.

Any­ways, can’t wait till Spring 2009.
