Here we are again with another compilation of found films from the web. Lots of stuff, no theme. Have fun.
Shorts
How difficult is it to write a love letter? What is so hard about saying those magic words to the one of your dreams? How can it possibly go wrong? Come with us on a journey, a trip into the mind of a man obsessed with finding exactly the right words to express his love.
Three Little Words is funny, poignant and only 4 minutes long.
The Oscar Controversy
Peter Serafinowicz parodies the entertaiment media with a report on the controversial new Oscar.
Powerdate
The dangers of being a judo dog on a date. Very silly. Very funny.
Harvie Krumpet
Life has not been easy for Harvie Krumpet but, throughout all his disasters and hardships, he manages to maintain a sunny demeanour in the gently funny stop motion animation from Adam Elliot.
The film is narrated by Geoffrey Rush and won the 2004 Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.
Excursion
And while I’m on the subject of narrated comedies, let me also point you in the direction of Excursion, a surreal experimental comedy about the absurdity of daily life.
If David Lynch had made The Office, this is how it would have looked.
Edit>Love
Director Kiyong Kim snagged a very well deserved first place spot in Atom Films‘ Intel Indies Film Contest for this sweet short.
How to Tell When a Relationship is Over in Ninety Seconds
Breaking up might be hard to do, but this handy 90 second guide makes it easy to spot.
Short, sweet and very funny.
Clips
Scorchio!
Elena Bouryka was the ‘microphone girl’ on Italian mock talk show, Bla Bla Bla. Now you can see here read the weather forecast.
It’s Italian. That really is all you need to know.
I’m a scientist. I don’t believe in anything!
This is a great clip from B-movie spoof, The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra.
Super Mario Kill Bill
If you’ve ever wondered what the Chiaki Kuriyama vs. Uma Thurman figth scene from Kill Bill Vol. 1 would be like if the soundtrack had been lifted from Super Mario Bros., then wonder no more.
Trailers
Brokeback to the Future
The touching story of a romance that could never be. If you haven’t already seen Brokeback to the Future, now is your chance.
Must Love Jaws
The classic romantic comedy about two men and a shark.
And Finally
Hurra Torpedo - Total Eclipse Of The Heart
I’ve only recently discovered Norwegian Appliance Rock band Hurra Torpedo but, having just seen their take on Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart, I’m hooked. And so should you be.
