  Alive in Joburg

  (Sci-Fi)
  [ 6:24 - from YouTube ]

  Short faux-documentary directed by Neill Blomkamp tells the story of an alien invasion in Johannesburg, South Africa that was dismantled by the oppressive Apartheid government. The video is a predecessor to the movie District 9 and successfully makes the human race seem more strange and aggressive than the aliens. Fantastic visual effects and prosthetics, filled with provocative ideas. Take a coffee break with the uncanny. view

  Getting Away With Murder: High Noon at the Book Nook

  (Action)
  [ 3:45 - from IFC ]

  Sandwiched between big budget television and ad hoc webcam clips are some well-produced, engaging, and fun webisodic gems. "Getting Away With Murder" is an IFC Independent series that was launched a few years back. It does a great job of bringing dark comedy to the web video space. I really appreciate the attention to detail given in this series (particularly the music) - an example for others to follow. view

  "Up In the Air" - Trailer

  (Romance)
  [ 2:02 - from YouTube ]

  Normally, I wouldn't think a movie preview is worth posting; they're a dime a dozen, right? But this trailer for George Clooney's "Up in the Air" is a mini-masterpiece of mood and tone. Clooney's perfect narration, the melancholy music, the breathtaking aerial shots of cities... If the movie's half this good, it will be something special. view

  My Profile Story 101

  (Soaps)
  [ 5:18 - from Atom ]

  Here's a new web series that parodies social networking. It's a quirky story of one girl's magical online profile and the drama that ensues when her "Top Friends" come to life and argue, gossip, and back-stab. It's original, has cool effects, and plenty of satirical storyline possibilities for the future.   view

You'll just have to watch to figure that one out...  view

  Last Day Dream

  
  
  [ 1:37 - from YouTube ]

  Here's a well done short film that conveys an entire lifetime using only pivotal moments in one's life. Shot entirely from the main character's POV, this is a strong idea, perfectly executed.  view
