No home, no belongings, plenty of baggage. A short film about a man, his stories and the boy who listened, by award-winning director Lucy Tcherniak. The film tells the story of an unlikely friendship between an old Congolese man and a young runaway, living rough on the streets.
The Truth About Stanley is a story about friendship, loss, and the way in which we choose to deal with personal trauma. For Stanley, what he lacks in material possessions, he makes up for with his vivid imagination and an insatiable desire to tell stories.

You may laugh and mock all you want, but the truth is you don’t really know if they exist or not. Do you? They fly in a different light that humans can’t see. The only way you can see them is if you devote your life to finding them.
This dude knows what i’m talking about, he knows that to make us all believe he needs to get some evidence that no one could ever refute, however dangerous it might be. This is his story. ‘Listen to the trees’

A long time ago, like in the 1980s or something, there was a trailer & it was used to advertise a film. This is the story of that trailer. Not really, this is a bunch of work shy film students trying to make a formulaic action trailer for the movie moguls of L.A.
Will they shake the very foundations of Hollywood? Or will they wish they hadn’t missed half their classes down the bar drinking cheap beer & discussing what you call a Whopper in Paris?

*slap* There’s nothing like watching the force and pent up release of a decent slap. I say watching, because you don’t want to be on the receiving end of one.
And this montage has them in abundance, in all their manifest forms, from the hard and fast, to the more delicate and playful. No E. Honda though. Shame.

You’ve got to love a fan made film; the geeky detail, the love of the source material to the point of obsession–and this is a good one.
Set in the Half-Life world, they’re managed to crow bar in all the props from the game, like, er, the crow bar and stuff.

Nicholas Cage has never been a favourite actor of mine. Because, well, he can’t act. He cannot act. Not only is he thespianically challenged, but also intensely annoying. This, as you can imagine, is a film which attracts my interest.
A 4 minute trailer for a feature film with Cage losing his mind? I’d book in advance, front row seat and stock up on gargantuan amounts of popcorn. That’d serve him right for ruining The Wickerman. I’m not happy till I see him in a straight-jacket

Get ready for some bedazzling bum-chum broomstick action and make with the lolz people as cut-up maverick Cassetteboy sinks his magnetic fangs into the latest Harry Botter and rips it a newbie making it a far more entertaining film in this short trailer than the entire lametard movie franchise in its entirety.
Yeah, that’s right, Harry Potter sucks Voldemort’s hairy ass crack. Still, it makes for an interesting twist in the formulaic plot!

Unless you hadn’t heard – that age old classic Tron is being remade and released by the end of the year.
It’s probably the coolest, most neon laced fun you can have at the cinema and if that wasn’t enough, Daft Punk are doing the soundtrack this time round.
So, why not indulge in an alternative musical re-hash to get your lips smacking.

We all love cars, hell, even gay people and evil dictators cannot deny a fondness for a fender and a throbbing engine, it’s in our blood, our mind, and in most cases, the keys are in our pockets.
The best of all are the vehicles from film and TV – These fictional cars ROCK!
But what are the best ones i hear you ask? Don’t fret because an answer is at hand……ENJOY!

Although I’ve not seen the TV series before, I’m pretty sure I’ve got the measure of the A-Team. A kitsch, cartoon-esque rendering of a band of rebellious soldiers who are both misunderstood and haplessly effective at aiding those in need.
Despite having not seen the 80s version, my judgement on the 2010 film was clear.
It is not a good one, and it’s plan does NOT ‘come together’.

You’ve been to the website, got the app. on your phone and now you can watch the film – The only thing really left is to buy the Tee Shirt!
For those of you unfamiliar with the premise, the film is loosely based on the book ‘The Accidental Billionaires’ and it chronicles the foundation and rise of Facebook. By all accounts it actually looks pretty damn decent.
Let’s hope the nerdcore in us all can put the horrors of ‘Hackers’ to rest when this hits the big screen in October!

Oh God, someone plz rip out my eyes with a blunt wooden stake and feed me to the wolves, Twilight is back in town…….But WAIT!
Now this is more like it. I’d be screaming my throat dry & weeping profusely from maddening lust if this was what the Twilight movies were like: Sweet-ass chicks making out in their underwear.
Robert Pattinson, go suck a sparkly dick!

As far as the depiction of family life goes, the film market is saturated with this topic of interest.
The Hollywood representation of suburban family decline in American Beauty, for example, could be seen as a definitive example of many films like it – excellent as it is.
Film makers have long wanted to pull back the veil on the flimsy facade of something with which we are all familiar. However, few directors manage the subtlety, beauty and sadness that the Martini brothers achieve with Lymelife.

This is an interesting short film by Ramin Bahrani, about a plastic bag and its epic journey across the barren landscapes of America searching for its maker.
But this isn’t just any plastic bag, not like the ones that douche from American Beauty was filming.
No, this plastic bag has the voice of filmmaker Werner Herzog.
