Best of NH 48 Hour Film Project Screening!

Alright, so here's the deal; the best of screening is approaching rapidly, only a little more than a week away!

Here's the other part: it WILL sell out, it's pretty much guarenteed; there's 7 other movies I believe and everyone of those teams like us, wants EVERYONE THEY CAN FIND TO COME...

so... buy your tickets now!!

We'll probably hit up some drinks afterwards and maybe a little food (hopefully to celebrate) and you're welcome to come!

Mark's Review: Adaptation

So I had heard great things about Adaptation written by Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine, Being John Malk) from co-founder of Wax Idiotical Kyp Pilalas; so I threw it in my netflix quene, and sure enough it finally arrived...
note: that's not a jab at netflix, that's a jab at the fact that i have 300+ movies/tv shows in my quene.

And I loved it. It's edgy and funny, annnnnddd.... strange.

I'm not entirely sure as to why I loved it; but I definitely feel like it was not a waste of my time watching it. Nick Cage does a fantastic job through out both as Charlie Kaufman and his twin Donald Kaufman. Yes he plays Charlie Kaufman, who's a screenwriter... who's VoiceOver often times mentions how narcistic he is for putting himself in his own script... but it works.

I'd say it's like watching a David Lynch movie because of how twisted everything is, not in a weird way... well yeah in a weird way but also in a comical way. At one point you witness Charlie having an epiphany on how to open the movie he's writing... and he's writing the beginning of the movie that you just watched... at another point he's reading into a tape recorder about how he just read into a tape recorder...

confused? bewildered? interested? you should be. Definitely rent this flick, it's a good time, and if for no other reason, Nick Cage returns to a strong acting style that I haven't seen from him in a long time. As well as the hilarious scenes between Nick Cage and.... Nick Cage.

Mention in the Hippo

WI got another shout out. This time in the Hippo. A New Hampshire entertainment newspaper. Here's a copy of the article.

Walkman?

A boy in the UK is giving up his iPod in favor of a Walkman. Why is this on our site? Because this retro-techie looks a bit like our very own Mark Marshall. And I find that funny.
