FUN WITH DOLLY TRACK
Another rad video from LCD Soundsystem for their new single "BIG IDEAS." It must be the same director that helmed "All of My Friends." This guy sure loves his dolly track.

Ain't No Ordinary History Lesson
THE CHICAGO 10 is one of the most original pieces of filmmaking I have ever seen. It tells the story of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where many non violent protesters assembled to demonstrate under the leadership of the YIPPIE activist group. However this film is not done like any conventional documentary would be done with testimonies from old hippies and old police officers. Instead the film is driven by archived footage and old recordings set to contemporary music and computer generated animation.
Aside from the convention THE CHICAGO 10 chronicles the trial that followed attempting to prosecute the YIPPIES for inciting riots and endangering police officers. The courtroom drama that takes place in the film is all taken from actual court transcript and is reenacted by CG animated characters and voice work done by amazing actors. What results is an amazing retelling of a time in history where our country was in a state of unrest and change was greatly wanted (sound familiar). The beauty of this film is that facts aren't recounted, but shown to you by all kinds of different media and heard from the mouth by the people who spoke, when they spoke.
Directed by Brett Morgen, who previously directed the awesome film THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE.
Opens this Friday, March 14 at the Lagoon Cinema for one week.

BAD VAGINA!!
This film was a mystery to me during my time at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Is it a horror film? Is it a comedy? Is it a bizarre social commentary? Everyone I spoke to had trouble trying to describe the film, but all agreed it was an interesting piece of work.
TEETH is the story of Dawn, a high school student in the middle of her "awkward years." Passionate about saving herself for marriage, she participates in her high school's Chastity Club, and practices a moral lifestyle. When her boyfriend becomes a little agressive she discovers she has a special ability only known to some as mythology. They call it Vagina Dentata when a young woman possesses teeth in her lady parts. And it certainly doesn't help with the awkwardness of being young woman getting to know her body. Let alone being one the young men who may be "interested" in Dawn.
...yeeesh
I missed this once, I won't miss it again.
