Super Mario vs. The World by Sebastian von Buchwald

Mario has finally had enough of all the pixel and polygon pretenders to his throne, carved from the broken skulls of enemies past. Embarking on a painstaking journey across Vidya Gaem Land to do battle with each level’s greatest warriors, Mario intends to stomp on the head of whomever dare challenge him. You can check out many more in this series as well as other cool arts at Sebastian’s deviantart .

Now THIS should be a game.

Smash - Pilot

I may or may not be obsessed with NBC’s Smash. I’ve always wanted to see a musical with an ‘All About Eve’ sort of slant to it. There’s nothing more palpable than female rivalry. Also, the climactic musical number (an original song which the show will be full of) is kind of epic. Check out the pilot on youtube.

Among Moscow’s large population of homeless canines, a small minority who frequent or inhabit its metro have attracted international attention due to their having learned how to use the trains to commute to and from various locations.

The dogs have learned to cross the street with pedestrians and have been observed obeying traffic lights.

I posted about this movie a while back but I just now finally got to see it. Tiny Furniture is this awesome coming of age movie that follows a girl fresh off of college and trying to figure out what the hell she should do with her life. She is constantly tortured by her selfish famous artist of a mother, her child genius younger sister, her party obsessed new old best friend and a youtube star that she digs. It’s hilarious and quirky and just plain clever.

At first glance, Last Train Home is a movie about what is touted as the greatest human migration on earth, the annual homecoming of Chinese migrant workers for Chinese New Year’s. But upon closer inspection, this documentary actually is a gripping family drama about the effects of having absentee parents (and believe me, I know how that feels). It follows the story of a married couple who work seven days a week in a jeans factory in one of the country’s inhospitable industrial cities while their children live with their grandmother several hundred miles away in an impoverished village. The beauty of this documentary is that it starts off with the subjects being very polite and courteous to one another in the presence of a film crew but as the months past, the tensions between the couple and their rebellious eldest daughter come boiling to the surface. This is a must see.

So my best friend decided to start talking about this one movie called Submarine directed by good ole’ Richard Ayoade and then my other best friend seconded the recommendation. I should listen to friends more often. This movie is awesome. I’ve already stated I have a thing for coming of age movies but couple that with the quirkiness and adorable accents of this movie and it’s a great recipe for a truly satisfying film.

Sherlock Series 2, Yeah that was awesome. I love the very relevant themes of facts v.s. fiction and a person’s reputation in the modern world. (Moffat is on to something, this very closely mirrors the themes of Doctor Who Series 6, although here it’s achieved far more excitingly thanks to the creation of an actual figurehead villain in Moriarty rather than the vague ‘cult’ that is The Silence) Well done all around.
