Fave Trailers of the Week

All the trailers below, are the films that I've been waiting for a good long year to arrive! I'm very excited that these full length trailers are available for me to share them with you!

Mood Indigo 

"take me on that a train" 

The title was named after the famous jazz song from jazz musician Duke Ellington, which makes me even MORE excited for this film to be released! Mood Indigo stars French stars Audrey Tautou (Amelie, the Da Vinci's Code) and Romain Duris (The Beat That My Heart Skipped, Heartbreaker), whom were directed by Michael Gondry (man that did Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). I'm expecting a lot of quirky-ness, a plethora of imaginations and impossibilities that will make this film possibly amazing and romantic! 

Here's the synopsis: 

"A woman suffers from an unusual diseases caused by a flower growing in her lungs"

In this world, people happen to just drive around in cloud cars, so I'm assuming illnesses caused by flowers might be a norm. . . or not. 

Paperman

When you want someone's attention, build them a paper plane. 

I just finished watching this sweet short by director John Kahrs, "Paperman", produced by the Walt Disney Animation Studios, and it's nominated for an Oscar in this year's Best Animated Short Film category. This combines 2D and 3D animation, while it merges hand-drawn and computer-generated images together to offer the audience a more dynamic view on animated films! Below is a quick inside look by Kahrs, while he talks about the concepts and methodology he took to create this amazing piece. 

Here's the synopsis:

"The short follows the story of a lonely young man in New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office, and sets out to get her attention"

It is such a sweet and "hopelessly romantic" film. I really recommend spending 6 minutes (give and take) to check it out!

Follow me on Tumblr!

As said in my title!

I've been updating a bunch more on my tumblr account, which can be found at /http://jlt-movies.tumblr.com/ (i know, such an original user name!) I find that it is much easier to share pictures and re-blog articles faster, and the tumblr community is pretty responsive and supportive. You'd be surprised as to how many people re-blogged my "Moorise Kingdom" pictures, (actually not really, that movie was indie-ly-awsome!)

So, please check it out for more film and media related news and photos!

Blog to you soon!

Cheers!
