Crazy Art is a documentary looking at the link between art and mental illness, and how it might help sufferers cope with the symptoms of whatever it is they have.
The Art of Stand Up
This is a documentary about stand up comedy, and it contains clips of live shows, and thoughts from comedians, from both Britain and America. I don’t know a single person who isn’t interested in stand up, so it’ll be interesting to most.
Why Most Rappers are Broke
We are always fed images and stories of success, wealth and abundance, especially from Hip Hop, whether it’s via an artist or group that’s completely placed themselves in the Hip Hop category, or it’s via an artist or group influenced by it.
Dogville Film Review
If Lars Von Trier provided mercy within Dogville, I’d say he did a fairly poor job at showing it, but thank god for that. Dogville is the first work of art to bring me to my knees and reminded me of my own humanity.

God’s Complex (short film)
This is a short film, dealing with a few different topics – philosophy, religion and spirituality and (personal) psychology. There’s some things in the dialogue that have undertones, references, and deeper meanings, that take a couple of times watching to ‘get’.
Clint Mansell-Man Behind the Mood
I’m shameless when it comes to talking about Clint Mansell, I just can’t help it, the man is amazing. When I first watched Requiem for a Dream and Pi, I knew the scoring was the dynamic part of the film, more so than others (not to suggest that Aronofsky isn’t a talented director by all means).
Antichrist Film Review
You remember the time when you were a child and you were at your aunts house and she had to go to the grocers and she handed you the remote for the tv/satellite and told you to not go pass channel 1056 because they were for “adults”?
Animation Spotlight Sundance Film Review Breakdown Pt. 1
This year at Sundance, I have had the pleasure to view the Animation Spotlight which are a collection of animated short films for the price of one Sundance movie. The amazing thing about animation is that the content is diverse and the imagination can run wild.
“Excision” Sundance Film Review
You know those moments in your life when you realize how much you like something? Yeah, and then you realize how fucked up you are for liking it? That’s the realization I got after the ending of “Excision.”

First documented in 2005 by Emad Burnat, 5 Broken Cameras uses the destruction of each camera to highlight its own story and to symbolize the struggle and dangers in a small Palestinian village called Bil’in due to the infringement by the Israeli army.
