DESCENDENTS is a beautiful 14-minute animated short about two flowers, one beautiful and pining for something more, another ugly and poisonous and vowing revenge against the animal that trampled her family. According to its makers, the film is “about the wish of attaining the unattainable and about the fact that something good can evolve from something evil.” It’s a great little film with a poetic ending. Check it out in its entirety below.
IDIOCRACY (2006)
The movie of the week is IDIOCRACY, one of the funniest films I’ve ever seen. Joe, a perfectly average man and a soldier in the US Army, participates in a cryogenics experiment that goes wrong, resulting in him waking up 500 years in the future. Unfortunately, due to evolution, the average IQ has fallen so low everybody’s now a complete idiot, making Joe the smartest man in the world. The result is hilarious satire on the human condition and present-day society. If you missed this one, check it out now.
Cabin Goddess Reviews THE INFECTION
Cabin Goddess recently reviewed THE INFECTION, calling it “Terrifying! … It was heart-stopping, sweat-popping scary as shit and an incredible intelligent and tasty horror read! … It is one of the best stories you’ll ever read, examining not only the collapse of society but gifting you with a cross-genre pièce de résistance that sinks its claws, teeth and stingers into you and not letting you go!”
Thanks, Kriss!

The Sacrifice (L4D)
Great trailer promoting “The Sacrifice” campaign for the popular zombie game, L4D. I wish they made actual zombie movies as well as they make these games and promos.

Canadian band Keep You Honest produced an awesome short zombie film to promote a song, “Lose Control,” from its new album. Check it out below. If you like the song, you can download it free here.
A SCANNER DARKLY (2006)
I recently enjoyed watching the film A SCANNER DARKLY again. Based on the classic novel by Philip K. Dick, it’s a fantastic adaptation by Richard Linklater–the only adaptation of a PKD book that was actually true to what Dick intended.
In this Dystopian world, one out of five people is hopelessly addicted to a drug that rapidly murders its victims, justifying a police state that eliminates any traces of liberty.
The film deals with powerful themes of mistrust, isolation/alienation, the permeation of death among life, and nothing being what it seems, with strong performances by its cast, interesting use of animation, and good dialog.
