Spider
Here’s a great short film from 2007. It’s earned a slew of film festival awards and a high rating on the IMDb, but it’s virtually unknown, for no better reason than that there isn’t a commercial delivery system for short films anymore. I love it because in the span of just nine minutes, it manages to cover a wider range of emotions than most full features do. For that matter, it tells a more complete story than many do, too. Shorts like this demonstrate just how much you can do with so little.

Bond. Suburban Angst Bond.
News came in about the director of the next James Bond film, and the name couldn’t have been more surprising to me. It’s Sam Mendes, director of American Beauty and Revolutionary Road.
