Just as the guys behind the Toy Story franchise have made us feel guilty about all the playthings we’ve collectively abandoned over the years, the animation Life Pscycle-ology has us thinking about all the out-dated cell phones we’ve tossed away.

Mast Brothers’ chocolate factory (a ridiculously stylish, grown up version of Willy Wonka, sans spoilt children and orange skinned vertically challenged migrants from Oompa Loompa Land) is located in Brooklyn, New York. What sets them aside from any other chocolate maker in the region, and quite possibly the world, is the fact that Mast Brothers are NYC’s only ‘bean to bar’ chocolate makers. The individually handcrafted chocolates are made from cacao beans from Madagascar, Venezuela, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic, personally sourced by brothers Rick and Michael Mast.

It seems every man and his dog is making a crazy creative video to commemorate their big day (who could forget last year’s epic clip featuring the entire bridal party dancing down the aisle?) and this is no exception. Set to the sultry tune of Passion Pit’s Sleepyhead, it seems that Lauren and JP don’t take themselves too seriously.

Here comes another one of those mindbending trailers which is all fancy bang-boom-crash to be sure, but leaves us wondering “what the hell is this even about?!”. Enter Sucker Punch, the brainchild of director Zack Synder (Watchmen, 300) and co-writer Steve Shibuya; an ass-kicking, rapidfire videogame/anime/action/fantasy, graphically intense and stylized to the nines in that signature Snyder style.

A remake of the 1994 cult film, The Crow, is apparently something that has been slated for a while now. Stephen Norrington (Blade, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) originally penned a screenplay, but I guess it must have sucked major ass, because we didn’t hear anything about it for a while, and now the film’s producer has come out and announced that Nick Cave is attached for a rewrite. For those unaware, Cave’s last feature-length script was a little film called The Proposition (2005), so it’s fair to say that the Internet is collectively crowing in positivity (“CAA! CAA!”) at the news.

On the surface, The Ballad of Des and Mo, “a film about love, luggage and living on the edge,” sounds like your run of the mill rom-com. It’s the way the thing’s being put together, though, that makes us sit up and take note. British writer/director James Fair and his team of loyal helpers have spent the past year planning every detail of the production, which will take place in just 72 hours on the streets of a city which, not long ago, was totally foreign to him.

In the grand tradition of such mockumentary masterminds as Christopher Guest, Gervais & Merchant and Rob Reiner comes The Mother of Invention.

WARNING: This film will cause you to cry like a baby. We’re not talking about the kind of tears that trickle silently down your cheeks, there will be sobs. It will be messy. But it will make you feel good Eliot Rausch is a writer/director/producer with a background in design and advertising, but he shows amazing chops as a documentary filmmaker. He met Jason Wood after he raised just enough money to get his beloved dog’s leg amputated after it had been ravaged by cancer, but the disease had already spread to the rest of his body. Wood made the difficult decision to get his canine friend put down.

Everybody loves those interactive play-at-home games where mom, pop and the kids or your fave selection of friends and a bottle of wine gather around the television and start screaming the answers to obscure music, film or celebrity questions, frantically bashing the Xbox controller or otherwise. Therein lies the joy of 35mm; an animated journey through film created by Sarah Biermann, Torsten Strer, Felix Meyer and Pascal Monaco.

Ever made a blooper or a blunder and accidentally slipped out a few choice words? Are you a fan of the video sensation website Youtube? (How could you not be?) If you answered yes to these two questions, then it is possible than you may have heard of “The Winnebago Man” Jack Rebney, or as he is also infamously known as “The Angriest Man in the World”.
