Rajo tries to beat the clock but just has too much good stuff to say about Hanna, the awesome new film from director Joe Wright.
Zack Snyder's worst film, hands down. Watch it if you like your movies a little short on story, acting, logic, etc. Not even the cool action sequences can redeem it. Watch some vintage Gilliam instead.
Don't have time to watch david lynch's film school masterpiece, then watch this 60 second version instead.

Mike explains stop motion animation, which is incidentally the coolest kind of animation out there.
Imagine the movie "The Lost Boys" and now imagine a new movie comprised of every moment they say michael from that film.
Vince Vaughn and Kevin James in The Dilemma... hoo boy. Ron Howard hasn't tried a comedy like this since 1999's disastrous Ed TV. Mike's got another film lined up for ya though...
Something doesn't quite mesh in Michel Gondry's latest film (featuring Seth Rogan as a super-hero), but still... cool fighting and good jokes.
Mike Leigh's new film is extremely well made, but if you're looking for space lasers, you are decidedly S.O.O.L. my friend.

Not sure about the entire STEALING other children's LEGOs is cool in this short, but the sense of style and mood is quite beautiful. It features LEGOs and thats all that matters to me.
