Wonderfalls

One of my favourite show that has very sharp, fast pace dialogue, a witty protagonist and a very original story. Definitely worth checking out. All the episodes is on youtube and check Wikipedia for the complete season guide.

Wonderfalls is a comedy-drama television series that was broadcast on the Fox television network in 2004.

The show centres on Jaye Tyler (Caroline Dhavernas), a recent Brown University graduate with a philosophy degree, who holds a dead-end job as a sales clerk at a Niagara Falls gift shop. Jaye is the reluctant participant in conversations with various animal figurines — a wax lion, brass monkey, stuffed bear, and mounted fish, among others — which direct her via oblique instructions to help people in need.

This show was created by the amazing Bryan Fuller who also made Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies. Both Wonderfalls and (especially) Pushing Daisies were inspired by Amelie. These shows are absolutely unique and magical in there own ways. If you're sick of cliche ridden cops/forensic/teen-angst dramas then check these out.

Spoonman

A short film with a very original and interesting idea/concept.

Warning! Does have some mild sex scenes.



Spoonman, the titular gigolo, makes his living cuddling up with women whose husbands can't...or won't. The film was a major success on the local and international festival circuit.

Amelie or Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain

I just recently watched Amelie in full and I have to say
this movie is a masterpiece. I went out and bought the
DVD straight away (something I never do!).

This movie is pure cinematic MAGIC. It has the most
memorable, quirky, unique characters you will ever find.
And oh my gosh the imagination and creativity will never
cease to amaze. Audrey Tautou (23 at the time) gives a
performance of a life time as the eccentric dreamer,
Amelie. The beautiful, BEAUTIFUL cinematography is pure
artistry. And the soundtrack... jeez there is just
sooooooooo much greatness in this french film.

I wish I wrote this amazing script. It reminds me of
some stuff I wrote for Damaged Goods and Coupon for 2
(two works in progress). I always strive to create
'magic' when I write. It's that joy and wonder that
comes with something that is creatively and
imaginatively awesome. In fact, I have a giant note on
my wall, right above my computer, that says 'MAGIC' to
remind myself everyday what I'm trying to create when at
my computer.

Anyways this is La Valse D'Amelie [Piano Version] from
the Amelie soundtrack. Please enjoy and do yourself a
favour and watch Amelie!

The Black Hole

A very cool sci-fi-ish short film.
