(转自IMDB) Everything returns to normal after Chernobyl. That is, everything but art. Most of the great works are lost, and it is up to people like William Shakespear Junior the Fifth to restore the lost artwork of the human race. He finds strange goings-on at a resort enough to remind him of all the lines of the play, dealing with mob boss Don Learo and his daughter Cordelia, a strange professor named Jean Luc-Godard (sic), who repeatedly xeroxes his hand for no particular reason. He is followed by four humanoid goblins that keep tormenting Cordelia. There is also the gentleman whose girlfriend, Valerie, isn't always visible. Then the film is sent off to New York for Mr. Alien to edit.
一位深夜的电台脱口秀节目主持人决定他厌倦了讲故事和采访人们。他打开电话排队,直接听到马歇尔敦居民的故事。夜间谈话者是一本微型恐怖选集,其中比尔·莫斯利(Bill Moseley)是深夜广播主持人,招募了听众的奇怪故事。像市场上的大多数电影(微型恐怖片)一样,观众也有一个混合的袋子。“ Gruenwald House”很容易成为三个主要故事中最好的,但受到大型演员和欠发达的故事的阻碍。但是,珍娜·鲁伊斯(Jenna Ruiz)和布列塔尼·史密斯(Brittany Smith)的表演使观众参与其中。在SFX艺术家兼面具制造商的“后国” Scott Blake中,刻画了一个近乎杂种的Hillbilly,让人联想到Crypt Keeper的出色表现,但这个故事最终是一次跳跃恐慌的漫长尝试。同样,音频和摄影是一个混合的袋子。例如,该作品本可以使用搬运工毯子,甚至可以使用沉重的棉被来抑制通过房屋场景听到的一些回声/混响。总体而言,显然为Bill Moseley的细分市场节省了最大的努力。正是在那一刻,我们看到了导演Topher Chambers的大部分创造力,这就是为什么这部电影即使在7点也令人沮丧的原因。由于这部电影仅列出了Chambers作为导演,因此观众期望在制作过程中会有更多的凝聚力。无论是相机移动还是图像图案,甚至只是专注于演员,每个短片都感觉到它是通过完全不同的生产来完成的,尤其是与Bill Moseley的包裹相比。尽管如此,这仍然是Topher Chambers和Rutledge作品的略有改进,这是黑皮书(由多个作品创造的)选集,这最终就是为什么它值得获得7的原因。看到艺术家成长总是令人鼓舞。

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Paul McCartney was in New York City on an airport runway waiting to fly to Britain. As he absorbed the news of the unfolding tragedy, he wondered, “What can I do?” The answer, of course, lay in music. McCartney reached out to master documentarian and long-time friend Albert Maysles, inviting Maysles to document his personal experiences on 16mm black and white film, a format seldom used in the digital age but of proven endurance and artistic quality. Over several weeks in October 2001, Maysles’ camera followed McCartney as he prepared for The Concert for New York City, a benefit he helped organize to uplift New York City during this period of uncertainty and vulnerability. The footage went unseen for years, requiring the passage of time to be put in perspective. Now, ten years later, Maysles, his directing partner Bradley Kaplan and editor Ian Markiewicz have emerged with an intimate work that explores the role of art and artists in a time of crisis.

When song-and-dance man Harry Van returns from World War I, he finds work hard to come by. His greatest success comes as straight man in a phony vaudeville mind-reading act with the tipsy Madame Zulieka. While on tour in Omaha he meets acrobat Irene Fellara, and they have a brief romance. Twenty years later while Harry is on tour in Europe with a troupe of leggy blonde dancers, his train is stopped at the Swiss border and he finds himself stranded in the Alps in anticipation of World War II hostilities. Harry and his chorines take refuge in an Alpine hotel with a group of disparate travelers who are also marooned there. Among them are an American pacifist, British newlyweds, a cancer researcher, a German munitions manufacturer, and a beautiful blonde expatriate Russian aristocrat who looks suspiciously like the Irene of two decades earlier.
