More trailers, again...

24 was one of the first tv shows that changed my mind about TV in general, it was fast, bold, brutal and very entertaining, I loved all the way through and I never cared about the over the top action scenes or the main character's immortality, 24 is not about accuracy, it's about fun. Many years after the final episode in just a few weeks we get a special 12 episode season called Live Another Day - which really sounds like a title for a Bond movie - and it looks like Jack Bauer is going to kick ass again!

The second trailer for today is from Hercules which is looking a lot better than the other Hercules movie just a few months ago. The movie was shot here in Hungary and I had the chance to have a walk among the sets after the shooting, it looked cool there and it looks cool in the trailer too.

More Trailers for March

Here are a few more new trailers, check them out:

Firstly we have The Signal, a new sci-fi flick starring Laurence Fishburne and it looks interesting, let's hope it'll stay that way:

Next is The Giver which looks like another entry in the "kid heroes" category which is a trend that should die, but at least there great adult actors in it as well like Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Alexander Skarsgard - I just hope they have more screen time than the teenagers:

Lastly here is a teaser trailer for the Peanuts movie. As a kid I loved the comics about Snoopy and Charlie Brown, they had a strange atmosphere to them. The teaser looks interesting, it's 3D, but not your traditional one - let's see how it works for an hour and a half.

The Maze Runner

Here is a trailer for an interesting looking movie: The Maze Runner. One of my first great film experiences was the movie Labyrinth and ever since that I have a soft spot for puzzle based movies. The first Cube movie was great, but it's not a very popular theme among filmmakers. Now here is this quite good looking little trailer, this even might be a decent movie... I just had enough with kids saving the world. Anyways, check it out:

Turn Down for What - Music Video

Wow, and I thought the Big Bad Wolf video was strong and then comes this. Turn Down for What from Lil John & Dj Snake. Hold on to something...

Work in Progress Illustrations

Ricardo Solis is a Mexican artist creating these interesting images. From far they look like normal paintings but from up close you can see little people working on the picture Gulliver style. Great idea, good execution.

My New Portfolio is Online

It's been many years since I had my own online portfolio, it just didn't seem like I need it, but last year I started to work on a new one. The design has been changed a few times and I'm still tweaking it here and there, but the biggest issue is to find all my old graphics, videos, animations, etc. - there is a lot. Now still a lot of my works are missing but it's enough to put the site online. Slowly I will add more and more stuff to it.

Side Scrolling on the Streets

Christian Åslund is a Stockholm-based photographer who turned the streets of Tokyo into side scrolling games screens. Great tribute to retro video games.

Supermoine Holypop

Wow, so much energy in such a short animation, the sheer craziness is just soaking through the screen while you watch this little... I don't even exactly know what this is, but it's fun indeed, check it out:

Simon Stålenhag's Digital Paintings

Check out these great looking and atmospheric digital paintings from Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag. Every image is calm and peaceful in a way, showing landscapes, cityscapes with people and vehicles. But then there are the scifi themed parts, a robot here and there, a part of some kind of machine. These elements never overshadow the main panting, they give a strange scifi feel to them without being a cliché. Great stuff, check it out.
