Ghost in the Shell - Project 2501

Here is a very interesting project from Ash Thorp. He and his team created a very special photo series as a homage to Ghost in the Shell. They recreated the legendary "Making of a Cyborg" scene from shot to shot, the results are really amazing.

Here is a short making of video:

Fargo on TV

I'm big fan of the Coen brothers, I think they make exceptional movies, certainly not for everyone, but perfect for me. When I first heard that they want to make a TV Series from their movie Fargo I was sceptical, mostly these feature to TV conversations turn out the be lousy aftertastes, but after checking out the numerous trailers and teasers for the show I have to say I'm interested. There is a great cast (Martin Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton, Colin Hanks and Bob Odenkirk just to name a few) and a genuine atmosphere. In less then two weeks we will see if it was worth the wait.

True Detective Opening Scene

Last year I've started to post interesting opening credits from tv shows but to be honest there aren't that many really good ones out there so it's always a pleasure to see a new tv series with a great opening. True Detective premiered on a few days ago on HBO and though the show itself is pretty good it's opening is a masterpiece, beautiful colors, great compositions, simple yet effecting, check it out:

Best Animated Series - Part 1.

This time I've made a little collection of the Best Animated Series. Mind you I don't know them all, I just picked from the ones I like and respect.

Adventure Time. This is a new series but it's one the most creative and fun I've ever seen. It's more for adults  than kids, but can be enjoyed by everyone with some intelligence. The style of the animation fits the themes perfectly, childish but stylish. Enjoy.

Ed, Edd & Eddy. This was on Cartoon Network when I was really young and I loved it from the first episode I've seen. The ever twitching fashion of the characters, the realistic adventures and small town locations were all lovable and engaging. Sorry for the quality.

Johnny Bravo premiered around the same time South Park did, it was a bit controversial in it's time, but nothing too over the top, he was just a lovable character who lived in his own world, with his own value system which made a great and fun show.

Hemlock Grove Werewolf Transformation

Hemlock Grove is the new series produced by Netflix, which means it won't air week after week, but the whole series is going to be released on April the 19th. It's going to be a show about werewolves, personally I'm not a big fan of them but this transformation scene is quite brave and interesting looking. It's cgi though, so it will never look as cool as it did in the American Werewolf in London, but at least they are trying something new. I also like the fact that the guy transforms into a real looking wolf, not some kind of weird / funny trans-human-wolf character. Enjoy!

Evil Dead Remake Trailer

Now here is something you don't see very often, a horror movie trailer, which is scary in itself. It's been a long time ago since the last movie from the Evil Dead franchise came out, and watching this trailer you realize that other than the plot and the location, the whole atmosphere is very different. The original films were scary, but in a fun way, always lightening you up with a few jokes in between two mutilations. This it's they are not fucking around and while Sam Riami, the director of the originals is the producer, he let Fede Avarez (the new director) take the franchise to a different direction. I loved the old movies and I love the fact that they reinvented the series instead of copying the originals.

Hold on, here it goes:
