Was watching the first 9 episodes of Arrested Development yesterday and the whole time I was convinced that Michael Bluth (the main character) was the same guy as Captain Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly. I ended up figuring out that’s not the case, but I still think they’re very alike.

HOME is a feature film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand that addresses our impact on the planet and sets out our current situation. It was released on June 5th, World Environment Day, in over 50 countries and on every format : movie theatre, TV, DVD and Internet.

We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth’s climate.

The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.

The movie, available on Youtube until the 14th of June, is a stunning piece of filmmaking. Shot entirely from the air (a hallmark of Yann Artus-Bertrand), it is one of the most fantastic visual feasts I’ve ever seen. With it comes a beautiful soundtrack that does an awesome job in setting the mood of the film. But HOME is not just eye candy, it will get you thinking about our relationship to the planet in ways few documentaries can. And maybe even wondering what you can do to help it.

I’ve embedded the movie below, but I highly recommend visiting the Youtube page for the HOME project and watching it in high definition. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

To celebrate its 20th birthday, Empire magazine has set up The Cryptic Canvas:

There are 50 clues to the titles of 50 great films hidden in this painting – can you spot them all? The films included all date from the last 20 years, to celebrate Empire magazine’s 20th birthday – but that’s all the help we’re going to give you. Just say what you see, and you should get the lot!

Makes a good Sunday afternoon timewaster.

A typical movie review website will tell you all kinds of details about a movie. It will describe the plot of the movie and the role of its characters. It will discuss the quality of the acting and the multitude of technical aspects involved. Some are even all about finding out all the mistakes in movies. RunPee is different.

RunPee will tell you what are the best parts to leave the movie for a few minutes, so you can run to the toilet.

And I guess this, by itself, can tell a lot about a movie…
