Video Found: Daniel Radcliffe, Played by Harry Potter
I stole this from Tobias Buckell, but I thought all of you should see it, because it’s bloody hilarious. It’s Daniel Radcliffe…er…I mean Harry Potter explaining who he really is. By that I mean… Oh screw it. Just watch (after the fold): I Am Harry Potter from Daniel Radcliffe And you thought the Harry Potter franchise couldn’t get any better…
Video Found: Exodus (Short Film)
Alexander Lehmann, who worked as a digital artist on District 9, has released a high-octane science fiction short film called “Exodus.” It features some amazing visuals, a fascinating concept, and a very unique musical score that also doubles as a sound effects track–think of Disney’s Fantasia, but in the age of D&B, techno, and other electronic music forms. If I had some sort of ridiculous star system, but for Awesome Points instead of stars, I’d give this four and a half Awesome Points. But I don’t have such a system, so you’ll have to deal with me simply stating that this video is frakking awesome. Here it is (after the fold): EXODUS – Noisia & Mayhem ft. KRS One (Official Video) from Noisia Official on Vimeo. I told you it was awesome, didn’t I?

YouTube is both the best and worst thing ever invented. There are days when I’m on there and I think to myself, “this is the land of degenerate people with nothing better to do than spout crazy nonsense in grammatically incorrect English and caps.” And then there are days when I see the following video and am reminded that without YouTube, I would never see this. So, thank you YouTube. Once in a while your greatness outweighs your inability to control trolls. Here’s the video (after the fold):
Video Found: Priest (Trailer)
The trailer below is by far one of the coolest movie trailers I’ve seen this year. My only hope is that the movie lives up to the trailer, because I think it’s about time we got an awesome futuristic vampire film! What is Priest about? PRIEST, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller, is set in an alternate world — one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest (Paul Bettany) from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece (Lily Collins) is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on a quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess (Maggie Q) who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.

Video Found: Let Me In (Film Trailer)
I have my reservations about Let Me In, the American remake of the amazing Swedish film Let the Right One In. Most of that has to do with my general disinterest in Hollywood’s remake industry, which tries to re-apply every foreign film to the American market, often poorly. I also have problems with the fact that the original Swedish film is barely two years old; it seems too soon to start remaking things. But the trailer below does look fantastic. Whether it will be a good movie is hard to say, but it does seem like they’ve worked hard to maintain the atmosphere. Maybe this will be one of those good remakes. Who knows? Here’s the trailer (below the fold):
Video Found: Nosso Lar: The Astral City (Film Trailer)
I’m not sure how to describe this movie. It’s a Brazilian film coming in September of this year that looks beautiful, seems to have a wonderful, heartwarming story, and a lot of deep questions about the human condition. And…it’s fantasy (plus an adaptation of this). It looks amazing and I can’t wait to see it. See the trailer here (after the fold): Thanks to SF Signal for the discovery!
