Typophile Film Festival 5: Opening Titles
If eyes are meant for seeing
then beauty is its own excuse for being.
“Visual typographic feast about the 5 senses, and the way they contribute to enhance our creativity.”
Made by BYU design students for the 5th Typophile Film Festival. Creative director: Brent Barson. Everything in the film is real: no digital visual effects.

The Lovely Bones Trailer
I wasn’t a big fan of Lord of the Rings, probably get burnt at the stake for saying that online but it is true. But I have always been a fan of Peter Jackson and I can’t help getting excited about his new film.

Right Minded Opera
Two new movies from Leonardo Dalessandri. Well, not so new, but I’ve been away for a while, so they’re new to me…
Nabucco (Featurette): it must have been great to be there.
I benpensanti (Trailer): it must have been fun to be there.
Previously: Siempre me quedara, also in my Best of 2008.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – Trailer 2
Synecdoche, New York trailer
Directed by Charlie Kaufman. Enough said.
In Search of a Midnight Kiss
Starts off pretty sappy but it grew on me. I am intrigued.
Sockbaby
I wish all action movie trailers were this much fun. And have you ever seen a trailer to have sequels, well this one does.
Bourne 007
The new trailer for the upcoming James Bond film staring Mr. Two-First-names Daniel Craig seems like an sequel to the Bourne trilogy which, by the way, was blatant rip-off of the 007 series. Some call this regurgitation, I call it a good ol’ 69.
Watch it (Thanks Mags)
Bigger, Stronger, Faster
What a trailer! Interesting to see them connect the micro of steroids with the macro of American politics and outlook.
