I stretched out the classic, early synth track ‘Popcorn’ and cut together corn popping in super slow-mo. I want to say that there is a reason behind all of this (I got nothing). Enjoy!
-RC- New Album VESTIGE Available Now
So I took the liberty of putting releasing some of my work via bandcamp. Little ambient/drone record. Name your price. Enjoy!
a few pieces by Polish-born American artist Adam Niklewicz who re-imagines everyday objects and materials in a new light.
Niklewicz stands back and assumes a detached view of the objects attempting to discover new and secret aspects of reality by making obvious things odd and finding playful qualities along with clear and palpable symbolism. Such contemplative detachment translates into absurd situations suspended of practicality but with healthy dose of irony and humor
Long time, no see. Please take a look at my newest supercut featuring the works of Spike Lee. Let me know what you think. If you like it, feel free to share it with others.
-RC- The Divide (2011)
The only thing noteworthy about The Divide is how improbable it is. The level of depravity that these characters reach (I use the term “character” loosely) being stuck in a bomb shelter could only be the work of a filmmaker’s shoddy attempt at provocation. Michael Eklund sure looks like a disgusting individual, but he’s a standout as he dials it up to 11 with Bobby and I hope to see him put to better use in the future. On the other hand, Milo Ventimiglia’s Josh has one of the most random downgrades to psychopath I’ve ever seen. His mental health instantly deteriorates from one scene to the next. I could go on about each character and their choices, but then I would have put more effort into this than the actual filmmakers. The Divide could have been something special like The Mist, but things get deranged-for-the-sake-of-it so fast that you feel nothing but boredom.
Rear Window Timelapse
Pretty nifty installation by visual artist Jeff Desom using footage from Albert Hitchcock’s 1954 classic Rear Window.
via Jeff Desom:
I dissected all of Hitchcock’s Rear Window and stiched it back together in After Effects. I stabilized all the shots with camera movement in them. Since everything was filmed from pretty much the same angle I was able to match them into a single panoramic view of the entire backyard without any greater distortions. The order of events stays true to the movie’s plot.-RC
AKIRA Fan-made Teaser.
Oh, right. Because we needed a reminder that no one ‘gets it’.All the resources these aspiring filmmakers have, being wasted on established intellectual properties instead of original ideas. For shame.
Color me unsettled.
“A Tight Control of Mood and Style” (Film Comment), Michael, a drama focused on five months in the life of pedophile who keeps a 10-year-old boy locked in his basement. Director Markus Schleinzer reveals a tense portrait of how seemingly mundane lives can hide the darkest secrets…
Jeffrey Jones for the U.S. remake, anyone?

I am embarrassed to say that up until the announcement of Cinefamily’s upcoming retrospective on Andrzej Zulawski, I was not familiar with the man’s work. Shame on me.
I will be making it a top priority to seek out his films, especially the much talked about Possession with Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill (trailer embedded above).
If you’re lucky enough to live in or near L.A., you can check out the Zulawski retrospective starting on March 1st.
