WHAT: Zamane Ko Dikhana Hai [imdb; wikipedia]

WHERE: Geeta Dayal's blog via Daily Swarm site

WHY (do I want to see this):
I love to see American culture interpreted through international eyes. This unabashed ode to Saturday Night Fever (at least, I think it is) seems like pure fun.

No Humongous, but plenty of bikes

WHAT: Stone [imdb]

WHERE: WFMU's Beware of the Blog

WHY (do I want to see this):

If you love Mad Max or Road Warrior (and, no, we don't need another hero), you should want to see this. A "timeless Australian cult film about a bunch of renegades riding Kawasaki 900s." And I love the font on the poster!

CLIP:

A true horror movie

WHAT: The Effects of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

WHERE: VBS.TV (Vice magazine) blog

WHY (do I want to see this):
The fact that a Japanese cameraman was filming almost immediately after the nuclear bombings attests to the power of film. This is also a part of the history of WWII that is rarely mentioned and even less often shown.

CLIP:

Will they do a US remake and ruin it?

WHAT: Who Killed Captain Alex? [official website]

WHERE: VBS.TV (Vice magazine) blog

WHY (do I want to see this):
The special effects. The sped-up dialogue in the trailer. C'mon -- it's Uganda's first action movie!

CLIP:

Good morning, penis

WHAT: Goodnight Vagina [imdb; allmovie]

WHERE: Skull Swap blog

WHY (do I want to see this):
Great cast -- Gary Cole, Cheryl Hines and Magda Szubanski (loved her as Sharon in "Kath and Kim"). It's short. The subject matter is, ah, interesting. And, really, with that title, why not?
