Monsters

My review of Monsters is now up over at Commentarium. Please go read it, and watch the movie if you get the chance – it is possibly the most remarkable movie of the year, and one of the best movies I have ever seen. Seriously. It represents everything I aspire …

Reviews, reviews, reviews. And a bug.

As promised, we are regularly updating Commentarium. There are now reviews of Solomon Kane, The Disappearance of Alice Creed, Rushmore and Timer. Read them, and spread the love. Still working on The Infinite Ocean. After encountering a massive and massively stupid bug in Multimedia Fusion and figuring out a way …

Commentarium Strikes Back

Commentarium, our film review website, is back! And this time it’s staying. Expect one update per day – sometimes it will be just a small thought or discussion topic or link, other times it will be long and detailed reviews or articles. It shall be fun! So what are we …

Yes?

I’m still here. Working very hard on creative things and being entirely too obsessive. Will be able to reveal more soon, I hope. Financially everything is still shit, so any donations (even if only of a few dollars) are greatly appreciated. But creatively things are mostly good. Rejections for short …

Parallel Lines: Echoes and Awakening

Our two short films for the Parallel Lines competition are up. (Both have the same dialogue, because that’s the point of the competition.) The first one is a question. The second one is an answer, but not necessarily to the same question. There are connections. Please watch them, like them, …

exhaustion

Finished filming another short; also edited the previous one. Results are looking good. More editing tomorrow. Lack of sleep is evident in short sentences. Cat is making typing difficult by headbutting me.

Linkies!

Gnome’s Lair has published a really nice review of Phenomenon 32: Phenomenon 32, being Kyratzes’ most ambitious project so far, is much more than the sum of its parts. Besides the beautiful black and white visuals, its atmospheric soundscape and a deeply depressing and simultaneously surreal game world, Phenomenon 32 …

Art Without Teeth

One of the biggest problems art is facing today is the definition of art in people’s minds. Too many people have been misled into believing that truly good art must consist of ambiguous abstractions that are somehow “timeless” – that art must be exclusively introspective, lacking context, and dedicated solely …

On the subject of video game movies

Things have been a little quiet at Commentarium recently, mostly because we’ve been very busy working. I know some people are still waiting for my long-delayed (and very long) Avatar article, though right now I’m considering waiting until the re-release in August. We’ll see. It’s still very important to me. …
