“We are the Cheese & Burger Society. We believe that cheese is the Grand Poo-bah of every cheeseburger…”
Okay okay, I know this is advertising and all, but it’s brilliantly done, and it has to do with burgers, which makes it kind of okay for a man to just give in and be a victim in…
Mary and Max
From the pretty unknown writer/director Adam Elliot comes a claymatic movie telling the tale of friendship between two unlikely pen pals: Mary, a lonely, eight-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max, a forty-four-year old, severely obese man living in New York.
Funny, great looking and a shitload of appraisal from festivals. Might not…

Wes Anderson’s first animated film, using classic handmade stop motion techniques to tell the story of the children’s book by Roald Dahl, who’s probably more know for “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “James and the Giant Peach”.

Havin’ enjoyed the OFFF Festival last year, I was looking forward to going back to OFFF 2009. One of the speakers at the festival this year was Adam Pesapane, who’s simply know as PES.
