Quoted "Don Hertzfeldt (born August 1, 1976) is the creator of many short animated films. These films typically feature hand-drawn stick figures acting out dadaist combinations of slapstick, absurd, and black humor along with heavier existential themes. Hertzfeldt creates his films with traditional pen and paper animation, without the aid of computers."

Just read that Nigerian cinema is the 3rd fastest growing in the world. First being the U.S., second being India. Interesting.

Quoted: Many foreign and local critics have criticized Nollywood for trite plots, poor dialogue, terrible sound, and poor production values. Some worry that the prevalence of witchcraft and violence in the movies may encourage the worst stereotypes about Africans. Yet in just 13 years, Nollywood has grown from nothing into a US$250 million-a-year industry that employs thousands of people. The Nollywood phenomenon was made possible by two main ingredients: Nigerian entrepreneurship and digital technology.

This is a great article!

Quoted: Nicholas Rucka provides a fascinating history of Japanese horror, from Ugetsu and Hokusai to The Ring / Ringu and The Grudge / Juon, and finds cause to worry for its future.

Quoted: In a nutshell, the roots of J-horror twine through the 2,000-year history of Japanese culture and traditions.

An offbeat blog about movies. I've only read a few entries so far, but it looks alright. They seem to state what they like or dislike w/o much explanation... but that may be just the entries I've read.

Dreamworks paid $2 million, just for the rights to remake this film. Apparently it's just about to go into production... I wonder who's going to be in it...

Quoted: How Asian horror films put the fear back into America’s scary movies — and brought the A list to a B genre.

Quoted: With the end of the civil war in 1949, Shanghai filmmakers sympathetic to the Nationalists accompanied Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan, and after the economy stabilized, these exiled filmmakers formed the heart of a new film community in Taiwan in the 1950s.
