A Film I saw a Few Days Ago

Posted in Artful Videos or Video Art on September 27th, 2007

This film to me reminded me exactly of Metropolis in its integrity. It starts out in a futuristic version of Paris in 2064. Also the film technique in this movie is very avant-guard. The combination of CGI with black and white film noir make this film a fun one to watch. This movie never hit the movie theatres out in the US, so it is a bit harder to find, but applies the latest video technology has to offer. Starring Daniel Craig (the latest James Bond) and a few other well-known British actresses, this one is worth watching. Plus the twists in the movie should add a little more suspense to the plot, so not too much thinking involved. Enjoy and I love to hear your comments about this one if you go out and rent it.

Holy Diver!!!

Okay, Okay, I know this is pretty funny because it is Dio, but you have to ask yourself, video art or artful video? The song itself shows Dio going around cutting people with his sword, a kind of epic heavy metal video of the 80’s, with the bad hair included. Supposidely the cover was controversial to this hit song’s album, depicting a monster killing what appears to be a Catholic priest. Yet could this music video be part of video art as well if we look past the music and try to understand what is really going on?
