30-Second Bunnies Theatre

While each of these flash animated movie recaps is pretty funny, it would have been nice if Netflix had packaged them in blocks instead of making me download each short as a separate episode. That got old real quick...

(500) Days of Summer

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of my top four favorite actors. And I'm so glad I was able to watch him in this rather than that revamp of an 80s cartoon. This was a sweet, charming, funny and beautiful movie. Less a love story than about trying to understand and cope with love. Really brilliant all around...

Sunday Trade: Sparks


Sparks: An urban fairy tale by Lawrence Marvit

Jo is a lonely auto mechanic. She lives at home with her drunken cop father and zoned out mother. And one day she builds..well not a robot. More the shell of one. And that night a lightning strike brings him to life. Jo eventually names him Galahad and he becomes her closest friend. Even as she struggles to fit in and make friends with other people. But even an artificial man can love...

Or its the story of a beautiful princess trapped by a wicked king and the brave knight who will do anything to save her...

Or maybe both...
