The Devils Double Trailer

Based on a gripping, unbelievable true story of money, power and opulent decadence, Lionsgate's THE DEVIL'S DOUBLE takes a white-knuckle ride deep into the lawless playground of excess and violence known as Bagdad, 1987. Summoned from the frontline to Saddam Hussein's palace, Iraqi army lieutenant Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper) is thrust into the highest echelons of the "royal family" when he's ordered to become the 'fiday' -- or body double -- to Saddam's son, the notorious "Black Prince" Uday Hussein (also Dominic Cooper), a reckless, sadistic party-boy with a rabid hunger for sex and brutality. With his and his family's lives at stake, Latif must surrender his former self forever as he learns to walk, talk and act like Uday.

Samurai Girl Double cut

Great video showing this girl swordswoman cutting the rolled mat twice very quickly. Hard to do for sure as the second cut has to be made very quickly and cleanly since the mat is no longer attached at the bottom. I love her expression at the end. Recognize it? "Yatta!" which means I did it. Just like Chun Li...

Tilt Shift Video: Darkened Streets of Tokyo

Mesmerizing tilt-shift video showing before and after shots of Tokyo at night. Before the earthquake with every single building and street lit up like Christmas. After the quake, the streets and buildings are darker to conserve energy.

I was talking to a colleague who has their headquarters in Japan about all this and he thinks the earthquake will change the work/life balance of the Japanese forever. To save energy, the salaryman is forced to go home early. He is free from obligation to stay later than everyone else. As a result, he goes home and spends more time with his family. This trend will continue perhaps permanently. What do you think?

GoPro HD Helmet CAM: Avalanche Cliff Jump...Nuts...!

This vid starts off as a whatever helmet cam of some dude skiing, but then he skis off a cliff which is pretty unsettling especially if you have it on full screen mode. But then you see an avalanche pouring over the same cliff. No special effects here. Mother....fucking...nature. Watch full screen in HD.

Invisible Creature "Full Circle" Show at Super 7 Re-Cap

Saturday was the Invisible Creature show as well as the debut of their very own Monster Family toy "Leroy C." Invisible Creature is a graphical design outfit headed up by brothers Don and Ryan Clark. They were nominated for 4 Grammy's for music packaging and have a uber impressive list of clients. I like their aesthetic. Simple, clean graphics, kinda retro in vibe. But the content is whimsical, odd and funny.
