Amblin’ is the first completed film shot by Steven Spielberg on 35mm. The film is a short story set during the hippy era of the late ’60s about a young couple who meet up in the desert, become friends, then lovers and make their way to a paradisiacal beach.
This documentary takes viewers along surfing’s timeline, highlighting the group of extraordinary adventurers that emerged: surfers who, not satisfied with the mere recreational and social aspects of the sport, began searching for bigger and bigger waves, pushing the boundaries of performance to explore the "unridden realm."

His wife kidnapped by a megalomaniacal communist dictator, Shin Sang-ok is forced to make films to satisfy his new master’s evil whim! But that’s not even the plot of this film… just the true story of how it was made:
"Kim Jong-il later confessed to me that the reason he kidnapped my wife first was because he wanted me to come and make films for him," Shin Sang-ok said. Kim Jong-il is film mad. Soon after the couple arrived in Pyongyang he took them for a private tour of his film library, which holds more than 15,000 movies. Keen to add to them, he placed $2.5m into an Austrian bank account and told Mr Shin that the money would be available for him to make "good" films. Read Full Story here via BBC
Don’t forget to rate Pulgasari on Criticker after watching the full length online video.
Feel like watching the whole movie right now? Well, you can, if you are located in the US! Jackass 2.5 is the first movie to premiere first online, and you can watch the whole thing from 12/19 until 12/31! Since I’m not fortunate enough to live in the states, I can’t say whether or not the film is any good… But if you live outside of the US and have discovered a way to watch it, please leave a comment.
I didn’t quite buy this film when it came out. Honestly, who really thinks that fast food is healthy and should be eaten every single day? If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s your chance to see the whole thing for free:

“Super Size Me” is one man’s journey into the world of weight gain, health problems and fast food. It’s an examination of the American way of life and how we are eating ourselves to death. Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a ’McDonald’s only’ diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death.
