Week in Review

Finishing off my no good, horrible, bad week, I wanted to post several film related links I've discovered throughout the week. The first is a link to tourist video of San Francisco circa 1955. Really cool shots, music, and voice over. The next is a great movie review from the NYTimes about Liam Neeson's (Qui-Gon-Jin) new movie The Grey. I don't know why, but this movie looks fantastic. The next link is to a filmmaker's website, Benh Zeitlin. Benh just had a big debut at Sundance this week. A lot of people are praising it for its poetic sensibilities. There are a couple of his short films on the website. The next is a link to Fast Company's interview with Steven Soderbergh. Great stuff after that link.
