Video of the Week: Something’s Gotta Give
This is one of my favorite “Man from U.N.C.L.E.” music videos. The tune is snappy, the editing is crisp, the choice of clips is a delight and it has that rewatchability factor in spades. Best of all, this video never fails to make me smile.
1,001 Movies – Week 8
“American Psycho” to “Andrei Rublev”
Week 6
I’m catching up! This is the first list where I’ve seen all five movies, great choices. One of the interesting things about Alphaville is that there were no sets–it was all filmed in existing 1965 Paris locations, particularly La Defense if I remember correctly. So the recognizable somehow becomes alien noir. I should try to find it, it’s been years since I saw it.
Video of the Week: Wanted: Dead or Alive
There aren’t a lot of fan music videos for “Alias Smith and Jones” but of the ones that are out there this is my favorite. It’s a great choice of song, some really nifty transitions and a nice selection of clips from the show.

“Amadeus” to “An American in Paris”
Video of the Week: An Awful Lot of Running
I’m sure you’ll agree this is a brilliant video to an equally brilliant song. Nuff Said
1,001 Movies – Week 6
“All About Eve” to “Alphaville”
Video of the Week: The War Games
This is a jolly good promo for the 10-part epic “Doctor Who” story “The War Games”. It not only marked the end of the journey for the Second Doctor, Jamie and Zoe but for the first time viewers got to learn a little bit about the Doctor – the name of his planet, his race and so many other interesting tidbits.
What strikes me best about this trailer is how cool it all looks. I mean, I’ve watched this ten-parter more than once and there’s a lot of dull in the midst of all that historic goings ons. Still, the trailer for the upcoming DVD release is a very cool ride.
