Social Media Sobriety Test – Not a Joke!
The product is called ‘The Social Media Sobriety Test’. I had to watch this commercial several times to realize it is a real product. Still not sure, but here you go… knock yourself out. It keeps you off FB, etc, when you are so far out of it that you might be an embarrassment to […]

Read PostNowhere Boy: John Lennon Story
Here’s a new film, Nowhere Boy, about John Lennon’s early life pre-Beatles. Looks like a winner. Shot in Liverpool, the film stars Aaron Johnson as Lennon and Krstin Scott Thomas. For those looking for a full on Beatles story, you’re not going to find it here.
Read PostProcrastination – Fine Piece of Animation

Read PostBurger King, what were you thinking? It’s horrible, it’s terrible, it STINKS.
The new Burger King ‘Breakfast March’ campaign is perhaps the worst commercials/campaigns I have ever seen. It’s surely an odds on favorite for worst campaign of the decade and the decade has just begun. I would gladly pay money to the investment bank that just bought Burger King to NOT run this commercial. Really, it’s […]
Read PostPUMA Ad – After Hours
Great Puma Ad – After Hours. Here’s a beautifully shot and scripted commercial that dares to break the patterns created by other sneaker ads. It could carve a fine little niche for the sneakers if the positioning works. The commercials’ words are elegant and lyrical, yet the voice feels like it’s coming out of a […]

It fully conveys its story and tugs at the heartstrings. The direction is seamless and the composure is clean, it really is a well-executed production. It works for a variety of […]
Read PostRed: Short and Sweet Celebs
Here’s a great, simple spot that was, no doubt, far from simple to make. It’s for Red and Starbucks UK, showing that Starbucks supports Red and its quest to wipe out AIDS in countries around the world. What’s nice is that the celebs flash by on screen so quickly that it’s hard to keep up. […]
Read PostStones In Exile – Rolling Stones Documentary
Here’s a trailer for the Rolling Stones documentary, Stones in Exile, about the making of their record Exile on Main Street, recorded in France in 1972. The film highlights the heyday of the Stones creatively, and explores the band in action, in exile. Not much to object to here with great interviews with the Stones, […]

The graduation speaker is usually a horrible sweaty piece of the ceremony we must endure to get to the meal at the end of the ceremony. But once in a while you get a great, inspired speaker, with […]
