Here’s Part 2 of The Prince of Egypt. I can’t imagine what American’s would do if our leader pranced around in that outfit… I just love the shots of the Egyptians as the Israelites are leaving… they are SO despondent. But, I can understand! I mean, I know what it’s like when the intern leaves [...]

When I started this little project, I thought, “Oh, this is going to be so much fun because I just LOVE Woody Allen, and I LOVE Borderline…” But, what I failed to recognize is that Borderline’s I’m-so-crazy-I-can-even-put-it-into-a-cute-bubble-gum-pop-song doesn’t really mesh well with Woody Allen’s I’m-so-crazy-and-I-mean-SO-CRAZY-that-you’re-going-to-want-to-kill-me-in-the-end… Not to mention the caliber of Woody Allen’s writing (note [...]

In the ’09, I’ve attended my first Seder and my first Bar Mitzvah… so, I thought it only appropriate to memorialize these Jewish moments with a musical movie video of Prince of Egypt – the first cartoon produced by Dreamworks SKG (after Jeff Katzenberg exodused out of Disney) about the exodus from Egypt. That being [...]

Hall & Oates’ #1 hit Maneater seemed to be a great backdrop for the inimitable Melanie Daniels as she inadvertently destroys the entire town of Bodega Bay chasing after booty call Mitch. Movie: The Birds (1963) — Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, Suzanne Pleshette, Jessica Tandy Music — Maneater — Hall & Oates

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a sad play. Maggie the Cat can’t seduce her gay husband, and the one man who does lust after her is almost dead (and like 47 years older than her). She tries so hard, and luckily for us, that means an infinite amount of dramatic looks, screams, and [...]

Bananas is Woody Allen at his comedic best and his film-making worst… so, you get what you pay for. :) It was a fun video to edit, and I chose Zombie based on Jack’s recommendation. We both agreed that since editing videos requires more than one listening of the song, no U2 songs were allowed… [...]

This one isn’t funny or clever — it’s just sad. The Hours is hyper-dramatic, and pretty much nothing happens in the entire film except that three women get depressed and suicidal because they’re stuck in their lives. So… it’s Radiohead’s Exit Music for a Film. Movie: The Hours (2002) — Directed by Stephen Daldry; Starring [...]

Cathy so wants to believe that there is “life after love.” But she obviously hasn’t loved in Hartford > cause after her gay husband leaves her for the pool boy, she’s getting dumped by the black All-State man/Gardner — because blacks and whites can’t date in Hartford. Somebody tell Cher. Movie: Far from Heaven (2002) [...]

I loved Britney Spears’ Womanizer, and it was a fairly direct line to figure out what movie it should be paired with. Gosford Park is one of my favorite films, and it’s all about a great big womanizer — well, several of them actually. Movie: Gosford Park (2001) — Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Kristin Scott [...]
