Movie Trailer: Green Zone

<a href="http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-GB&#038;from=sp&#038;vid=503152ef-8135-4724-b41a-e7a697035c6c" target="_new" title="EXCLUSIVE: Green Zone - Trailer">Video: EXCLUSIVE: Green Zone &#8211; Trailer</a>

Here’s the new trailer for Green Zone, the forthcoming Paul Greengrass thriller set during the Iraq war before the infamous troop ‘surge’.

The film stars Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear, and is named for – and based within – a small, insulated pocket of Baghdad, a supposed oasis of calm in a country otherwise engulfed in chaos.

With Bourne Supremacy/Ultimatum director Greengrass at the helm, double-dealing and political intrigue is a given, with a healthy dose of heavy ordinance, gun battling and skin-of-the-teeth death defiance thrown in for good measure.

Video Spotlight: Stop Motion Flintstones

This exceptionally-crafted piece of stop motion animation, made as part of a feature-length episode of classic Hanna-Barbera favourite The Flintstones, sees Fred indulge in a Lebowski-esque flight of fancy.

The clip was made for a Cartoon Network special entitled “Flintstones: On the Rocks” in 2001. The company responsible is LA-based animation specialists Screen Novelties.

Film Poster: Sherlock Holmes


A new poster for Guy Ritchie‘s forthcoming Sherlock Holmes has just been released, giving us tantalising look at what to expect when it comes out on Christmas Day.

The film stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, but what I want to see more than anything else is for Mark Strong – who plays the film’s main baddie – to finally get the chance to show his centre-stage potential. This film has the potential to be great, if only Ritchie can resist the pointless moments of self-congratulation that have spoiled recent efforts such as RocknRolla

Silent Film: Drunkest Guy Ever

CCTV footage of some drunken guy staggering around a supermarket and causing chaos, set to the music (and style) of a black and white silent film. Not sure if the original is genuine footage or a set-up, but it’s funny either way.

Find your new favourite band with Music-Map


More often than not, the success of a website will hinge on its apparent simplicity, no matter how complex the engine that drives it.

Case in point, the frankly incredible Music-Map, a website which will take a band or musical artist and return a cloud of associated and similar acts. From there, you can either start over with a new band, or click on one of the orbiting options in order to follow the links between, say, Bob Marley and Mindless Self Indulgence.

Created as part of the Gnod artificial intelligence project by Marek Gibney, the system has already been adapted to map films, books and even people.

Games: Avoider


There’s a strange man wearing an orange snuggy, and he wants your mouse pointer. Who is he? What drives him to do the things he does? It’s rumoured that if you can keep your mouse pointer safe for more than three hours, everything will become clear.

Avoid doing important things today, and give Avoider a spin.
