Machinarium Flash Game
Machinarium - a flash game currently developed by Amanita Design. Coming 2008!
A few years ago, Jakub Dvorsky released his first hit game called Samorost. Soon after that Samorost 2 was released under the umbrella of Amanita Design. Both games enjoyes tremendous success among keen online players as it brought a fresh concept and true artistic value to the online gaming scene. Jakub follows the European animation school style which has spread all over the world thanks to the Internet. Many of us from Europe had a chance to enjoy numerous cartoons and animation by some of the greatest and most original authors of the 80's and 90's - now the whole world is able to appreciate this unique strand of animation art form.
We all expect Machinarium to be a pinnacle of Jaukub's creative work. Follow the links for more information on Samorost 1 and Samorost 2

Harvey Milk DVD
The Past Harvey Milk Feature
 The release of the Harvey Milk DVD is the culmination of a long cinematic journey. The film features Sean Penn in the role of the famous gay activist and the film covers the life story of this man in depth. What many people do not know about this project is that is has taken many years to reach production. The film entered development many years ago and was originally to be a project directed by Oliver Stone. The lead role of Harvey Milk was to be played by Robin Williams in a rare dramatic role. (Such a performance would have made for a much different Harvey Milk DVD) Things being what they are, the film project was never made and it languished in development for years. Of course, the film has been made and it is available for viewing on home DVD release. What would the film have looked like if Oliver Stone and Robin Williams actually did produce their version? It is difficult to speculate on what the finished project would have been like. Surely it would have followed similar Oliver Stone conventions although he did tone down a lot of his over the top editing over the years. But, once again, speculating about a movie that was never made is exactly that – speculation. And it is also unnecessary since we do have a finished product in the form of an academy award winning product. You can check it out by purchasing or renting the Milk DVD.
Seven Pounds On DVD
 Mysterious, moving and intricately structured, Will Smith's "Seven Pounds" is now out on DVD. The plot of "Seven Pounds" is deliberately obscure to preserve the mystery; suffice to say it is the story of one man's quest for repentance and fulfillment through relationships with others. But the relationships are not easily understood and what Smith's character is setting out to do does not become clear until well into the movie. Hints are dropped, connections are forged, images emerge, and gradually the answers do appear. Audiences will appreciate the suspense but may feel uneasy when they solve the puzzle because while the hero's purpose is generous and compassionate his methods are hard-edged and morally gray; viewers may find it incredulous. Smith, as always, is easy to watch and his co-star Rosario Dawson luminescent. To tweak your curiosity, know that animals like dogs and jellyfish play important supporting roles. Actors Woody Harrelson, Barry Pepper and Michael Ealy turn in solid performances. With "Seven Pounds" Director Gabriel Muccino has crafted a clever and rhythmic film of poignant contrasts and discoveries. The DVD is packed with features.
