The LomoKino is a nifty moviemaker that lets you recreate the most memorable moments of your life scene after scene. With stills you freeze a moment in time; with 35mm movies, you can live in that analogue moment over and over again.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Vampire Academy is the brainchild of the two brothers—a screenwriter and a director—behind cult classics like Freaky Friday,Heathers, and Mean Girls, the kind of movies people obsess over forever and ever thanks to their unforgettable quoteability and totally on-point portrayals of teens.

Legos, wormholes, new superheroes and old musicals are on the movie schedule for 2014, which so far looks like a fairly entertaining grabbag. Sequels run the gamut from "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" to "Dumb and Dumber To," while a genre that seemed long dead -- think robes and sandals -- is suddenly very much alive. And speaking of throwbacks, 2014 may mark the first time in years that folks actually go to a theater to watch pornography. Here's a sample of what's ahead.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

If television is the brash younger sibling of cinema, then online web series are its screaming newborn grandchildren. As it's a medium still very much in its infancy, a whole host of questions remain unanswered. How long should an episode be? How do you keep fickle viewers coming back for more? Will they ever make any money? Until those answers are found, online filmmakers will continue to explore the possibilities of the nascent form, occasionally with wonderful results. Here are the best examples from 2013.

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

"2013 was a great, if intensely unusual, year for film performances. For our #1 and #3 performers, it was each actor’s first time playing the lead in a major film. For the two actors that share our #2 spot, it was their third time each just playing these two characters. Our #4 and #5 actors appear in supporting roles, an unusually high placement for that category of performance. Our #7 actor talks mostly to a computer, and our #6 actor says virtually nothing at all. Here are our favorite performances from a year to remember."

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Towanoquon is another entry in a increasingly popular trend in Japanese animation: take what would be a 12-13 episode anime series and turn it into six short theatrical films (45-50 minutes in length) released every month or so. The music gets a budget boost, the backgrounds get more detail, better-known voice actors are cast, and more in-betweens are put into the animation to justify the theatrical release.
