This one's pretty simple: YouTuber Jim Casey has edited together some of the coolest and most iconic slow motion shots in movies (mostly from this century). I'm glad he included some shots from Dredd in there, because while that film is beloved by a small selection of hardcore fans, it should be seen by a larger audience. Hopefully this tiny introduction will cause some more people to seek it out. For me, this video reminded me that it's time to reassess Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, which I haven't seen since it hit theaters.

There may never be a “perfect movie,” but there can be perfect moments within movies. YouTuber Jim Casey has taken the time to collect and organize some fine examples of such moments, and he’s turned them into a stirring, inspirational two-part series called “The Most Beautiful Shots In Movie History.” This is an elegant tribute to the visual power of cinema. And, make no mistake, it’s strictly the visuals that Casey is focusing on here; he includes no dialogue from the films he’s excerpting. This is, at heart, a tribute to the work of cinematographers, costume designers, and art directors, not screenwriters. Casey says he took his inspiration from this 2015 BuzzFeed article by Dan Dalton.
For its soundtrack, the first installment uses Caro Emerald’s poignant cover of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day.” The usual suspects are represented here: Akira Kurosawa, Alfred Hitchcock, Quentin Tarantino, Stanley ...

Last year, a handful of excellent documentaries exploring the lives of late artists allowed their subjects to tell their own stories through archival audio interviews. From "Amy" to "Sinatra," "Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck," "Listen to Me Marlon" and more, these docs resurrected the voices of their artists and returned the narratives of their lives back into their own hands. It's a thrilling aesthetic choice that yields intimate rewards, and now the style has been applied to the iconic Stanley Kubrick.

Here's a cool little video showing some of film's greatest shots on camera. While I think there are more than a few selections left out of the film, I can't really deny the validity of most of the shots that Jim Casey put in here! For those wishing to know the song, it's a cover of Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" performed by Caro Emerald!

Jim Casey has put together a nice little documentary on Kubrick, featuring interview clips from Jeremy Bernstein.
The narration was pulled from interviews that took place in 1966 with Jeremy Bernstein. Bernstein was writing a profile on the director and used these recordings as a chance to gather information. As it turns out the tapes themselves were a rare and incredibly interesting insight into the mind of Kubrick. Its also a glimpse at the director before his “masterpieces” such as ‘2001 : A Space Odyssey’ and ‘The Shining’ had been made.

The Overnighters, Jesse Moss's documentary feature, earned many comparisons to The Grapes Of Wrath upon release last year, and at first glance seems to merit them. Its portrait of impoverished Americans migrating to North Dakota in search of work recalls that novel and film's almost Biblical image of California as the land of milk and honey, and its central figure Jay Reinke seems cast in the part of its Christ figure Jim Casey. Reinke, however, is a far darker and more conflicted character than any of Steinbeck's migrants, and the sentences of his trials more ambiguous in their meaning.

Chase scenes have been a staple of action movies since the earliest days of cinema. As technology and stunt coordinators have evolved over the years, so have these action-packed sequences. If you’re curious and would like to see that evolution firsthand, then this new video chronicling chases from The Great Train Robbery through to modern fare like Gone in 60 Seconds will have you up to speed (pun fully intended) in no time. YouTube user Jim Casey crams all sorts of high-speed pursuit into this 1:45 video. From foot chases to the speeder bikes on Endor, he’s hit all the high notes from some of the most unforgettable sequences ever captured on film.

It has been more than four decades since Stanley Kubrick blew minds with "2001: A Space Odyssey," and the sci-fi genre has yet to deliver anything to top the sheer scale, awe and dazzling brilliance of that film. Even to this day, nearly every frame of the 142-minute movie continues to obsess fans, and today comes yet another video tribute celebrating the visual wonder of the film. Vimeo user Jim Casey put together a 3-minute reel highlighting the "charms" of Kubrick's film, though we'd wager that's not the first word we'd use to describe "2001: A Space Odyssey." Nevertheless, it's a journey through many of the striking images from the movie and a reminder of how breathtaking it all still is. Meanwhile, making the rounds of the interwebs the past couple of days has been a letter purported to be written by Kubrick to MGM when he heard about their...

Recently, someone on my Twitter feed ruminated that directors used to proudly point out instances of visual effects, where today, they are want to highlight in camera effects. The times they are a changin’. This supercut from Jim Casey neatly considers the evolution of VFX across 136 years, from 1878 to today. With glimpses of Le Voyage dans la Lune and Metropolis to Gravity and Inception, the aesthetic beauty of the films has arguably improved, if at the expense of the overall storytelling. I’m still scratching my head over last year’s rapturous response to Gravity, which merely proved that 3-D could be artful, even if the script was still pedestrian.

Official announcement from The Internet ™: these videos of lots of special effects from across the ages are A Thing now. We had one from the Academy themselves and one that was heavy on the recent releases. And now comes a very even-handed one that, while including the genre-obligatory Epic Music, takes us all the way back to 1878, before there even really were movies: it's an Eadweard Muybridge zoopraxiscope shot you're seeing. From there the clip has something from almost every year between then and now, charting the initial reliance on “graphics” in the really very literal sense of things drawn onto film, through the rise of models, stop-motion, clever montage work, elaborate costuming and the like, until computers begin to rear their electronic head with early classics like “Tron” and through to the recent, CGI-rich (or entirely-cgi) work that we now all know so well. Nice work from Jim Casey.

Editor Jim Casey has parsed through the history of cinematic visual effects to create a short and sensory overloading video of it’s history. Beginning with photographer Eadweard Muybridge’s pre-cinamatic photography of a horse galloping up to the present day, the video is not only valuable as a fascinating document of evolving techniques but a representation of the idea that in some ways, we have not come far at all. The video does blur the line at times between practical on set techniques and post-production visual effects, but always to great effect and ultimately to serve a greater thesis. The inclusion of several key animated films signals beautifully the influence and the impact that animation has had in visual effects in particular. Though we may not think of them as such, most computer generated images are closer to the process behind a Walt Disney film than that of a live-action.

Last month, we featured a video that looked at the evolution of filmmaking from all the way back in 1878 to the films of 2014 Now another film reaches all the way back to the same year in the past, but this time with a focus on how visual effects have evolved over the years. It's a little hard to really get a significant vibe for the evolution of these special effects with such brief clips and using only one film to represent an entire year, but it's very interesting to see how far we've come in a very short period of time as technology becomes better and better exponentially every single year (and sometimes more frequent than that). Watch below! Here's The Evolution of Visual Effects from YouTube user Jim Casey (via Movies.com): We appreciate the hard work that went into assembling this video, but we do have some gripes.

Modern film fans have become a bit spoiled when it comes to visual effects as the rise of CGI has made things once deemed completely impossible a reality for filmmakers. We can invent entire worlds with computers, make actors do seemingly impossible things, and create completely unforgettable images thanks to the power of technology. Yet, while modern artists are practically digital wizards, the art of visual effects in film has been around since the dawn of the medium. Artists and filmmakers have been making movie magic on-screen since the earliest days of cinema – and this cool video celebrates not only those early pioneers, but the guys pushing boundaries today.

While we'll have to wait to see how many Oscars it takes home in a few weeks, Spike Jonze's "Her" can probably go ahead and claim the prize of most parodied film of 2013. We've seen Jonah Hill take it on, the voice of Philip Seymour Hoffman stepping in for Samantha and the parody sequel "Him" all emerge over the past few months. And here's another. Jim Casey has recut a trailer for "Her" that finds Joaquin Phoenix falling for Hal 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey." The result? An obviously much chillier relationship with Scarlett Johansson's sultry voice swapped for the clinical, exacting Hal. See the result below. [Huffington Post]...

The SAG Foundation hosted “The Night Before” event at 54 Below in New York City on Sunday night. The event, affectionately called a “friendraiser” instead of a fundraiser, celebrated the debut of the first annual New York Golf Classic. The Golf Classic has been a successful event in Los Angeles for four years, and Sunday night’s event kicked off the event for the east coast. Actor and SAG Foundation President JoBeth Williams welcomed the intimate crowd to the event, and thanked everyone for lending their time and resources to supporting the SAG Foundation. Jim Casey, president and CEO of Integrated Wealth management, one of the event’s sponsors, welcomed guests after a few hours of networking and cocktails. “I am the entertainment!” Casey joked, calling attention to the fact that a stage and a live band could be addictive for anyone. The other event sponsors were Harold Matzner and One America.

The last time we saw Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard together on the big screen was for 2010.s lackluster .When in Rome.. Now, the real-life sweethearts team up for .Hit and Run. and I can tell you that this romantic car chase comedy is much better than their previous pairing.
The film draws you in right from the very beginning when Annie (Bell) and Charlie (Shepard) are canoodling on the bed. We get to meet the main characters in their most intimate moment. Charlie is trying to sooth his fiancée, Annie, because she is extremely nervous. She.s on her way to meeting her boss at a local college, Debby Kreeger, played by the scene stealing Kristin Chenoweth.
There are indeed many scene stealers in the movie. Among them is Tom Arnold as the bumbling U.S. Marshal Randy Anderson. He.s there to protect Charlie, who we learn, is within the witness protection program.

Music can make an average ad great. So why, Robin Hicks asks, is music the last thing a creative thinks about when writing an ad?
My favourite TV ad of the year so far is the Let Yourself Go spot for Kangaroo Island.
When it didn’t win Mumbrella’s Ad of the Month for March (it came third) I felt aggrieved for the agency that made it. But less so a week later when it emerged that the agency had paid celebrities to tweet nice things about its work.
Let Yourself Go is a stunning spot with lots of pretty images. But it would probably have had a similar effect on me if I’d watched a blank screen for 60 seconds.
John Baker of Adelaide ad agency Kwp!, which made the ad, told me that the music (Rise by Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder) “is 50% of the communication”. For me,...

Holy Casey backstory! Now we thought last week's episode was going to be a tough act to follow, but Chuck seemed to have no problem with this week's installment.
You knew you were in for a good episode when "Chuck Versus the Tic Tac" opened with Robert Patrick guest starring in a flashback telling the story of how Alex Coburn became James Casey.
Since it's Chuck, we're going to forgive the silly video game-esque 15 level security the team had to test out, but it was definitely pushing just how cheesy we can forgive the show for being.
Other than that scene, this episode had plenty of phenomenal moments including the most impressive action scenes we've seen all season and possibly series. Sarah lowering herself from the car, spotting the number of badies on the matchbox Casey left behind, and then going 5-on-1? Not only hot, but also awesome.
