I’ve been watching a lot of short films on YouTube these days, so I thought I’d post a few here.

*note, I saw this film at Toofy in 2006 and have been looking for it everywhere!
Fifty Percent Grey

It seems like a great idea: a post-9/11 disaster flick with aliens. Unfortunately, Matt Reeves
’ Cloverfield begins like an episode of The Hills and looks like the cinematography was done by Britney Spears a la her homemade reality show Chaotic.
Eagle vs Shark, a brilliant comedy from New Zealand director Taika Waititi and featuring Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords is now on DVD. The film plays like a New Zealand version of Napoleon Dynamite with amped up awkwardness and stellar performances all around.
The Celebrity Apprentice made its debut last night on NBC. The cast included some famous faces as well as individuals who could barely be called “celebrities”. In the first challenge, the teams ran hot dog carts in New York and tried to raise money for charity. *Review contains spoilers*
In 2002, Trashwire.com was just a little Tripod website where my friends and I posted weird news stories. In the past five years, we have grown to become an entertainment news and pop culture commentary site, added a blog, created YouTube videos, and covered everything from Lindsay Lohan to Leopard for Mac. The site has also had a few face lifts over the years and grown along with our knowledge of site-building.
On January 1st, 2008, we launched another re-design of the site. This new layout feels more like a blog and offers readers more access to stories and resources right from the front page. You can view the five most recent articles in a convenient sidebar, leave comments on stories, search the archives more efficiently, and bookmark your favorite articles using services like Digg, Newsvine, Facebook, and Del.ic.ious. Submitting stories to us is a lot easier too– just use our new Contact Us page.
Along with the new design, we will be bringing you more great content. Look for more reviews, celebrity news, and even some new videos.
To celebrate the new year and the new look for Trashwire, we will be holding a submission contest. Submit an article to Trashwire.com and if we publish it, you could win four free tickets to the Starz FilmCenter in Denver. Don’t live in Denver? You can still submit an article and get it published on Trashwire. Be sure to keep checking Trashwire.com to see if your article is chosen and to look out for other contests!
Thanks so much for checking out Trashwire.com!
