...four, even six movies a day, often eschewing the blockbusters-to-be in favor of films that won't make it to DVD, much less mainstream theaters. We asked a few veterans about their tight schedules, the days before advance ticket sales, and the rush they get from a celluloid overdose...
Feist reunites with Patrick Daughters, the director of a previous Feist video, to bring choreographed jazz-style dance numbers back on to celluloid. “1 2 3 4” is a no-frills music video: there isn’t a complicated narrative arc to follow, nor are there big-budget sets or psychedelic special effects. Feist leads a Skittle-colored troupe in a rambunctious dance across an empty sound stage. By a minute in, you’re ready to follow Feist’s example and throw up your hands in glee. The appeal...

...Fuzz Celluloid Gold Haha, wait—the British have cop movies? Don’t they, like, not have any crime there? It’s like the Vermont of the European Union. Okay, let’s set that matter aside for a moment.

Unlike most trailers, this one manages to be equal parts LOL-worthy...
