Doc with 'Sharp Teeth'

Already one of the most eagerly-anticipated titles at SXSW 2008, has  
to be Erik Nelson's documentary 'Dreams With Sharp Teeth'. Not just  
because it's the feature directorial debut of Werner Herzog's latest  
producing partner, but because the subject of the film is the  
influential, adored, and controversial writer Harlan Ellison. Ellison  
is renowned in certain circles, but pretty much a mystery no matter  
where you turn. He's undeniably smart and talented, with a list of  
credits that have gone on to influence some of today's best sci-fi  
creators. Some of those he's influenced (Neil Gaiman, Robin Williams,  
Ronald D. Moore, etc) are featured in the documentary. The gang from  
Twitch has discovered the 'Dreams With Sharp Teeth' Web site. And, if  
you click there now, you can watch an early trailer for this cool,  
cool flick.

'Run Fat Boy Run' Trailer

At SXSW 2007, we had the documentary 'Run Granny Run', featuring  
"Granny D." In 2008, we'll have 'Run Fat Boy Run', starring Simon  
Pegg. This is a really endearing, entertaining, and actually sorta  
uplifting comedy that should help unite both die-hard Pegg fans, and  
the uninitiated. In short: it's a Simon Pegg movie you can take your  
parents to see. The film was a smash hit in its native UK, and now  
Picturehouse will release it stateside this Spring. View the U.S.  
trailer here, and catch the film at SXSW 2008.
