The Nintendo 64 is going on 21 years since its original 1996 release date here in North America. This year also marks the 20th anniversary for many of the systems ground breaking games such as Goldeneye 007 and Star Fox 64. Even though the original N64 launched in a charcoal color Nintendo wasn’t going to let the N64 suffer the same fate as its two previous consoles and be bound to just that color forever. Like Apple did with their iMac G3 line of computers Nintendo was going to go all out with fun color variations for fans to enjoy! Today we are going to look back at the five coolest N64 color variations.

Why does Julian Fellowes hate babies? Sorry, that’s not a fair question. Let’s try that again. Why does Julian Fellowes hate babies and pregnant women? I’m sure that in real life, the creator and writer of Downton Abbey, who also happens to be a father, loves children. When a relative or friend announces she’s expecting, Fellowes is undoubtedly thrilled. He’s probably even the first person to send a card, bouquet, or Japanese netsuke of congratulations. But on Downton Abbey, he has consistently emphasized negativity regarding the having of infants.Before getting into all that, first, let’s take note of this week’s big breaking news, which was hinted at last week, when Lady Edith popped into the doctor’s office: Edith is pregnant. She got a letter from that doctor stating that she has symptoms consistent with the first trimester of pregnancy, which is...

Warning: contains plot details for The Empty Hearse, The Sign Of Three and potentially spoiler-y speculation for His Last Vow (which we haven't seen yet).
Something bad is going to happen in Sherlock. How could it not? The Sign Of Three was so cockle-warming an outing for Holmes and Watson, with such a cheering resolution (a baby! a disco! so many declarations of love!), that it had to be setting us up for a fall. A figurative one, this time.
Sherlock’s indestructibility established, the ‘something bad’ dangles Damoclean over other heads than his. There’s John of course, Mycroft, Molly, Lestrade, Mrs Hudson and the Woman, all of whom mean something to us and our hero. Another character though, one whose...

While watching Simon get lured into Flova’s underwater realm, viewers of Clear Blue will experience a similar feeling of being drawn into it’s world of fantasy. As part of their thesis project at the AFI Conservatory in Los Angeles, director Lindsay MacKay, producer S. Brent Martin and cinematographer Mattias Troelstrup teamed up to develop and shoot a short film that, despite it’s 20-minute length, has the look and feel of a feature film. And now, as Clear Blue continues to earn awards and praise, festivals are lining up to screen the film. Clear Blue tells the story of Simon (Chris Sheffield), a brand new lifeguard who’s assigned the early shift at his local swimming pool. Simon becomes obsessed with Flova (Nancy Linehan Charles), an elderly woman and the pool’s only patron during those morning hours, after he discovers her unbelievable capacity to stay submerged under water.

Eat My Shorts is a bi-weekly column that showcases and reviews short films.
More than 130 short films, including narrative, animation and documentary varieties and new works from the likes of Harmony Korine (we shared that awesomeness earlier) and Ondi Timoner, could be seen at SXSW this year. That's not even including the music video program, which could very well count, especially since some of the official short series featured examples of the format. At lengths of anywhere between a minute and a half-hour each, that's a lot of entertainment.
While in Austin, I managed to only see a small fraction of the offerings, such as the four excellent selections for this year's Medium Cool program of "(not so) shorts." There was the early Jarmusch-like 'John's Gone' by the Safdie brothers, the long-form Arcade Fire video, titled 'Scenes from the Suburbs,'...

Ethereal and lyrical are not often words I associate with a student film. Clear Blue, written and directed by Lindsay MacKay, is the tale of a neophyte lifeguard and an older woman who takes an early morning swim each day, during which something mysterious happens to her under the surface of the water. It's not really a mystery, per se, but the film is shot and put together in a lovely, delicate manner that's more suggestive fantasy than it is straightforward drama. According to producer S. Brent Martin (no relation), much of the funding was raised through a Facebook campaign; the crew was "predominantly" students. MacKay and Martin met while studying in the Film program at York University in Toronto, and then met up again...

Watch the trailer for Clear Blue, a narrative short screening at SXSW this year in the “Medium Cool” category, and you’ll probably be intrigued if not a little hesitant to discover why a naïve young lifeguard, Simon (Chris Sheffield), is tripping over his swim shorts for a woman in her 60’s (Nancy Linehan Charles).
Go see Clear Blue and you’ll discover that there’s more behind the teenager’s obsession with and desire for the early-morning regular at the pool.
The film opens in silence with a lovely clip of foreshadowing as a pair of red swim trunks float slowly to the surface of an indoor swimming pool. One of my favorite moments in the film is Simon’s first early-morning shift in which he stands before the empty pool with his lifeguard whistle around his neck and practices chiding imaginary swimmers,...
