Rushmore: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

If you are a Wes Anderson fan, then you already know and hopefully are fond of his films and soundtracks that come with his wonderful films, anyways I am not that caught up to date with seeing all his stuff cause I want to savour the films and see them once or so or wait for a special event or something to watch it. Anyways one of the presents or early presents I received for my birthday was Rushmore an amazing film about a boy; Max Fisher (Jason Schwartzman), who is fifteen years old and goes to a private school and falls in love with a teacher, at the school who teachers a kindergarden class, Billy Murray is in it and Olivia Williams. It has a cool spice up of characters in the movie. Also check out a new short film by Wes Anderson, Hotel Chevalier.

Night On Earth

One of my favourite movies right now, is Night On Earth (1991) directed and written by Jim Jarmusch. Five cities. Five taxicabs. A multitude of strangers in the night. Jim Jarmusch assembled an extraordinary international cast of actors (including Gena Rowlands, Winona Ryder, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Beatrice Dalle, and Roberto Benigni) for his hilarious quintet of tales of urban displacement and existential angst, spanning time zones, continents, and languages. Jarmusch's lovingly askew view of humanity from the passenger seat makes for one of his most charming and beloved films.

Spike Jonze For Your Brain

I don't know or care if you know who Spike Jonze is, but. He was a senior photography for Transworld Skateboarding (magazine), in his past he has directed and shot skateboarding videos such as most notably Blind Skateboard company's Video Days in 1991 and in 1996 Girl Skateboards film Mouse. He also co-directed the Girl Skateboards film Yeah Right! and the Chocolate Skateboards video Hot Chocolate. In the closing credits montage of Yeah Right! Spike is shown doing a nollie heelflip in loafers.

Anyways back to my point or whatever, one of Spike Jonze's recent films he has finished is Lakai Fully Flared. Fully Flared is a skateboarding film by Lakai Footwear directed by Ty Evans, Spike Jonze and Cory Weincheque. The video's release got posponed for about two years, mainly due to important team additions, and overall it took four whole years to make it. Here is a segment from the film, one of my favourites ironically it is just the intro but whatever, I enjoyed the whole film, make sure you check this out.
