Spotlight Pictures has acquired the worldwide rights to "The Beat Beneath My Feet," directed by John Williams (not the composer) and written and produced by Michael Müller. The film will premiere and compete at the Berlin Film Festival in the Generation 14plus category on February 11.

Because life isn't simple. Another intriguing, well-made sci-fi short film to feature today, this one I like quite a bit. It's called Paraphernalia and is a 12-minute short about a boy and his robot, but there's a bit more to it than that. I won't give away the final reveal but it's worth it after spending so much time with these two characters. There's an awesome "Kill All Robots" throwback video game segment halfway through, but overall this is just an outstanding short to enjoy. No wonder it won Best Drama at the La Shorts Fest. It was directed by John Williams - no relation to the composer. Watch it below. "You don't even have guns!" When young Atari Withers gets annoyed with the little robot that follows him everywhere, he tries to leave it, sell it and smash it up... But this robot is more than just a toy.

Here's a wonderfully cute, feel-good, sci-fi short film called Paraphernalia. The short was directed by John Williams, and it centers on a little boy and a Robot that annoys him. I really loved it, it has a great little twist that I think you'll enjoy.

I really hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. With all of the crazy things going on in the world right now, I thought it would be nice to share something a little uplifting.

Over the course of the last week, the regular critics here on Pajiba have assembled their own individual genre lists, covering the top ten films in horror, comic-book adaptations, love stories, comedies, kid's flicks, indies, foreign-language films, action movies, and sci-fi. The Top 20 Films of the Decade, however, has been a collaborative project, not just among the critics here, but our readership. Over the summer, in a comment diversion, our readers also noted their favorite films of the decade, and the collective reader list was given equal weight with each of the critic's lists, all of which resulted in what you see below: The Top 20 Films of the Aughts. In the end, I believe this Top 20 reflects the personality and sensibility of Pajiba as accurately as can be done, capturing the intelligence, quirk, weirdness, the sense of humor, geekiness, and -- ultimately -- the thoughtfulness of the critics and the readership here.

The Watchmen soundtrack. The 1987 literary masterpiece “Watchmen” has finally been squeezed into the film format. The impossible has been done. Whether it has been done well is left to be seen.
I don’t quite buy into the Zack Snyder hype. He’s constantly being called a “Visionary”. For what… a remake of a George Romero classic and a page for page literal interpretation of 300 in the Sin City style? If that’s visionary than what was Kubrick? I am however, a really big fan of the Watchmen book. My conflict lies in the fact that the Watchmen book was more an experiment on the comic book medium that is just not going to translate well into film. The story itself is brilliant, but inside sources say even that has been drastically altered.
