Want to go 'Brokeback to the Future'?

See what some some clever folks have done to the 'Back to the future' trilogy, and see 'Night Watch' in full.

Feb  7 2006

Having trawled the highways and byways of the worldwide web to find cool film-related content, I think I've found a couple of gems for all our TOMB readers out there.

First up is 'Brokeback to the Future', perhaps the best three minutes of film you will see this year. Following in the footsteps of the spoof trailers of 'Big' and 'The Shining' that did the rounds late last year, this particular gem takes the adventures of Marty McFly and his time-travelling buddy Doc Brown and twists them in diabolical and hilarious ways. To see what the pair of them were really doing when that DeLorean hit 88 miles per hour, click here: 'Brokeback to the Future' trailer.

Second up is a 'condensed featurette' based on one of my favourite films of last year, 'Night Watch'. What this basically boils down is the whole movie playing for two and a half minutes in speeded up form. So if you haven't yet seen this amazing sci-fi epic, you may want to give it a miss, but if you have, this is a fine reminder of why a Russian blockbuster had more ingenuity, invention and imagination than any of its Hollywood counterparts last year. To see the quick flick, head to the film's official site here and click on the link at the bottom of the page.
