Why Watch? Based on the short story by Roald Dahl, this tense short film shows an inventor named Klausner who creates a machine that picks up a shocking sound. The imagery is beautiful, and the whole thing feels like Wes Anderson went on a dark sci-fi kick and grabbed a Canon HV20. What Will It Cost? Just ten minutes of your time. Does it get better any better than that? Only if we got you some headphones while you watched. Check out The Sound Machine for yourself:

Kevin Carr heads out to the movies this week, making a stop in a fox hole with the Fantastic Mr. Fox, and then moving on to the end of the world.

‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ is definitely a Wes Anderson movie; it’s full of whimsy and alienation, and it explores troubled relationships. It’s also animated and about a family of foxes. The combination makes for a unique experience.
