Dude. I don't know if you have checked them out yet, but the BMW Film series really kicks ass. I just finished watching the John Woo movie and wow, it is better than Windtalkers.
It is so cool, to see what a big Hollywood feature director can do in terms of short films. Kudos to whoever came up with the idea of making short films as advertisements. It is about damn time to, because you see the products in the movies all the time, done very cheesy. But the idea to make a movie off a product is tight and well done in these movies.
While I know they are working on huge budgets and crews that we would all love to have on one of our FEATURE FILMS, the stories are just as good as the action and images. The sound tracks are amazing along with the acting.

It really kicks ass! Download them, even listen to John Woo trying to give a directors commentary in English. Well Done BMW! Wait till I come out with VolvoFilms.com... oh yeah baby... its about the safety!

I think David Fincher was the guy who pulled the project together. About a year ago, Entertainment Weekly said he was using his magical directing powers to get the big names all in one place (he also was executive producer on all of them). OK, so maybe it didn't say magical...
