Porcelain Unicorn │ Trevor Teichmann

"Porcelain Unicorn" is that one-of-a-kind film short, that manages to break the heart in the least amount of time.  It won a first place prize in the "Philips’ Tell It Your Way", film-making contest, for American director Keegan Wilcox.  The plot of "Porcelain Unicorn" was inspired by the real-life, traumatic World War II experiences of Wilcox's grandfather.  It is a true story, and an extremely moving one at that.  Trevor Teichmann is completely stunning, and captivating as the Hitler Youth who discovers a young Jewish girl who is hiding from the Gestapo.  His face tells complete stories of its own.  He is now involved in the filming, and production, of the theatrical version of "Porcelain Unicorn".  Trevor, who is a model, has a wonderful career as a movie actor ahead of him.  I can watch "Porcelain Unicorn" over and over again with complete enjoyment.  The conclusion of this film is completely magical, and wonderful.

Alpha Beta Gamma │ Adrian Huerta

In this edition of Endyr's Planet we are featuring "Alpha Beta Gamma" starring Adrian Huerta.  This amazing film- short was directed and written by Miguel Alcaide.  Try to figure out what happens to the little chicken at the end of the movie.  The answer to this is not very obvious at first.

Crank That (Soulja Boy) │ Brennen Maniaci

I am completely fascinated by Brennen Maniaci's performance of "Crank That (Soulja Boy)".  I saw a short video of it about six months ago.  In that video, he was doing the dance as part of an ensemble, but his dancing skills outshone the other dancers.  I was very happy to find a video of him doing a solo version of "Soulja Boy".  Incidentally,  "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" was composed and performed by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way.  Please click on this link to purchase an MP3 of "Crank That (Soulja Boy) from Amazon.com:   Crank That (Soulja Boy)  In this edition of Endyr's Planet we are featuring Brennen's amazing and hypnotic performance of "Crank That (Soulja Boy)".  Brennen is very athletic and does some cool body flips.  By-the-way, I really like his facial expressions when he is barreling-down-the-groove!

Esperança Do Natal │ Chico and Roberta

Chico and Roberta is an exciting musical duo from Puerto Seguru in Brazil.  They were inseparable from their infancy, and went to the same school, and even did their homework together.  Chico and Roberto initially received a lot of media attention with their spirited dance interpretation of the Lambada, which you can find many versions of on YouTube.  In this edition of Endyr's Planet, my Dear Aunt Martha and I are presenting two remarkable video presentations of  "Esperança Do Natal (Christmas Hope)"  performed by Chico and Roberta with a large supporting cast.  These videos have really high production values, and stands out as some of the best music videos ever to come out of Brazil.  As usual, my Dear Aunt Martha and I discovered "Esperança Do Natal" quite serendipitously when we were browsing the internet for something else.  "Esperança Do Natal" is an extremely hypnotic, haunting, infectious, exotic, intriguing, and beautiful song.  I can listen to it over, and over again with complete enjoyment.  By-the-way, the conga player has a rhythmic intensity that is very appealing.  He is fun to watch.  Please click on this link to purchase an MP3 of Chico and Roberta singing "Esperança Do Natal" from Amazon.com:  Esperença Do Natal - Chico and Roberta   Without further ado, please click on the video widgets below for an incredible video treat.
