While we excitedly await for Christopher Nolan's Inception, which has a train running wild through downtown L.A., this fun mash-up of the downtown-based (500) Days of Summer with the Summer blockbuster's dramatic trailer music by Zack Hemsey will have to do. To compare, here's the original (500) Days trailer. more ›

When Meaghan Smith decided to quit her career as an animator and pursue the singer/songwriter path, she took a big leap of faith. Thankfully, the leap was well worth it, and in October she released her first full studio album, "The Cricket's Orchestra." Though it may sound contradictory, the album is a throwback ahead of its time. By combining underappreciated instruments such as the mellotron with her fresh take on love songs, Smith has crafted her own batch of modern-day standards. And she has even returned to her roots to animate her own music videos. more ›

For someone living in Los Angeles, 500 Days of Summer was not only a cute and hilarious movie (watch the trailer here), it was equally pleasing to see a film shot in downtown Los Angeles that had a story line taking place and recognizing the burgeoning neighborhood for what it is. From the Redwood Bar to the Broadway Bar, Bunker Hill to the Civic Center Mall, it was exciting, for once, to go, "hey, I know that location and it's not being masked as New York City," and not go "why are they filming downtown but calling it North Hollywood? NoHo isn't that urban." more ›

The following post is from our advertiser, 500 Days of Summer. This is a story of boy meets girl, begins the wry, probing narrator of 500 Days of Summer, and with that the film takes off at breakneck speed into a funny, true-to-life and unique dissection of the unruly and unpredictable year-and-a-half of one young man’s no-holds-barred love affair. Tom, the boy, still believes, even in this cynical modern world, in the notion of a transforming, cosmically destined, lightning-strikes-once kind of love. Summer, the girl, doesn’t. Not at all. But that doesn’t stop Tom from going after her, again and again, like a modern Don Quixote, with all his might and courage. Suddenly, Tom is in love not just with a lovely, witty, intelligent woman - not that he minds any of that — but with the very idea of Summer, the very idea of a love that still has the power to shock the heart and stop the world. Fox Searchlight Pictures presents 500 Days of Summer, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. In select theaters July 17.
