...also taken with Out the Fire, a charming animated short depicting skeletons dancing and riding fire extinguishers through New York City. There’s something infectious about its crude drawing style and its jaunty Caribbean soundtrack. Where Monsters Lie, a light, brief tale of monsters living among us, is even more crudely drawn and only marginally interesting. Pleasureland is an uncompelling clunker of an erotic sci-fi story, following the exploits of an man who stumbles upon a video store whose adult tapes are made flesh by his VCR. The short also features yards of cable, black goop...

Jaime's plots center on Maggie Chascarrillo, a dreamy woman who drifts in and out of relationships among Los Angeles' grownup punk rockers; his lines and compositions are slim and elegant, though he doesn't shy away from crude cartoonishness when a character's emotional state requires...
...frustrating years waiting for deals to be signed, as bureaucracy, xenophobia and corruption combined to thwart their dreams of bringing Sakhalin's well-known oil riches to the outside world. But in recent months, the oilmen have turned almost giddy--buoyed in equal measure by the high price of crude and President Vladimir Putin's pledge to build a legal foundation for the West's multibillion-dollar oil bet on Russia...
