Anyone who knows me personally knows that I'm kind of a movie nerd. It's not quite at a Quentin Tarantino level, where the brain is actually an encyclopedia of film, but somewhere closer to the "I hardly ever lose at Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" level. That's why I was so excited to read this little piece on the Newsweek website about a couple of high profile ad campaigns out right now.
Even though I had seen these commercials before, I wasn't aware that some of Hollywood's best and most accomplished directors were behind them. Besides being highly cinematic and incredibly well made, these commercials (excepting perhaps Michel Gondry's Motorola Ad) also deliver strong brand messages. Despite my previous criticism that advertising work should typically not be considered art, these directors come very close to turning that notion on its head. Check them out and decide for yourself.

DUBLIN (Reuters) – The Irish [url=http://www.redcarpetflorist.com/glendale-florist/mothers-day-flowers-97c.asp]Mother Day Flower Delivery[/url] Aviation Dominion said it would budget flights to offer on from all Irish airports from 1200 GMT on Tuesday but volcanic ash could cause more disruptions later in the week and periodically from equal end to the other of the summer.
The IAA had closed airports from 0600 GMT until 1200 GMT correct to unexpected of ash ingestion in aircraft engines, although overflights of Ireland from Britain and continental Europe had not been banned.
