I would really like to find this short film: The Nice Guys: Meet the Nice Guys.

Is it available anywhere?

"Nice Guys" is a delightful blend of buddy cop comedy and '70s noir, directed by Shane Black. Set in the backdrop of 1977 Los Angeles, the film follows the unlikely duo of private investigator Holland March (played by Ryan Gosling) and enforcer Jackson Healy (portrayed by Russell Crowe) as they team up to solve the mystery of a missing girl amidst a sprawling conspiracy.

The chemistry between Gosling and Crowe is electric, with Gosling delivering his trademark comedic timing and Crowe showcasing his versatility in a role that balances tough-guy persona with unexpected tenderness. The script is sharp, filled with witty banter and clever dialogue that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish.

What sets "Nice Guys" apart is its playful homage to classic detective films, complete with a pulsating soundtrack and stylish cinematography that captures the essence of the '70s era. The action sequences are thrilling yet grounded, adding to the film's overall charm.

While "Nice Guys" may not reinvent the genre, it's a thoroughly entertaining ride that offers plenty of laughs, intrigue, and heart. With its stellar performances and sharp writing, it's a must-watch for fans of both buddy comedies and detective thrillers.

This is an unadulterated first person view into the lives of soldiers and a medic on the front lines in Ukraine's fight against Russian forces. Using GoPro cameras and brief interviews off the front line, a unit of Ukrainian soldiers gives a first hand account of life on the front lines in the Russian attack on Ukraine. It's a brutal experience that leaves the soldiers on both sides scarred, injured or dead.

While watching this I kept thinking why are these soldiers expending an ounce of extra energy at the risk of their own personal safety to show the world what life is like on their battlefront. I can only imagine it's that important to get this message out - Don't forget your brothers in Ukraine!

The narration threw us off... unnatural cadence and pronunciation. We spent a lot of time discussing whether it was narrated by AI. There seemed to be a lack of material and graphics, as such themes and ideas were repeated over and over to fill the required space. The sum total of interviews could fill about 30 minutes - this should be a 30 minute show to keep the audience's attention.

The subject matter was interesting but we keep hearing about secrets of the building that haven't been discovered. I think five or six times reference is made to the secrets of the structure which are never revealed.

Ultimately the rewards of new and interesting information were too far and few relative to the filler material and we gave up.
