Received an email about Clint Eastwood 's Invictus this week. I'll have to share anonymously but I do know the person who sent it so it's legit. He's much more of an Clint fan than I am, but he wasn't too impressed. He sees a somewhat mixed Oscar response coming, but a big hit. Here's what ...

The first and last lines from a movie. No images this time... you're blind! first [laughter and an offscreen voice] "You wanna -- you wanna talk about the vanishing wilderness?!" last [woman to a man in bed] " Shhhh . Go to sleep. Go to sleep." Can you guess the movie? *

Mmmm, Penelope . If people had any sense it would be Almodovar movies that broke attendance records. Not the movies that, in fact, do. But enough handwringing about box offizzze. Given Towleroad’s generous coverage of all things Twilight (all things equalling shirtless wolf boys and wild ...

Jose here with a look back at one of 2001's cinematic gems. At a time when abortion is still a controversial issue, where the ratio of HIV infections in people under 25 increases by the day and where some systems insist on abstinence as the only form of sexual education; Catherine Breillat ...

Today is the 109th anniversary of one Chester Gould the creator of Dick Tracy. Every time Dick Tracy (1990) comes up, I think "you should watch that movie again!" but I never do. I think I'm still mad that Warren Beatty kept cutting away from Madonna's "More" performance... which should've ...

Robert here. My initial thought for my series on the directors who shaped the past decade was to combine the Pixar guys into one big entry. Five minutes later I was filled with great shame. How dare I think that just because these men make animated films, they don’t deserve their own entries. ...

Robert here. As Nathaniel looks back at 2001 , I feel myself wanting to throw in some praise for the best opening scene of the year. An eclipse is coming and the drunks at the town bar enlist the help of village idiot Valuska to explain it to them. You see, Valuska understands things. And those ...

Cinematic birthdays for Nov. 19th , this time with lighter loafers. 1889 Clifton Webb , reportedly as out as an actor could be back in the day but Oscar never gave him their top prize. They never give out actors the statue. Sad, but true. Classic films include Oscar favorites like Laura and ...

Each year the Academy's documentary branch finds a new way to enrage film fans everywhere. This year's big casualty: Anvil! The Story of Anvil , the blissfully reviewed heavy metal documentary ( my review ). That unforgettable music doc's Oscar snub is unsurprising but in a way it only ...

mmmmmANGELINA. Man gelina. I'm so curious to see Salt now that Jolie is staring me down from the poster (she does so more intimidatingly there -- the gaze is more benevolent in real life) and I'm reminded that Salt was originally written for a male star. Will we see any telltale signs of that ...

What follows is my original top ten list of 2001. We'll discuss each year of the decade over the next month or two ( we already did 2000 ). I do this because I am curious about which films "stick" and which fade and why and maybe you are too? Best year of the decade I think. The top five films ...
