Sharon Waxman of the New York Times has a great article titled “The Mystery of the Missing Moviemakers”.
� | �Is it a sign of timidity, or laziness, or some unexpected lack of drive? Is it a lack of interesting material? Is it the fault of the studio system and its emphasis on high-paying, mind-numbing commercial fare?” questions Waxman.
I must disagree with her on Russell’s I Heart Huckabees which she calls “disastrous.” I a... |
Despite its flaws, Alex Proyas’ Knowing ended up being a fascinating film, with a cool sci-fi bent and some interesting ideas | about faith. I was so taken aback by the film and its audacious ending that I held an impromptu /Filmcast, where we all tried to make sense of what the movie was all supposed to mean (and determine whether or not the film was actually any good).
/Filmcast listener Ned wrote in a detailed response to that podcast episo... |
In 1997, we recommended a promising candidate in a special election for Santa Clara County supervisor in District 1, and we were sorry that she lost. | But when the victor in that race later ran for a full term, we were happy to say: Stick with Don Gage. He’s doing a great job.
Today we congratulate Cindy Chavez on her decisive victory over Teresa Alvarado, whom we strongly recommended in Tuesday’s special election for District 2 supervisor. And we hope that, like Ga... |
MILAN - The man on the move be it with a big backpack, an oversized shopper or the old-fashioned carry-on, | was the key theme of high-end labels as they showcased their designs for next summer at Milan's Fashion Week, which wrapped up Tuesday.

"Singin' in the Rain," "Sunset Boulevard" and "The Player" are among the films that have made hay writing about the | Hollywood machine.
There have been great movies about Hollywood almost as long as Hollywood has been making them. Damien Chazelle's much-Oscar nominated "La La Land" is part of a grand tradition going back beyond "Singin' in the Rain" and running past "Mulholland Drive."

Hillary Clinton is issuing a challenge to Donald Trump: I'm ready to debate. Are you?
On Monday night, seemingly out of the blue | , Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta released a statement saying that Clinton "looks forward to participating in all three presidential debates" that are scheduled in September and October.

The researchers chose to focus on the oceans because they make a tiny, but important contribution to the Earth's overall magnetic field. The salt within seaw | ater can conduct electricity. And oceans don't remain still; rather, they move in cycles, up and down. As the tides cycle through the world's oceans, that salty water essentially tugs on the magnetic field above our planet.
"We have used Swarm to measure the magnetic signals of tides from the ocean surface to the seabe... |
Conservative politicians and pundits lie and distort far more than liberals do.

This puts mainstream media fact-checkers in an unenviable situation, trying to seem balanced in an environment where one side simply has more enthusiasm for lying than the other. Now the pressure to overemphasis or even exaggerate claims of liberal m... |

Everybody loves Batman. After 75 years of saving Gotham City, the Caped Crusader has become an archetype. So it's not surprising that every comic | needs its own version of Bats.

I had a pretty good idea of where “Django Unchained” was going from the first credit. It went to the Weinstein | Company. The Weinstein Company once fought a legal battle (settled out of court) over the right to distribute “Precious,” which is, in my opinion, the worst film ever made about black life. The company’s name in the credits for “Django” also meant that the movie was aimed at a mainstream audience.
