With its intertwining stories of family and the connections that bind and tear us apart, Swedish director Lukas Moodysson's first English language feature evokes the work of any number of filmmakers, in particular Robert Altman (though some have also compared the film to the work of Guillermo Arriaga or Paul Haggis). That's not to say, however, that Mammoth is derivative. The director creates his own...

IT just goes from bad to worse for those poor, beleaguered Scientology nutsters. After the major hit they took in a court in France recently, and their loss of prominent member Paul Haggis, they are now licking their wounds from a mauling inflicted by an Australian politician. Senator Nick Xenophon, whose surname suggest that he might be [...]

Jason Zinoman on Robert Mckee | vanityfair.com Jason Zinoman, who has a particular interest in horror films, reports on his attendance at a screenwriters seminar held by the famous screenwriting teacher Robert McKee. McKee comes across as a bit of a jerk who wings it on browbeating self-confidence. Here's Jason's summary of how to replicate McKee's technique: Rule One: Drop names shamelessly. McKee...

Films dealing with the Iraq war have not exactly had a solid track record with critics or audiences. While The Hurt Locker was the first Iraq combat film to make headway with either group earlier this year, garnering quite a bit of Oscar heat in the process, those films that dealt with the aftermath of the war, the soldiers on the home front, have been largely neglected.I'm thinking mainly of Paul...

De curând Times şi Telegraph au dat publicităţii clasamentele privind cele mai bune 100 de filme din ultimii 10 ani şi înţelegem că fiind independente cele două liste nu au cum să fie la fel, însă filmul lui Cristian Mungiu 4 luni, 3 săptămâni şi 2 zile s-a clasificat pe locul 14 în topul Timesonline şi pe...

The Church of Scientology, who has members such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta, appears to be under fire at the moment. And the reason for this is all the negative press that it has been having, as well as other factors. Take the fraud conviction for example. According to specials.msn.com, a Paris court has recently [...]

I've likely spoken at some length on the majority of these awards, seeing as how most of them were given out this year... which means this will be the last installment of the Awards section of The Decade List, as I hope to will finish this all up by the end of the year. The "national film prizes" sounded really great in theory, but it's actually been more of a hassle than anything else. I'm...

The vehicular accident that kills or injures lots of people is fertile ground for dramatists. It offers the story-teller a way of bringing together a random cross-section of folk, and therefore an opportunity to create all kinds of juicily disparate characters, whose destinies collide in the blink of an eye, or the crash of a plane, train or automobile. On the silver screen this was done brilliantly...

The sh*t has really hit the fan for Scientology lately. Whether it’s rumors of Tom Cruise threatening to beat the crap out of underling Scientologists who were insubordinate (for refusing to beat the crap out of their underlings), to revelations that Tom made former Scientologist Marc Headley talk to a doorknob for hours at [...]

Organizing and ranking the work of the '00s is probably the main focus of a lot of publications right now, and so far I've only stumbled on two of them (one thanks to Adrian Curry). The UK Times Online made their 100 Best Films of the Noughties, as per UK release, with some surprising and frankly unfortunate choices. Any list that includes Paul Haggis' Crash is automatically tossed in the bin for me...

I knew Scientology was in trouble when the media moved on from the usual silly gossip about its celebrity members to much darker, disturbing issues at the heart of the movement – issues, as I have come personally to understand, that actually matter, Jonny Jacobsen writes in Herald Scotland . After a Paris court last month convicted several Scientologists and two organisations associated with...

It’s perhaps silly to complain about lists, but it has come round, shockingly quickly, to both that time of year and that time of the decade when critics are looking back at what the 21st century has given us so far, a summation of 10 years of cinema. I’ll be doing it myself at the beginning of 2010. The first of these lists that I’ve seen was published today in The Times, you can...

100 The Devil Wears Prada (David Frankel, 2006) Meryl Streep begins her own populist career reinvention (soon to be followed by Mamma Mia!) by playing a tyrannical and thinly disguised version of Vogue editor Anna Wintour in this satirical yet soft-centered account of life among the fashionistas.
