The Squid and the Whale – dir. Noah Baumbach Though I’ve often heard Wes Anderson fans name Noah Baumbach as one of the reasons why The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou failed to live up to his previous efforts, Baumbach’s solo endeavor The Squid and the Whale is one of the finer examples of the Sundance lot of American cinema in recent years. Unlike the films of Todd Solondz, the searing,...

With no public funding and credit lines frozen, American independent filmmakers are finding it tough to make a movie these days. “I mean if Osama bin Laden gave me money to film, I’d take it,” Todd Solondz tells Bloomberg .

The results may be excellent, but should the offbeat director have been allowed to ride roughshod all over Roald Dahl's cherished tale? First of all, let's get one thing straight: Fantastic Mr Fox is a great Wes Anderson movie. It's sharper than The Darjeeling Limited, hangs together better than The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, and bears comparison to my favourite from the king of quirk, The Royal...

It looks like James Cameron is going for the tight-lipped PR approach for Avatar, and the Todd Solondz school of misanthropy might be supplying one of its finest graduates for the next Spider-Man villain I'm a sucker for getting caught up in the hype for big blockbuster sci-fi movies that know exactly how to market themselves in order to look like the coolest thing since Ripley took out the xenomorph...

I have seen Todd Solondz' Happiness , so I can't picture character actor Dylan Baker as anything other than a pedophile who admits he's thought about having sex with his own son, but would stop short. Bleeehhhh. However, Baker recently confirmed he's back for Spider-Man 4 , which could mean he'll be playing a much more pleasant giant lizard. At a screening for Trick 'r Treat in New York City, Baker...

Life During Wartime Dir: Todd Solondz Cast: Alison Janney, Shirley Henderson, Ciaran Hinds, Christopher Marquette, Paul Reubens, Ally Sheedy Nobody could accuse Todd Solondz, the provoc-auteur behind Welcome to the Dollhouse , Happiness and Palindromes of making easy films. Life During Wartime is no exception. A cold, caustic, challenging film, it will likely split audiences right down the middle....

Charlotte Rampling has only one scene in her latest film, Life During Wartime, showing at The Times BFI London Film Festival. But, boy, what a scene. In Todd Solondz’s quasi-sequel to his 1998 indie hit Happiness she orchestrates a brutal car crash of a seduction between her character, the intimidating, viciously forthright Jacqueline, and Ciarán Hinds’s Bill, a convicted paedophile...
