Michael Winterbottom is one of my favorite directors, but I don’t know that I could tell you what makes a Winterbottom film a Winterbottom film. And that’s why I like him so much – he jumps from place to place, style to style, and genre to genre. He’s an… Continue reading
Read the first part of the set visit, with an interview with director Michael Bay, here. There are a number of different kinds of vehicles on the downtown Los Angeles street where Transformers is shooting: there are the ones that have been tossed about in… Continue reading

That's the first picture of The Joker from The Dark Knight, thanks to themykra, from the message boards. The other day we told you about the ‘I Believe In Harvey Dent’ fake campaign site for The Dark Knight. It turns out the speculation was true: the site was… Continue reading

Michael Moore’s Sicko is currently conquering France at the Cannes Film Festival (but no surprise there), where it’s being called a movie that “opens your emotional pores” (Jeff Wells) and “alternates between comedy and outrage” (Variety). There’s some… Continue reading
