The Artist

Riches to Rags

Darrel Manson

This is really a study in conceit. At the beginning of the film we see very quickly that George can be a jerk. He steals the limelight whenever he has the chance. His home is graced by a bigger than life painting of himself.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Ouch!

Dice

Do you have lines that you don't like to cross when it comes to movie content? I imagine you do. I imagine we all do! And they vary from person to person... but wherever your lines are drawn, David Fincher probably wants to cross them.

Shame

Sex as Alienation

Darrel Manson

Certainly, the mere subject matter will keep many people away from Shame. Those who brave the film-and it is a challenge because it is so dark-may discover the weight that alienation can carry.

Roundtables with Cast & Director

Sarah Brock

I went to New York to interview Dolly Parton, Queen Latifah, Keke Palmer, and Jeremy Jordan, who all starred in the film Joyful Noise. I also interviewed the director, Todd Graff. It was an amazing time and I got to know some wonderful people!

Colombiana

Lost Childhood... and Much More

Jacob Sahms

Now on Blu-ray. Luc Besson returns with another female fatale who will take no prisoners, right a few wrongs, and captivate any audience... with Zoe Saldana as our hero. She's never going to be the same, but we hope for her future, that she will ultimately find some peace.
