Liberation of a Disney Princess?

Darrel Manson

Merida is much closer to the heroines in Studio Ghibli films (such as Spirited Away or The Secret World of Arrietty) than she is to the classic Disney Princesses such as Aurora or Cinderella.

Dice, Your Movie Friend

Cool! Rock of Ages! I think we sang that hymn in church once. Wait a second... they're making fun of that, right? Well, that doesn't matter at all. Because you're much better off just listening to the soundtrack, and nothing else matters.

Darrel Manson

This story is told with such humor that we know that these people are living lives of joy even though there is so much that would lead others to despair.

To Rome With Love

To Rome With Love 

Darrel Manson

"I'm a great believer in music in movies," says Allen. "It covers a multitude of sins.

"Now a great director-a really great director, let's say like Ingmar Bergman-did not believe in music. He thought the use of music in films was barbaric. That was his word. His films are great enough that he doesn't need any outside help.

"I need help."

One of the free screenings offered at LA Film Fest was the local story, G-Dog. Directed by Oscar-winning documentarian Freida Mock, this is a look into Homeboy Industries and the driving force behind it, Father Greg Boyle.


Strong Docs
LAFF Day 2

It looks like I saw nine films yesterday. I know you must be impressed. I have to admit, most of these I saw in press screenings before the festival.


Rich and Poor
