Dan is a fantastic interviewer, and his stuff is always worth reading, and he’s pretty good at scoring exclusives with interesting people. His latest is Greg Rucka, novelist … Continue reading
In An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore stands before a group of true believers and delivers a fairly engaging Power Point presentation about global warming. The same dynamic will be played out in movie theaters, except that cinemagoers will also get Tales of Young Al Gore, stories from his life that end up having some bearing … Continue reading
Ben Affleck’s trying to get out of his hole, and he’s got the help of some fine actors. The lantern jawed actor is directing Gone, Baby, Gone, from his own adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel.

The Weinsteins’ approach to collecting Asian movies has been comparable to a 6-year-old kid who mimics cool things adults do without actually knowing why it’s cool.
