Movies RSS FeedsPassion Without Words: The Cinema of Claire Denis - 09 Jun 03 Issue After spending much of her childhood in Africa, Paris-born film-maker Claire Denis assisted such giants of the international art cinema world as Dušan Makavejev, Costa-Gavras, Wim Wenders and Jim Jarmusch before directing her feature debut, Chocolat (1988), at the age of 40. Since then, she has fashioned a remarkable body of work. Her powerfully emotional films are filled with literary references and the sorts of marginalised characters usually absent from mainstream cinema. In this special issue of Kinoeye, five Denis scholars examine a quartet of the writer-director's most evocative and controversial films, revealing the auteurist vision underlying the apparent diversity.

Le Tombeau d'Alexandre, 1993[Alexander's Tomb/The Last Bolshevik]
The Last Bolshevik opens to an insightful and relevant excerpted passage from author and critical thinker George Steiner's book, In Bluebeard's Castle: Some Notes Towards the Redefinition of Culture: 'It is not the literal past that rules us [save, possibly, in a biological sense]. It is images of the past.' Composed in the structure of montage (an homage to the characteristic editing and filmic language of pioneering Russia... One Nation Under a Groove - by Luc Sante

Boogaloo: The Quintessence of American Popular Musicby Arthur KemptonPantheon, 498 pp., $27.50
The boogaloo is, or was, one of the thousand dances the land was full of in the 1960s, enumerated in inventory songs such as James Brown's 'There Was a Time' and the Isley Brothers' 'Nobody But Me': the skate, the swim, the pony, the monkey, the camelwalk, the shing-a-ling. Arthur Kempton notes that it made its debut as the title of a million-selling but faintly remembered 1965 release by the Chi... Hacker How-To Good Summer Reading - by Michelle Delio

Lawrence Fishburne on Mission Impossible 3 - We only see a fleeting glimpse of Laurence Fishburne in the previews for Mission: Impossible 3. Even Fishburne himself wouldn’t tell us who he plays, “Of course it’s a big secret,” he teased.
The veteran actor did share his experience working with J.J. Abrams on his first feature film. “J J was great but I don’t even think of Mission Impossible as his first feature,” said Fishburne. “If you look at Lost, if you look at Alias, if you look at all that work. He’s involved in one hour drama. He’s doing basically a movie every week, every eight days, every 14 days, whatever it is. His script for Mission was really exciting and it’s going to surprise a lot of people how I think dark the movie is.”
Only a month to go for Mission: Impossible 3.Lawrence Fishburne on Mission ... 9 to 5 DVD Release Party -
It may not be Death Wish but 9 to 5 serves up revenge with comedy and music and remains as vital today as ever. The office avengers return in the new DVD edition of 9 to 5 and the stars celebrated at a party with a musical performance by Dolly Parton herself.
Inside Wolfgang Puck’s The Annex on the top floor of the Hollywood and Highland shopping center, the party floor was decorated with office cubicles. Hired extras stood around in ‘80s style work suits and waiters served drinks in coffee mugs. Wine snobs would not approve, but I think I got a double glass of chardonnay in that baby.
The three stars of the film took the stage, looking fabulous in all their unique ways. Jane Fonda was Hollywood glamour with a gold suit and jewels. Lily Tomlin was intellectual sophistication with a pants suit. Dolly Parton of course was all our glamour with curve hugging white ... Basic Instinct 2 Movie Review - Nobody expected Basic Instinct 2 to be a good film, because the motivations for making it were simply that it was cheaper than having a lawsuit with Sharon Stone. But we were expecting it to be so campy it was fun bad. They couldn't even deliver that. Find out how the filmmakers cheated the fans out of gratuitous sex, violence and other tawdry fun in my explicit review of Basic Instinct 2.Basic Instinct 2 Movie Review originally appeared on About.com Action-Adventure Movies on Friday, March 31st, 2006 at 00:49:41.Permalink | ... Ice Age The Meltdown Movie Review -
Following in the tradition of Toy Story 2 and Shrek 2, Ice Age The Meltdown serves up a CGI sequel even better than its predecessor. It may not have the depth and profundity of the Pixar and PDI entries but it is funnier and more exciting with even greater visual set pieces. Find out what Ice Age The Meltdown has to offer in my movie review.

Top 10 Alien Invasion Movies - In celebration of Slither, I recalled my favorite alien invasion movies of all time… of the ones I’ve seen of course. I probably missed a lot of the great ‘50s era, but I will say I never got into either version of The Thing. I was just never that surprised by who it possessed. And I never had the hots for The Day the Earth Stood Still because I felt distracted from the intellectual premise by the fact that they converted the alien to human form for budgetary reasons. I considered the Alien quadrilogy but ruled them out since those aliens never invaded any planet populated by anything other than specialy chosen colonists or scientists. So what's left?
