DAVID LEAN

Said to be a major inspiration to director Steven Spielberg, Director David Lean is best known for his blockbusters: The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), for which he won an Academy Award, followed by another for Lawrence of Arabia (1962). After the moderately successful Ryan's Daughter in 1970, he did not direct another film until A Passage to India (1984), which was his last. He was in the midst of planning an epic production of Joseph Conrad's Nostromo when he died from cancer in 1991 (Nostromo would eventually be made as a BBC mini-series).

<i>HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE</i> (2005)

HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE (2005)  

My history with a certain Mr. Potter is a very sordid one, filled with both distress and elation. I have never cracked open one of J.K. Rowling’s revered tomes, and do not plan to. Reason: I dislike ubiquitous books. I don’t mean popular fiction, Stephen King and Danielle Steel are fine. “Ubiquitous...

KISS KISS, BANG BANG (2005)  

Let’s be blunt: This is the one you have been waiting for this year. Not the $100 million dollar giant pandas riding robot giraffes on Mars spectacular. This is the small where-did-that-come-from movie in the mold of “Pulp Fiction”, “Fargo”, or “LA Confidential”. “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang” an amalgm...

<i>JARHEAD</i> (2005)

JARHEAD (2005)  

You might have heard rumblings that Jarhead is a war movie with no real combat action, and that’s true. If you wanted to see a lot of bloodpacks and squibs being set off on famous people, forget it. This movie has got a message, dammit, and it’s not going to let something as feeble as your ex...

WEATHERMAN (2005)  

In “The Weather Man”, Nicholas Cage plays the title character, a Chicago TV personality named Dave Spritz. His occupation comes easy for him, despite being pelted by the occasional fast food item tossed by pedestrians pissed off at the inequity of a man so poor at predicting the weather getting such...

Gaghan, who won an Oscar for his screenplay to Steven Soderbergh’s “Traffic”, was very relaxed and funny, but above all highly knowledgeable on the subject of oil. “Syriana” explores the inner machinations of the oil industry and layers at least 5 or...
