    "Andrew Sarris may be one of the most influential American film critics, but here’s a claim, located within his recent review of In Search of a Midnight Kiss, that may not hold up to some of his better-remembered theories: “Even when we confront 40-year-old virgins of either gender, movies refuse to show them compensating for the lack of a sexual partner. There is lasting shame involved in this spectacle.” Not to ever, ever profess superiority over Sarris, but I’ve nonetheless compiled today’s list as a way of proving the man wrong. There are actually tons and tons of masturbation scenes found in non-porn movies, from the low brow to the high brow, from as indirect as the boy wizard playing with his wand under the covers in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to as direct as the non-simulated masturbation in Michael Winterbottom’s 9 Songs and John Cameron Mitchell’s Shortbus (which would probably feature my #1 pick, from the sound of it, if I ev " [More]

    "One of the reasons I decided to review Sundance trailers throughout the festival was to hopefully draw attention to some deserving films that I’d want to see if I was in Park City this week. Unfortunately, it has so far been difficult to find appealing-looking movie trailers — or maybe it’s just actually difficult to find appealing-looking movies this year (could that be the reason for the lack of deals?). And so, I present you today with a trailer for a movie that looks far from appealing. Maybe instead of pointing to a movie for you to see, this can serve to point to a movie for you to avoid. I guess every year Sundance needs some kind of uncomfortable movie dealing with sex. After all, it was sex, lies and videotape that helped put the festival on the map. But boy is that film’s subject matter tame compared to some of the selections of late. When I was at the festival in 2005, I watched all but maybe two people walk out of Michael Winterbottom’s 9 Songs, a film that features act ... " [More]

    "Michael Winterbottom is possibly the most exciting director to emerge from the United Kingdom in the last ten years. Prolific (by U.K standards) and already responsible for an eclectic oeuvre Winterbottom seems determined not to be shoe-horned into being seen as a purveyor of any particular genre. 9 Songs follows the arc of a relationship between a young American girl and an Englishman who meet at a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club gig at the Shephards Bush Empire. At the screening I attended Winterbottom introduced the film as his attempt to tell a love story minus what he considers the superfluous elements such as storyline, character development or any real narrative structure at all. What this leaves us with are a series of vignettes devoted almost entirely to the couples lovemaking, intercut with concert footage of various bands performing at the Empire (The aforementioned B.R.M.C,Franz Ferdinand etc.) by way of suggesting the passage of time. It's an audacious conceit and the ... " [More]

    "I finally got to catch The Road to Guantanamo last night. This docu-drama was directed by Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People, Wonderland and 9 Songs) and Mat Whitecross. The film tells the story of 3 young men from England (but of Pakistani descent) who find themselves in the middle of Kondoz, Afghanistan (a Taliban stronghold) in the midst o the American attachs in 2001. As a result, they spent years in the prisons of Sheberghan and Guantanamo and were subjected to most of the now infamous interrogation techniques. What I found most interesting about this film was the use of a wide range of story-telling elements. From reena " [More]
