"Happy autumn! Today marked the fall equinox for the Northern hemisphere, and while the season can be a depressing one for mainstream moviegoers (at least until Thanksgiving ushers in the holiday blockbusters and Oscar-bait releases), it is otherwise a wonderful time of the year. Having grown up in New England, I’ve always had a great appreciation for the changing leaves, the brisk weather, the pumpkin and apple picking and the foodie holidays (as a rather chunky kid, I really only liked Halloween for the candy and Thanksgiving for the stuffing of my face). I even looked forward to going back to school every September. But autumn can be a great season for cinephiles, too, despite the significant lack of worthwhile theatrical releases. For one thing, the colder weather, particularly the colder nights, keeps us indoors more often for DVD watching. For another thing, the season has lent itself nominally and spirtually to some great films by the likes of Ozu, Bergman and Rohmer, among o ... "

"The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York began a celebration this week of the distributor Zeitgeist Films 20th anniversary with a retrospective of some of their best releases from over the years. Friday night, Todd Haynes presented two of his earlier films from the Zeitgeist collection, the short Dottie Gets Spanked and the controversial feature Poison , both shot by the great indie cinematographer Maryse Alberti, who most recently lensed Alex Gibney's documentary Taxi to the Darkside and whom I've had the personal privilege to work with on two short films in my own early days of i "

"It's not just a Douglas Sirk ripoff, Far From Heaven works completely on it's own. Beautiful & truly powerful it hits harder than it's predecessors. One of my favorite films from the past few years. "

"One thing, maybe the thing, that makes The Good German perplexing is that its best quality, the meticulous recreation of a 40s international noir ala Casablanca (1942) or The Third Man (1949), is also its biggest weakness.There are some beautiful and authentic images in the film, but there are others that verge on parody (mostly those involving rear projection; sorry no stills or screen grabs available - I popped the film back into the mail before thinking I might want it). By itself, that wouldn't be a problem except that director Steven Soderbergh and writer Paul Attanasio haven't rethought the films they reference so much as attempted to reproduce them, but with the jarring addition of language, violence, and sex that wouldn't have been allowed in the 1940s. Unlike, say, homosexuality (and, really, race) in Far From Heaven (2002) or the disappearing blandness of Ed (Billy Bob Thornton) in The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), the updating and revisioning of genre in The "
