"On Friday evening, I moderated a panel at the Denver Film Festival called DIY FIlmmaking in an Indie Apocalypse. I pitched the panel to the festival in the hopes that by talking to actual filmmakers who have recently made moderately successful films (mostly) independent of the system that the “sky is falling” fatalism insists is broken, we could start to expand this dialogue beyond doomcasting and push towards options and solutions. I’m not sure we repaired the ever-expanding crack in the firmament in one night, but certainly the six filmmakers who took the stage offered a new perspective on the supposed crisis. You can listen to a recording of the full panel here, but if you don’t have 73 minutes to spare, after the jump I’ve isolated what I think were five major themes of the evening. Here’s more info on the filmmakers and their films: David Pomes, director of Cook County. Jason Goodman, director and co-star of The Eternal City. < "

"Not only one of the best films I've seen recently, but one of the best I've ever seen. After a string of Spring '08 stinkers just viewed on DVD, Soderbergh's last effort in the '90s is right up there with Traffic as his best film. I'd seen Terence Stamp in plenty of films over the past 15 years, but each time I wondered why he was considered such a big name. His turns in Bowfinger and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace felt tiny and phoned in. The Limey put aside any doubts that Stamp is a legend, beginning with his steely look and solidified by his gruff, blunt voice. It's a captivating performance and now one of my favorites. Additionally, this is Soderbergh at his most inventive and free. There are no signs of studio interference throughout the work, leaving the director to experiment with cinematography, editing, and pacing to craft an overall brilliant piece. As Matthew Tobey says in the All Movie Guide, The Limey was perhaps Soderbergh's indie swan song before gain ... "
