"Make no mistake, 2008 was the year of the woman. From politics to multiplex, they were the most newsworthy. At the box office, week after week brought about stories about how, mother of all shockers, women enjoy going to the movies too. From summer “event movies” (usually an exclusive boys tree house where "No Gurlz Allowd"), to record-breaking such as best opening for a female director, women were the new black at the box office. In 2008: Twilight was the highest-grossing film opening by a female director (at $70 million); It received the second-largest advanced ticket sales, trailing only The Dark Knight; Sex and the City was the best opening ever for an R-rated comedy; The SATC gals also debuted as the fifth best R-rated film of all time; The film also bested Mission Impossible as the best debut of a film based on a TV show. Now, perhaps next year we can do the same with good movies. Sex in the City was the female equivalent of Iron Man, replacing magical gad ... "

"I’ve spent the morning combing the various Sundance line-up overviews, wherein reporters for a variety of publications digest the four competition line-ups announced yesterday in an attempt to find an overarching theme/predictive slant which they can then hand-deliver to their mainly mainstream audiences. One thing I’ve learned: such stories should never be read back-to-back. “Sundance’s writers and directors are turning toward more uplifting narratives,” writes John Horn in the LA Times. Oh good! Oh, but wait — according to USA Today, “The comedies are dark, and the dramas are even darker at the annual showcase of low-budget moviemaking.” What am I supposed to believe? But seriously, folks. One observation from Horn’s story is worth a ponder: [Sundance programming director] Cooper says the festival’s 16 competition documentaries, selected from 879 submissions, continue the nonfiction filmmaking trend toward advocacy and away from impartial journalistic observation. “They are basi ...

"Ten years ago, I attended a book signing for Ray Manzarek’s memoir, Light My Fire: My Life with the Doors, and I asked the author/keyboardist why he doesn’t just make another movie about The Doors. Manzarek had spent most of the event complaining about Oliver Stone’s 1991 film, and he did graduate from film school, so I figured he’d at least thought about the idea. But he responded by saying he had other films he wanted to make, from original scripts he’d written. I’m pretty sure one of the scripts he mentioned then became his 2000 film Love Her Madly, which has a nice exploitive title. And now according to Billboard, he’s got four more scripts, including one based on either the song or album L.A. Woman (the best driving album of all time, IMHO) and another that sounds "

"One of my first “real” concert-going experiences (no offense, Power Station!) was witnessing U2 at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia during its “Joshua Tree” tour.Even though lead singer Bono was hobbled in an arm sling, the experience led to a passionate love affair with concert-going. I had since caught the band on two more occasions, but as their popularity (and egos) exploded, so did their stage shows. Their music and its messages (and U2 is nothing if not a band interested in sharing its beliefs to the masses) were consumed in a spectacle grand enough to embarrass a Cirque du Soleil clown.So after multiple attempts in trying to recapture that initial magical evening, I walked away from subsequent U2 concerts and I still hadn’t found what I was looking for.After witnessing “U23D,” now playing at the Dover Mall, all is forgiven.The film allowed me to experience the band in ways that could not have been replicated even with backstage passes &nd ...
