Features: Sarah Polley's Uncompromising Vision
By Daniel Nemet-Nejat
After becoming a child star in her native Canada, Sarah Polley captured the attention of the world with her quietly powerful performance as a paralyzed girl in Atom Egoyan's The Sweet Hereafter. Now she's making her feature film debut as a writer-director and, true to form, her choice of subject matter is against the grain.
Features: Celebrating An Icon
By Joe Leydon
A man can die, but his movies will always remain in the present tense. That is why, in the case of John Wayne-whose centennial we celebrate on May 26, nearly 28 years after his demise-you can point to the precise moment when the man became an icon.
Features: The Universal Language of Film Has a Mexican Accent
By Bob Fisher
Whether he's raising $7,000 to shoot an indie film in Mexico with a group of friends or helping alfonso Cuarón spend a $70 million budget on Children of Men, for cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, it's all about the images.
Features: The Duke
By Joe Leydon
His gritty, gruff demeanor and that this-is-a-man-coming-through swagger defined not only the Western for decades (and in many ways still does), but American manhood in general. Wayne's roles in Westerns such as Stagecoach, The Searchers, True Grit, Red River and Rio Bravo, along with war movies like The Longest Day, The High and the Mighty and Sands of Iwo Jima, created an image of Man unlike any seen before. Man was action, Man was the leader, Man simply was.
Arrested Development
By David Fear
British writer-director Edgar Wright and actor-writer Simon Pegg's affectionate satire of zombie movies, 2004's Shaun of the Dead, revolved around a simple question: what would happen if an average bloke was suddenly thrust into your typical the-dead-have-risen- and-they-crave-our- delicious-flesh scenario? with their latest film, Hot Fuzz, they reverse the equation: what would happen if an extraordinary man-in this case, London's most dedicated supercop-suddenly found himself stuck in a town where nothing ever happened?
Features: My Golden Rules
By Kevin Smith
Edit while you're still shooting. On every flick since Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, I've been editing while still in the midst of production. I'm not talking about some hired editor piecing together an assembly while I'm on set, either. I mean that whenever I'm not shooting, I'm in the editing room with my footage. While the crew is taking 15 minutes to an hour to set up the next shot, I'm behind the Avid, putting the flick together.
