First Glimpse of ‘Grown Ups’
Friday, November 13th, 2009Collapse
Thursday, November 12th, 2009Collapse is an intriguing, topical documentary that might be coming out just a little early or a bit late. Director Chris Smith was researching a narrative about drug dealers when he came across Michael Ruppert, a former cop, noted conspiracy buff and unheeded Cassandra whose tiny newsletter predicted that fancy financial instruments like mortgage-backed securities were going to take down the US and global economy. He turned out to be right, and Smith found in interviewing Ruppert that there was a greater subject to be mined from what he originally thought was just another would-be expert on drugs and corruption within the LAPD
Dare

MGM Set to Land on Chopping Block
Thursday, November 12th, 2009Source: Variety After struggling through years of financial woes, it should come as no surprise that MGM is going to be auctioned off in the next couple of weeks. Whether one of the major studios scoops it up or an independent investor steps in, the winning bidder will ultimately take hold of the studio’s library of 4,000 titles. MGM recently failed to capitalize on the recent demand for musicals with Fame , which has grossed a paltry $22.3 million domestically

Four Seasons Lodge
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009You can’t do survivors guilt soft. But watching the afflicted cry buckets when recounting one of humanity’s unpardonable atrocities isn’t going to keep a broad audience, either
