Greatest Active Film Directors
Entertainment Weekly recently came out with a list of its “25 Greatest Active Film Directors.” It’s a horrible list. The ordering, the omissions – it’s borderline offensive. As a public service, I have both corrected EW’s list and expanded it to the top 50. Seriously, no need to thank me.
Best Valentine’s Day Movies
Second only perhaps to Halloween, Valentine’s Day is a great day for watching movies. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, who wants to brave the crowds of couples paying for expensive dinners when you can stay in, have a home-cooked meal, and pop in a movie? Here now, two V-Day movie lists – one for those who have found real love, and one for the loveless (but not at all bitter about it).
The Year in Film
This was not a year of perfect, universally adored movies. The best films of the year all contain the kinds of quirky appeal that tend to divide audiences, and all of them are flawed. But quirky, flawed movies can often be the most compelling, interesting, and endearing.
The Year in People
A look back on the year’s most influential and newsworthy people in America and around the world.
Top 50 Film Commentaries
With both Milk and Frost/Nixon opening nationwide this coming weekend, I thought it would be fitting to take a look back at some of the best social or political commentaries to appear on the big screen.
Top 12 Horror Movies
So I realize it’s a little late to deliver a list of my favorite horror movies given that Halloween was yesterday. But because Halloween was yesterday, I was watching some horror movies I’d never seen before, and wanted to be able to include them here. This list is complete with some brief thoughts from yours truly, as well as clips and trailers. I of course haven’t seen every scary movie ever made, so there may be some glaring omissions here, but I think it’s a pretty solid list.
