Movie

Inception

Directed by Christopher Nolan

What is combat in Afghanistan like? For those of us who have not been embedded as reporters, but want to know what our soldiers in this difficult war are up against, there is now Restrepo, a documentary film by Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger.

I recently complained about the tendency of filmmakers to deny the authorial intent of their films; it's one thing to make a truly ambiguous movie and then challenge the audience to discover for itself the meaning, but it's another thing entirely to simply deny the obvious point that you are making in your film.

Warren Beatty's world extends from the hotel in Beverly Hills where he lived for thirty years all the way to the House in Beverly Hills where he now resides. The man who won an Oscar for directing Reds, the endless 1981 movie glorifying the Russian Revolution that would murder more than sixty million people in seventy years, has now brought forth a labor of love called Bulworth.
