Jeanne-Claude -- Christo's collaborator and partner -- died today in Manhattan at the age of 74. It was fitting, in a way, not only because the artist pair have been residents of the city since 1964, ...

Bemoaning the failures of the Oscars in the Best Documentary department has become an annual ritual, like spazzing about filing your income taxes or dusting off stale jokes about March Madness obsessi...

Nothing says 1969 like "Easy Rider," the bad-trip Altamont to the ebullient celebration of the next year's "Woodstock." While the hippies were partying down, Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda and Jack Nichol...

There's never been a better time to indulge in a little Italian cinema, at least if you live on the coasts. For New Yorkers, that's meant classics from the likes of Visconti, Rossellini and Pietro Ger...

"Dazed and Confused" is effectively beloved by everyone who's seen it -- including me -- so I got uber-excited about the prospect of Richard Linklater making a "spiritual sequel." And now it's dead on...

Being unreasonably easy to scare, I'm a soft touch when it comes to horror movies and basically refuse to have anything to do with them at this point, but "The Exorcist" is one movie that's never bugg...

As you're doubtless aware, the weekend saw "Precious" making $6.1 million from a measly 174 screens, doing well on its probable journey towards Best Picture; "Fantastic Mr. Fox" did well too, pulling ...

I work at home, so I love Twitter: it's a great way to break up the monotony of one room, one laptop and eight hours. If you're a user, you know that on the right-hand side of the page there's a list ...

Greenpeace is a good organization that's kind of itchily annoying, the same way a college activist getting you to sign a worthy petition is -- a point driven home quite literally when Bruce Willis was...

Solstice Film Festival sprang on the film scene in 2006 and created an event that called St. Paul, Minnesota home for 3 very successful years. However, as SFF's Founder and Executive Director knows very well, "...in order to stay ahead of the game and a premier film event company, we have to stay on the pulse of the industry...and that means continuing to evolve with the industry..." .
