Finnish sci-fi film about Nazis who have been living on the dark side of the moon since the end of the Second World War has turned out to be the unlikely hot ticket of this year's Berlin Film Festival. Iron Sky sold out faster than movies directed by...
He also has one of the most diverse bodies of work of any actor of his generation. Mr. Cage, 48, has won an Oscar (for "Leaving Las Vegas") and he has directed a movie (2002's "Sonny," about a male prostitute played by James Franco). He has made films...
"That was a first," Jean said. Assange joins a mind-boggling roster of guest stars who've been on over the decades, one that reads like an encyclopedia of popular culture. Bob Hope, Paul Newman, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Steven Jay...
But Teuton filmmakers (think Werner Herzog's "The Cave of Forgotten Dreams" and Wim Wenders' Oscar-nommed "Pina") have been at the vanguard of re-imagining the use of the format, exploring a new sense of space that might be seen as first steps in the...
...his countryman Werner Herzog , Wim Wenders was among the most adventurous and intellectually daring directors of the German New Wave of the '70s and '80s, and has devoted much of his energy in recent years to making documentaries -- some about music (including...
The most famous non-nominees include “The Thin Blue Line,” “Roger & Me,” “28 Up,” “Hoop Dreams” and “Grizzly Man,” and it’s absolutely not coincidental that I’ve just cited films by Moore, Werner Herzog, Steve James and Errol Morris, all of them...
It's just boring. Then there's Nicolas Cage. Sometimes he's just the best, and sometimes he's phoning it in like this is the worst B-movie he's ever been in. Cage is brilliant in the right hands (such as Werner Herzog's in Bad Lieutenant), but...
There's some crazy shit that goes down in this movie that I just loved - and if you're someone that doesn't think GHOST RIDER is automatically stupid... give it a shot. It is far better than the last film would lead you to believe. Perhaps 3rd time...

The issue with these films (guilty pleasures, both of them) is that Cage plays second fiddle to an onslaught of special effects. Say what you will about Cage’s career as of late, but when he overacts, he tempts a reasonable person to utilize nuclear...

It was a typical year where the narrow-down process was concerned. Controversy indeed met the list of finalists that dropped in November, which snubbed critics' favorites "Senna" and "The Interrupters" (the latest smack in the face of filmmaker Steve...

Then the film’s a strange, zonked study of contemporary distrust and isolation, in which nothing anyone says can quite be believed, and then it’s a swooningly romantic tale of savannah trysts in the Out of Africa/White Mischief mould, about a rich...
