“Summer Hours”: Juliette Binoche Returns.
April 4, 2009 By 1 Comment
Is there any better big screen actress working today than Juliette Binoche? I'd like to hear your idea of who you think has a better record of great performances... in great films. Last year, she showed up in Hou Hsiao-Hsien's Flight of the Red Balloon and astonished me again. This year, it's Oliver Assayas' Summer Hours, which a few friends have already highly recommended to me. I can't wait. Fans of the Dardennes Brothers should note: Jérémie Renier is in this film as … [Read more...]

“Wall-E” has a Trailer
June 16, 2007 By 1 Comment
And here it is. Wow. What a powerful little teaser. Gives me flashbacks to the '80s... Short Circuit and E.T., specifically. And this one's directed by Andrew Stanton, who gave us Finding Nemo. I can't wait. As I work on stories in The Auralia Thread, I often find myself stopping to ask, "What would Pixar do?"
