Maybe Michael Moore should team up with Roland Emmerich for a “2012″ companion movie. Word is that Moore’s follow-up to “Fahrenheit 9/11″ was originally supposed to focus on foreign policy. But since the economy’s nose-dive in recent months, he’s decided to focus on that instead.
The still-untitled project is said to contain an end-of-the-empire […]
Several web sites linking to Michael Moore’s freebie film Slacker Uprising have received cease-and-desist letters demanding removal of the links.

I’ve been a big fan of Captain Abu Raed ever since I first watched the film and talked with director Amin Matalqa. It’s the touching story of an airport janitor who’s mistaken for an airline pilot by a group of kids living in his neighborhood. As he begins to weave fantastic stories for the […]
I saw Terra at the Traverse City Film Festival a few weeks ago. It’s a beautiful, animated tale about a race of peace-loving aliens on a distant planet. Humans were forced off the earth eons ago, and are now looking for a place to settle, as their life support system will soon expire on […]

He called me around 11:30 p.m., just moments after arriving in Traverse City.
Jane: Hi, […]
I’m still recovering from the Traverse City Film Festival, which ended last night with the final film, Encounters at the End of the World, a fantastic documentary by Werner Herzog. I’ll continue posting reviews for the films I saw over the next week or so.
Overall, the film festival organizers did a superb job. […]
Madonna caused a major stir in Traverse City, Michigan by appearing at the restored State Theatre to introduce her film, I Am Because We Are, at the Traverse City Film Festival.
Folks waited in line for days to score seats to the event, and weren’t disappointed. She showed up as scheduled, wearing a black […]
