Metal documentary Anvil! gets trailer

With hard rock in their hearts, Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner met as high school students in 1973 Toronto. In 1978, they started Lips, which was soon signed to Attic Records.

Watch the trailer for Season 5 of Lost

Last season, Lost really hit its stride. Despite the strike-shortened season, the producers and writers seemed confidently in charge of the story, and they didn't waste a single episode like they have in the past (I'm looking at you, Nikki and Paulo). And the show hit its emotional peak as well with the Desmond and Penny romance, particularly in "The Constant" and the season finale....  read more

Watch the trailer for Nortorious

A film on the life of the Notorious B.I.G. seems alternatively like a no-brainer and doomed before it’s even released. Judging from the brief, new teaser trailer for Notorious, the first fiction film about the rapper since his 1997 murder, it looks to be a little of both. The heavy-handed trailer fuses faux-hip-hop-video tropes with an apparently affectionate portrait of the late star....  read more

First optioned for film in 1967, Richard Yates’s classic novel Revolutionary Road has had a long run-up to the screen. Published almost contemporary to its action in 1961 and yet starkly modern in thought, the story concerns a husband and wife in suburban Connecticut circa 1955, she deeply discontent with the social prerogatives of the period, he more and more immersed in them....  read more

Watch the trailer for Synecdoche, New York

When Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) decided to direct one of his screenplays for the first time, it wasn’t clear exactly what would happen. And now, a completed film and two major festival runs later, it’s still not clear what did happen—reviews out of Cannes and Toronto were as wild as the movie apparently is, and even the people who seem to admire the film aren’t sure what to make of it....  read more

Despite controversy, Warner Bros. sticks with Towelhead

When a small movie called Nothing is Private debuted at the Toronto Film Festival last year, it didn't exactly come quietly. For one thing, the man behind it was Alan Ball, the writer of American Beauty and creator of Six Feet Under, who made a name for himself with subversive dramas unafraid of the darker aspects of American life. And its subject, a 13-year-old Lebanese-American girl who must sift through ethnic and sexual tension in early-’90s Houston, left even seasoned festival audiences a little squeamish....  read more
