  • Blood on the beach

    From a dizzying reinvention of the Mafia film to Tony Manero as serial killer to the death of Bobby Sands, it's a violent spring at Cannes.
  • Indy and the Martian Inca mummies -- vs. the French!

    "Indy 4" premieres, Harrison Ford charms the Euro-throngs and Cannes surrenders to celebutainment silliness.
  • Woody Allen and Mike Tyson, together at last

    A marriage made in Cannes: Two notorious tabloid-fodder Yanks are showered with love on the Riviera.
  • Grief, cancer, Nietzsche and Santa

    Arnaud Desplechin's wrenching "Christmas Tale" might just be a dysfunctional-family masterpiece.
  • Cannes opens with a dud -- but delights follow

    "Blindness" is an apocalyptic horror flick, rendered dull and pretentious. But an astonishing animated war film and a gripping prison drama provide the fireworks.
  • Yes we Cannes!

    Indiana Jones meets art cinema as the world's leading festival offers its most exciting lineup in years.
  • In-flight reading

    I'm en route to Cannes, to watch movies, drink wine and blog like crazy. Poor me!
  • 10 to watch from Tribeca

    A hot Swedish girlfriend (who's undead), a Spanish math thriller, getting high with Ben Kingsley and the rest of the best from NYC's spring fest.
  • No "Sex" on the beach at Cannes

    Fernando Meirelles' "Blindness," starring Julianne Moore, to open Cannes fest, with Barry Levinson's "What Just Happened?" as the closer.
  • He conquered the World Trade Center

    "Man on Wire" and its daredevil star thrill Tribeca, but Mamet's "Redbelt" is a jiu-jitsu pratfall. Plus: Is Brecht still relevant?
  • What's hot (and not) at Tribeca

    "Speed Racer" zooms, David Mamet knows kung fu, a Fellini rediscovery and much more at New York's downsized (but still glitzy) spring fest.
  • Indy, Clint and Che hit the Côte d'Azur

    Eastwood's "Changeling" and Soderbergh's four-hour "Che" top an impressive Eurocentric lineup at 61st Cannes festival.
  • From the Riviera to Abu Ghraib

    This week: Cannes announces its selections (almost), Tribeca kicks off, and Errol Morris plumbs the dark secrets behind those torture photos.
  • Cannes rumors: No Coens, but "Indy 4" and "Sex" likely

    Now "Burn After Reading" probably won't premiere in France. Will Spielberg or Sarah Jessica claim opening night?
  • Still has a mouth, and still must scream

    Science-fiction legend Harlan Ellison on the new movie starring himself as a "funny, weird old guy" -- and how the WGA wound up as Hollywood's "bitches."
  • Has success ruined America's friendliest filmfest?

    No! Bring on the Tex-Mex, tequila and oddball movies -- Bigfoot! Bong jokes! Even a few big stars! -- that make South by Southwest so fun.
  • Beyond the Multiplex

    A movie about the Bush-Cheney policy of torture that will make you shake with rage. Plus: Alec Baldwin's unintended laugh lines.
  • Beyond the Multiplex

    Howard Stern and Tiki Barber take in Adam Carolla's "The Hammer." Plus: A dark indie from an "Entourage" actor and a compelling doc about U.S. soldiers.
  • Beyond the Multiplex

    A powerful mystery-thriller -- and major festival hit -- about sex, violence, revenge and guilt. Plus: Douglas Coupland puts Gen-X angst on the big screen.
  • Beyond the Multiplex

    Would you rather see a movie about a gun-wielding hobo or a bunch of muttering, relationship-challenged 20-somethings?
  • Bringing it all back home

    Hollywood saves its splashy openings for U.S. shores.
