		<description><![CDATA[Woody Allen, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, and Terry Gilliam have added their names to the petition, organized by France&#8217;s Société des Auteurs et Compositeurs Dramatiques (SACD), demanding the release of Palme d&#8217;Or and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Roman Polanski, currently in the custody of Swiss authorities. 
In 1978, Polanski pleaded guilty to a charge of statutory rape (sex with a minor) of  13-year-old Samantha Gailey (now Geimer), whom he allegedly drugged before having sex with her against her will. Polanski, who at the time claimed that the sex was consensual and that he was led to believe that the 13-year-old was 18, reportedly fled the United States upon learning, after spending 42 days in prison, that [...]]]></description>

David Carradine in Bound for Glory

David Carradine,  the star of the 1970s TV series Kung Fu (right), was found hanged in his Bangkok hotel room early this morning. According to reports, there was no evidence of foul play at the scene. Carradine, who was in the Thai capital working on a film, was 72.
Born in Los Angeles on Dec. 8, 1936, Carradine was the son of actor John Carradine, best known for playing assorted evildoers and mad doctors in dozens of films from the 1930s to the 1980s. David Carradine&#8217;s brothers are also actors: Keith Carradine, among whose credits is Robert Altman&#8217;s classic Nashville, and Robert Carradine, best known for his role in the Revenge of the Nerds movies.

Derek Elley on Looking for Eric (above, Ken Loach and Eric Cantona) in Variety:
&#34;&#8230; helmer Ken Loach and writer Paul Laverty&#8217;s ninth feature together is  a curious hybrid: Three movies &#8212; boilerplate, socially aware Loach;  personal fantasy; romantic comedy &#8212; wrap around a central core of a  hopeless soccer fanatic who&#8217;s given a second chance to sort out his  life. As in many of Laverty&#8217;s scripts, problems of overall tone and  character development aren&#8217;t solved by Loach&#8217;s easygoing direction,  though when it works, Eric has many incidental pleasures.&#34;

Anthony Kaufman on A Prophet at indieWIRE:
&#34;If James Toback’s petty-criminal tale Fingers inspired Jacques  Audiard’s previous The Beat That My Heart Skipped, it’s Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas [...]]]></description>

Martin Scorsese&#8217;s 2004 Best Picture nominee The Aviator is the next feature in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences&#8216; &#34;Great To Be Nominated&#34; series. The handsome but vapid Howard Hughes biopic will be screened on Monday, July 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy&#8217;s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. 
Following the screening, cast members Alec Baldwin, Jacob Davich, J.C. Mackenzie, and Amy Sloan, production sound mixer Petur Hliddal, special effects supervisor R. Bruce Steinheimer, and miniature effects supervisor Matthew Gratzner will take part in a discussion about the film.
The US$100-million-plus The Aviator wasn&#8217;t quite the hoped-for critical and box-office hit, though the biopic won numerous accolades and did good business thanks to the casting of Leonardo DiCaprio [...]]]></description>

Leonardo DiCaprio in The Departed

Well on his way to his first Academy Award, last night Martin Scorsese received the Directors Guild of America&#8217;s feature-film top honors for The Departed, Scorsese&#8217;s way overrated I-can-smell-a-rat gangster flick that the director himself has referred to as his &#34;B-movie.&#34; (And despite the presence of stellar names such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nicholson, that&#8217;s really what The Departed is &#8212; though without the flair of some of the better crime B&#8217;s of the &#8217;40s and &#8217;50s.) 
Needless to say, Scorsese&#8217;s DGA win &#8212; much like his by now inevitable Oscar win &#8212; should be seen as a career award instead of recognition for a single achievement. It was Scorsese&#8217;s seventh DGA nomination, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unless things change dramatically (and no, I&#8217;m not referring only to environmental chaos and apocalyptic wars), 30 or 40 years from now Martin Scorsese is going to be the best remembered name of the current top-five Oscar directors for actors. (The others being William Wyler, Elia Kazan, George Cukor, and Fred Zinnemann.)
In addition to having the most recent career &#8212; cultural amnesia is invariably a factor &#8212; Scorsese is the single director among the top five whose films can been categorized as belonging to a particular genre. Better yet, Scorsese&#8217;s forte is that much-revered tough-guy cinema.
And ain&#8217;t Scorsese&#8217;s men tough.

Everything &#8212; at least as far as the winners were concerned &#8212; went according to plan at the 2007 Golden Globe awards ceremony. That is, until the very last winner of the evening was announced: Babel.

As the evening progressed, Babel lost to Dreamgirls (best supporting actress Jennifer Hudson and best supporting actor Eddie Murphy), The Departed (best director Martin Scorsese), The Queen (best screenplay, Peter Morgan), and even The Painted Veil (best music, Alexandre Desplat).

(In The Envelope, Tom O&#8217;Neil states that DGA members, who weren&#8217;t able to receive screeners this year, didn&#8217;t get a chance to check out Letters from Iwo Jima, which opened late in December.)

2006 Boston Society of Film Critics Award winners: December 10, 2006
&#160;

Perhaps hoping to lure more major Hollywood productions to their hometown, the Boston Society of Film Critics picked Martin Scorsese&#8217;s Warner Bros. gangster thriller The Departed as the best film of the year. This inane tale of moles and rats in both the Boston police force and that city&#8217;s underworld, was adapted by William Monahan from Wai Keung Lau and Siu Fai Mak&#8217;s 2002 Hong Kong thriller  Infernal Affairs. The Departed also (undeservedly) won in the best director, best screenplay, and best supporting actor (Mark Wahlberg) categories, but at least the Boston critics had enough sense to keep Jack Nicholson&#8217;s horrendous caricature (above, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[U.S. film critics continue to make a few curious choices. 
At the 2006 New York Film Critics Circle Awards, announced earlier today, the most interesting winner was the best foreign language film: the somber 1969 French Resistance drama L&#8217;Armée des ombres / Army of Shadows, adapted for the screen (from a novel by Joseph Kessel) and directed by Jean-Pierre Melville. Both Melville (born Grumbach) and Kessel were French Jews who joined the Resistance in 1941. 
Though made more than 35 years ago, L&#8217;Armée des ombres was only this year released in the United States. Yesterday, the film won a Special Mention from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
