| Title | The Artist |
| Film Director | Michel Hazanavicius |
How do we experience?
Honestly, I have been trying to think of a clever way to write this piece without words. But it might take a little dialogue to contemplate the value of no dialogue.
If you are unaware, The Artist is a silent film about the silent (film) era. It's set...

| Title | Hugo |
| Film Director | Martin Scorcese |
Can I be fixed?
Let’s be honest. Martin Scorcese and “family friendly” have never gone hand in hand. But what Scorcese forgoes in his familiar, often violent, style with the release of Hugo, he gains in subject matter.In fact, what is seemingly a kid flick at first glance, is arguably more...

Where will your curiosity lead you?
In 2006 The National Science Foundation sent documentarian Werner Herzog to the South Pole with some doubt as to whether he wouldn’t “come up with another movie about penguins.” Herzog, in his gravelly, German-accented narration, continues this recount: “My questions about nature, I let them...

If you knew someone was doing something wrong would you tell?

| Title | Another Earth |
| Film Director | Mike Cahill |
What if we were not alone, really?
Let’s play the “What if?” game for a minute. What if there was life on another planet? (Seen this film already.) What if we could communicate with other planets? (Nothing new.)

| Title | The 39 Steps |
Where’s the twist?
I was about a third of the way through The 39 Steps when my wife, Kate, walked into the basement where two friends had joined me to take in Hitchcock’s world. She asked us the natural question—how’s the movie?

Most of us will never face the spectacular decision which confronted the monks of Tibhirine. Based on events in Algeria in 1995, OfGods and Men is the story of a grave choice: Do the monks return home to France OR remain in their village, risking death...

| Title | A Hard Day's Night |
| Film Director | Richard Lester |
What would it feel like to be famous?
Come on, admit it, you’ve fantasized about the idea. Wouldn’t it be fun and exhilarating as well as surreal? Along the way you’d realize fame is a prison of sorts, from which you’d desperately want to break free. All of that is in...
