The Unstuffiest List of the 500 Best Movies Ever
We don’t know about you, but we love lists; especially ones that deal with the greatest movies of all time. Luckily for us, Empire Magazine has given us a massive list of just that! For their “Top 500 Greatest Movies of All Time” feature, the magazine interviewed 150 Hollywood industry veterans (including Sam Mendes, Cameron Crowe and Quentin Tarantino), 50 select film critics, and of course, 10,000 Empire readers. As a result, the rankings aren’t nearly as stuffy as other lists, like the AFI Top-10

Sam Mendes is trying to wear me down.
Sam Mendes has all the makings of a director I should love - but somehow I just don’t. Road to Perdition is one of those movies that I always “mean” to watch, yet never quite get there. I truly couldn’t stand American Beauty and Revolutionary Road looked good, but then negative buzz about the movie kinda killed it for me. So I feel conflicted by this Away We Go trailer, which really and truly looks like a movie I would enjoy and really maybe even love....

The Verdict: Could this year mark the renaissance of Dave Eggers? Between the release of this picture (which he co-wrote with his wife, Vendela Vida) and the planned release of Where the Wild Things Are (fingers crossed!), everything seems to be coming up Eggers these days. The film stars a fully bearded John...

Why The Runaways Biopic Could Rock
Michael Shannon's scene-stealing performances over the years finally earned him a well-deserved Oscar nod for last year's supporting role in Revolutionary Road, Sam Mendes's exhausting ode to suburban ennui. Well, now he's about to kick out the jams in The Runaways, the biopic about the most cherry-bombin' girl group ever, the Runaways. The cast of The Runaways , as it stands now in any case, is a bit hard to wrap my mind around. Kristen Stewart is playing legendary guitarist Joan...

You can read about him here. Now Anorak’s freind in the US, 14, writes from the US about how one of her satirical works - the Urban Satchel -  has been accepted as true by the mainstream press. Much to my delight, an alert reader has informed me that the NY Edition of The Metro has used my Urban Satchel in a fluff a
