Telling a Story-Little Films
Films that are dependent on story and story alone are what I think of as little films.
Claire Danes in Polish Wedding

Inception-So Let’s Think About This
The movie is about the ultimate dream. An ad agencies last wish. It’s Apples’ Success. What makes this movie so successful is that what it proposes is what we all deep down want to be able to do (that is 3 levels down). For the theater operators tuning in–Making the sound as loud...

The brothers Affleck – Ben directs, and Casey stars – are responsible for this turbulent film. Based on a Dennis Lehane book, “Gone Baby Gone” starts as a child abduction case – a little girl goes missing in Boston, can she be found in enough time? (The longer a child is missing,...
