Quoted: Fans and critics frequently disagree. The tension between them, more acute than ever in the Internet age, seems ripe for exploration. To start the discussion, we asked The Dallas Morning News' critics to respond to some of the most common fan beefs.

Quoted: 2008: Man With a Movie Camera is a participatory video shot by people around the world who are invited to record video according to the original script of Vertov’s Man With A Movie Camera and submit it to a website which will archive, sequence and deliver the submissions to The Big Screen (www.bbc.co.uk/bigscreens/) in 2007-08. When the work streams your contribution becomes part of a worldwide montage, in Vertov’s terms the ”decoding of life as it is”.

Quoted: Moore covers a lot of ground. Our team investigated some of the claims put forth in his film. We found that his numbers were mostly right, but his arguments could use a little more context. As we dug deep to uncover the numbers, we found surprisingly few inaccuracies in the film. In fact, most pundits or health-care experts we spoke to spent more time on errors of omission rather than disputing the actual claims in the film.

spoilers! lol. planning to see this.

Quoted: Brian W. Aldiss examines literature and cinema's ongoing fascination with tales of ecological disaster and global apocalypse

Quoted: A vivacious and charismatic magazine editor, Bauby is stricken at 43 with the cerebro-vascular incident that first plunges him into a coma and then leaves him with what is called "locked-in syndrome." His brain works perfectly but his body doesn't, save the left eye. It is from that eye's point-of-view that the film is almost entirely told and Janusz Kaminski's cinematography does marvels in suggesting the suffocating horror of Bauby's predicament and the wide variety of images that bring him joy and hope.

from the bad boy of neo-expressionism-turned-film director julian schnabel. this movie has received awesome reviews at cannes and landed schnabel the best director award. can't wait until it's out in the theatre.

Quoted: The line between fact and cliché has always been rather tenuous when it comes to movies about famous musicians, considering that so many have tread the same self-destructive path. While their event-filled, often tragic stories entice filmmakers, they also complicate the task of transcending material that can seem old hat or veer into parody.
