02.18.10Johnny Depp to Direct Keith Richards Doc Sean | News | (1)After narrating a handful of documentaries including the Hunter S. Thompson doc Gonzo and the upcoming Doors film When You're Strange, it looks like Johnny Depp is feeling the itch to direct one of his own.

Reports about the documentary first surfaced on a Serbian website, and were later confirmed by Variety. Not much is known about the film, but Depp says that his editor is "already working on ...

02.17.10American Grindhouse Trailer Charlotte | Trailers | (7)Ooh I cannot wait to see this. It's always great to watch a trailer knowing there's a high likelihood you're going to have a lot of fun watching the film, let alone the subject matter being something I adore. From the moment I saw the archive clip of the news item saying "It has been reported that a man has gone bezerk while watching a double-feature horror programme" I was in. Narrated by Robert Forster, American Grindhouse boasts an incredible list of interviewees, many of whom are speaking on-camera for the first time.

02.10.1011/4/08 Trailer Charlotte | Trailers | (1)11/4/08 is one of the films premiering at this year's SXSW and one I really want to see. The premiere sees it's debut as a film, but this is actually much more than a documentary, or even a piece of cinema. Jeff Deutchman has created an ongoing project with 11/4/08 in an effort to look at the ways you can capture history. It's an incredibly interesting project that will have a life beyond the film itself. 11/4/08 is primarily comprised of footage from 19 different contributing filmmakers, from 14 cities around the world, on the day of the US election and ...
