Original is far too understated a term to describe this picture, brought to you by the surreal, twisted minds of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and actor-director Spike Jonze. The story concerns a puppeteer, Craig Schwartz (John Cusack), who discovers his office has a secret portal that leads directly into the brain of one of .. Read more

John Malkovich is hoping to return to Istanbul, Turkey with a new opera featuring a local critic's harsh review of the actor's last production in the city. The Being John Malkovich star was floored by the criticism of The Infernal Comedy, in which he starred as part of the 17th International Istanbul Theatre Festival this summer (10) - but he has derived something positive out of it. The theatre critic's review will be part of a new opera, The Malkovich Torment, which the actor hopes to take... Read more
Over the course of more than two decades writing about films and interviewing filmmakers – hundreds and hundreds of them – Where the Wild Things director Spike Jonze stands out as one of the most difficult. We spoke for about half an hour, but mostly I spoke and he smiled, shrugged, or mumbled. It was as if he’d taken a vow of silence or something – or I was a cop and he was guilty as sin. Why?

Synecdoche (horribly pretentious title) was originally written for Jonze to direct, but he bailed when Where the Wild... Read more
There’s no one quite like Meryl Streep. A Masters graduate from Yale School of Drama, the actress has carved out a reputable career as one of the most successful women in Hollywood. Streep stands tall, shoulder-to-shoulder with several of her successful male counterparts, and has always endeavoured to take on the more challenging and thought-provoking roles out there, while at the same time proving her fun side with box office fluff such as Mamma Mia! We chart Streep’s amazing... Read more
