Be Kind Rewind
- 14 Feb 2008
It's better to create than to consume, that's the liberating message in Michel Gondry's new comedy, though this declaration of independence inadvertently highlights some of the drawbacks associated with "am-auteurs". There's an authentic touch of genius in Michel Gondry. He's like one of those mad inventors in old black and white movies, devising brilliant contraptions of no practical use to man or beast.

Morgan Almighty
- 30 Jul 2007
Several actors have played God over the years, including Graham Chapman, Charlton Heston, George Burns, Alanis Morissette, and even Groucho Marx. (Danny Boyle and Andrew Macdonald tried to cast Sean Connery as the Almighty in A Life Less Ordinary but he was having none of it.) No one has played Him Upstairs with more genial simplicity and grace than Morgan Freeman. In Bruce Almighty he even handed over his powers to a disbelieving Jim Carrey. No such luck for Steve Carell's Evan Baxter in the... Read more
