2 April 2009 10:39 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

The Nw Film Center along with the Institute for Judaic Studies brings you the 17th Annual Portland Jewish Film Festival.

The big film this year might just be another chance to see Waltz with Bashir on the big screen. Some feel this was the best animated film of 2008 … yes, even better than Wall-e. Others think it was the top documentary.

Here’s a complete list of films … each is single admission.

April 16 Thur 7 Pm

Max, Minsky And Me

Germany 2007

Director: Anna Justice

Nelly, a precocious 12-year-old, lives in Berlin with her German Christian dad and American Jewish mom, who is very eager for Nelly to crack down on her bat mitzvah studies. But her twin obsessions—astronomy and her distant fantasy heartthrob, 16-year-old Edouard, Prince of Luxembourg and fellow stargazer—occupy all of her time. Nor is she much interested in the simple-minded girls’ basketball team, which fills the lives of her schoolmates. »

Director Claude Berri passes away at age 74.

13 January 2009 5:26 PM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

Oh merde… French cinema just lost one of his mentors. Legendary filmmaker Claude Berri died from from a serious neurological condition last week-end. As a director, he was responsible for many French blockbusters, including Germinal, the famous Emile Zola adaptation starring Gerard Depardieu, Jean de Florette and its sequel Manon Des Sources, the movie that made Emmanuelle Beart an international star. When wearing the producer’s hat, Berri was responsible for an impressive number of films such as the first two Asterix, Patrice Chéreau’s La Reine Margot, Claude Miller’s La petit voleuse and many more. This is a major loss as Claude Berri was always a supporter of both popular and author cinema. He will be missed.

'New York Times' Crix Name Noms... Do You Agree?

3 January 2009 1:45 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

The trio of New York Times critics (Manohla Dargis, A.O. Scott and Stephen Holden) have weighed in with their own nominations for the year's best in movies with their selections for Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress and Original and Adapted Screenplays. Quickly glancing through the list I see Manohla Dargis loved Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York (at least the acting) and is the only one that gave The Dark Knight any love. Thankfully Slumdog Millionaire wasn't "nominated" for anything other than a lone Adapted Screenplay notice from A.O. Scott. Happy-Go-Lucky saw plenty of attention and believe it or not, there isn't one film all three could agree on for Best Picture with Wall-e and Happy-Go-Lucky being the front-runners as they were mentioned twice - Dargis was the main reason for this as her selections didn't show up on either Stephen Holden or A. »
