THE CLASH OF THE COMIC BOOK TITANS: The Dark Knight and more comic book movies are bursting onto this summer's screens with frenzied motion and IMAX-sized missions. What constitutes comic book hero credentials?

		Spice Girls DVD for you Now out on DVD: Raw Spice: The Unofficial Story of the Making of the Spice Girls. See how you can get a free copy.

		Opportunity Knocks for The Doorman "Backwards" best describes how I made this docu-style fiction about the supposed "world's most famous doorman," lauded by NY's well-connected.

		Trinidad: Man to Woman Transgenders face challenges we all share: acceptance, sense of self and the need to be who you are. Special from the filmmakers.

		American Teen (documentary) (movie review) Real high-schoolers face the forceful and fantastic complexities of survival. Scintillating storytelling from award-winning director Nanette Burstein.

		Zeitgeist Films Co-presidents Emily Gerstman and Nancy Russo embarked on a mission to champion independent filmmakers from around the world.

		David Buckingham: Metal Sculpture He is the kind of metalhead who wanders desolate Southern California in search of discarded road signs, rusted industrial pieces... View more Still Life.

		The Life of “The Project” My friend's "war stories" from the days when he had been a member of the Latin Kings were great material for a film. Special From-the-Filmmaker.

		Entre les murs (The Class) (film review) In a troubled Parisian high school, diffidence is the norm and discourse among the faculty leads to divisiveness. 2008 Palme d'Or winner.

		Ari Folman’s “Waltz with Bashir” (film review) Waltz with Bashir is the traumatic journey of the filmmaker himself into his own past as a young soldier during the Lebanon Crisis.

		Watershed Year for the 61st Cannes Festival This year, with Thierry Frémaux uncomfortably on the firing line, Asian cinema is being nudged aside by Latin American film waves.

		Slepe lásky (Blind Loves) (film review) In this Slovakian exploration of relationships between blind couples, the camera provides a viewpoint that seems voyeuristic at times.

		Bagging the “Real America” We wanted to bring out the humor - after all, it's a bagging competition - while honoring the contestants we'd come to respect a great deal.
