May 25: Lucky 'Thirteen,' Scorsese 101 "Ocean's Thirteen"
provides a much needed diversion from the heavy films of the festival. Tarantino
crashes Scorsese's "master class," which is more of a Q&A retrospective by
the director peppered with tips for aspiring filmmakers.
May 24: No 'Proof' Tarantino presents an extended cut of
"Death Proof," his half of the box-office flop "Grindhouse." We skip its
screening. Also, Jeon Do-Yeon gives an impressive performance in Lee
Chang-Dong's ambitious "Secret Sunshine."
May 23: Learning to Crawl It's a day of slow, heavy
movies, including Gus Van Sant's drama about high school teens, "Paranoid Park."
May 22: March of the Penguins We walk the red carpet with
Jolie and Pitt for "A Mighty Heart"; plus we review the film, which tells
Mariane Pearl's account of the tragic capture and murder of her husband,
reporter Daniel Pearl.
May 19-21: America the Miserable The Coen Brothers' dark
Western starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin generates Oscar
buzz, while Michael Moore makes a triumphant return to Cannes with "Sicko."
May 18: Teenage Riots Today's topics: international
abortion and the hell of adolescence! Despite the grim subject matter, we're
impressed with "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days." Plus, we cover the mean
girls of "Water Lillies" and Cannes '07 vs. Cannes '06.
May 17: Wai, Oh Why? Though we don't understand the hype
surrounding Wong Kar-Wai, we give his English-language feature, "My Blueberry
Nights" (which stars Jude Law and Norah Jones), an open-minded
viewing. The result? We still don't get the hype.
May 16: Dream Another Dream MSN's intrepid Movies editor
heads from Seattle to Cannes and has a run in with the "Law." Plus, the mood in
Cannes for the 60th year of the festival.
