Movie articles

Newsweek has run some great movie-related articles lately. One on how Gene Hackman left the business because he didn't want to play grandfathers (after being in some of the most iconic movies of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s). Another on the death of the biopic - after the offerings of 2009 such as Amelia and Creation (on Darwin) have fallen flat. The latest was a terrific piece on remakes of Swedish films like Brothers, and on movie influences in general. Great stuff.
