A 100 list of must see films worthy of your time, energy, money and attention in 2008. This is a list obviously geared more towards those who find themselves in arthouse theaters and like offerings of American independent film (this includes all variations/definitions of the term 'indie') and enjoy films with subtitles in tow.

Time for Malin Akerman, Carice van Houten or a rejuvenated Diane Kruger to step up to the plate - Nicole Kidman has officially stepped...

Everything you were wondering about Nicole Kidman is true. She looks even better in real life, she comes off as incredibly smart and sincere of course it’s hard not to feel a little intoxicated by her presence.

It couldn’t happen any other time than the middle of the night. That ringing is not a dream. There, on the other side of the line, is the voice you have tried so hard to forget while secretly longing to hear again. You’re half asleep so you can’t be sure the conversation is actually happening. She’s in town. She’s leaving tomorrow. She wants to see you. Nothing good can come of this but you can’t say no., not to her. So you drag yourself out of bed, throw on some jeans and prepare yourself to revisit every memory, good and bad, that the two of you created. It’s a scenario most can relate to and that common experience is what makes Francois Dompierre’s All the Days Before Tomorrow, a dissected history of Wes (Joey Kern), Alison (Alexandra Holden) and the space they created together, easy to connect with and even easier to fall in love with.

2007 is the year that the Cannes film festival turns 60 and to celebrate the occasion they asked 35 world-ranking directors to mark the b-day bash with a three-minute short. For many Chacun son cinema shall bring out the pearly whites among he few cinephiles lucky enough to see the film. Sixty is also nifty because of the onslaught of other projects that will most likely make it at this year’s fest. Both a culmination of what I’ve read in Variety and cineuropa.org and my own two cents worth, this is a taste of some of the stuff we can expect to see at this year’s 60th.
