'Annie' on Broadway: Meet the orphans! -- Exclusive
15 May 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Finding the girl to play the titular orphan in Annie is hard enough, and producers of the upcoming Broadway revival certainly found a budding star in young Lilla Crawford (whom we interviewed back in April). But no production of Annie is complete without her familiar gang of orphan friends, of course!
Entertainment Weekly has an exciting first look at the bright group of young girls who will be joining Crawford when the classically optimistic musical (directed by James Lapine and choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler) hits Broadway this fall. Click through our gallery for an exclusive peek at the hard knock lifers! »

Was Tim Burton Ever A Good Director? (Opinion)
13 May 2012 8:40 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
With a title like that, I'm sure to get a lot of hate for even suggesting such a notion. But here's the thing: I loved Tim Burton. He was my absolute favorite director until around 2001. The worlds he created held my attention in a deeper way than other filmmaker's. The oddball and macabre design, along with the melancholy atmosphere, were unlike anything I had seen in movies. It was as fantastical in imagination as any blockbuster, and it felt more ethereal and personal than the "Hollywood" spectacle of a Spielberg or Zemeckis film. He introduced me to ideas of retro kitsch, spooky fringe and proudly holding onto timeless obsessions of your youth. Burton is one of those early influences in my life that made me become a passionate movie lover. I can catch "Beetlejuice" or "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" at any moment on TV and immediately get sucked back into them. »

Oscars 2012: Light in the darkness

Hotly tipped for a foreign language Oscar for In Darkness, director Agnieszka Holland talks about making films under communist rule – and directing The Wire and The Killing
Agnieszka Holland is the dark horse of the 2012 Oscars, which seems oddly fitting. Her latest film, In Darkness, plays as a begrimed Schindler tale, with its protagonist, Leopold Socha, hiding out in the sewers of Lviv while the Holocaust rages overhead. It has brought the 63-year-old director a nomination in the foreign language category, where she is pitted against the highly fancied A Separation, and marks the latest twist in a career that has taken her from Warsaw to Prague, Paris and La.
"Where is home?" mutters Holland, sipping bottled water in a London club. "Maybe this is." Dressed for purpose with her utilitarian hairdo and resilient, thick-framed glasses, she briskly explains that she made two Holocaust dramas before In Darkness (Angry Harvest; Europa, »

Interview: Director Agnieszka Holland Brings Light to ‘In Darkness’
13 February 2012 5:04 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – One of the nominees for Best Foreign Language Film at the upcoming Academy Awards is the Polish entry, “In Darkness.” The film is directed by filmmaker Agnieszka Holland, who had the same nomination honor in 1985 (”Angry Harvest”) and for Adapted Screenplay in 1992 (”Europa, Europa”).
Hailed as one of Poland’s most prominent contributors to their cinema history, Holland has had a career of filmmaking that has been provocative, and highly political. She was born in Warsaw right after World War II, and her Jewish grandparents were killed in the ghetto during that conflict. She made her first film in 1970, “Jesus Christ’s Sins,” while a student the Film and TV School of the Performing Arts in Prague, before embarking on a notable career in the Polish Film industry.

Oscar Watch: Holland's 'In Darkness' Returns to Holocaust, "It's the borderline human experience"
11 February 2012 4:22 AM, PST | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Agnieszka Holland ("The Secret Garden") is no stranger to the Holocaust: she won Oscar nominations for both 1985's "Angry Harvest" and 1990's "Europa, Europa." Eight years ago, David Shamoon's script based on Robert Marshall's "The Sewers of Lvov" lured her back to that period in Polish history; she couldn't let it go. The creative and technical challenge for this movie was how to keep an audience engaged while subjecting them to the horrors of claustrophobic, dank survival in the lightless, rat-infested sewers below Lvov, Poland. Charismatic actor Robert Wieckiewicz, playing a sewer scavenger who surprises himself by »
