The Notebook is covering Tiff with an on-going correspondence between critics Kelley Dong and Daniel Kasman.aKashaDear Kelley,The festival definitely is changing now: the industry-oriented market side of the event has finished, so many sales agents and distributors and other such folk have decamped, even as premieres keep being revealed, and audiences are delighted (or exasperated). There's still plenty on my schedule and plenty more I want to share with you.Are there filmmakers for you, Kelley, whose sensibility you embrace but whose films you sometimes struggle to like? That, for me, is Mia Hansen-Løve, who has made six features to date, two of which I think knock it out of the park—The Father of My Children and Things to Come. But her other recent work, including Goodbye, First Love, Eden, and now Maya, may resonate with a sensibility of intelligent compassion and emotional insight, yet tell stories I find torpid.

Bruce Lee is well known for his martial arts abilities, but have you ever wondered how his fame and notoriety came to be? The story of Bruce Lee is told in full in the upcoming DVD release of “Legend Of Bruce Lee: Volume One,” which debuts on November 1, 2016.
Volume one stars Danny Chan who plays a younger, college-aged Lee. At this point in Lee’s life, Lee has no interest in studying or perusing the normal path students his age normally do; his passion is for martial arts. Lee resolves himself to this passion after losing a street fight to some gang members. He finds his master, Master Ye Wen, and begins his tutelage of Kung Fu. Lee is then targeted by local gang members and must flee to America where he teaches martial arts at the University of Washington. Also in America, he meets an American girl named Linda,...

Anne Rice got vampires to open up in Interview With The Vampire and the vein is still flowing.
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice, isn't quite as old as some of the immortal vampires who populated the pages, but over 40 years after its original publication, it's getting up there. Although it's certainly older than Claudia, a perpetual child in a land of elders.
Published in 1976, it had its origin in a short story Rice wrote in 1968. Interview With The Vampire introduced many memorable characters, Louis de Pointe du Lac, Lestat, Armand and intrepid interviewer Tom Molloy. But the novel was more influential on the audience’s relationship with the vampire and how the creature sees itself. Anne Rice introduced the regretful and self-reflective vampire, and I know vampires don’t cast reflections. Bloodsuckers who didn’t just play with their food, but who came to have feelings for it.
