One of my favorite parts of the book is a page which contains excerpts from the original story conference between George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan in January 1978. It’s like being in the delivery room while Indiana Jones ...

By John Gruber Somewhere between E.T. and Jurassic Park, Spielberg lost his golden touch for directing child actors. I just couldn’t get enough of Drew Barrymore — so utterly adorable, but yet a genuinely frustrating and undependable seven-year-old kid sister. And Henry Thomas (Elliot) comes across as...

By STV So. Either someone at DreamWorks will be deferring a lot of salaries, Indiana Jones-style, or The Soloist had better gross about $250 million domestic when it opens next spring.

91 takes to the streets and wrecks everything in sight.  And we mean everything.  Wild, destructive car chases, an out-of-control super duper computer, and a plot to take out the entire Executive Branch of the US government.  Who knew executive producer Spielberg was so destructive?  3.5 b...

By pillock Sorry, ranting... We forget: these guys invented "action". They invented the summer blockbuster. Okay, we don't actually forget, obviously, because we say it all the time, but we forget what things were like before these guys came on the scene. We forget what made them great in the first place.

By amba I just got sucked into watching Munich, and found it mesmerizing -- more morally and dramatically sophisticated and paranoid than I thought Spielberg had in him.
