...everybody came and they drank wine. It was a pleasant evening but I realized that the work wasn’t communicating everything that had gone into the making of it. It wasn’t the most potent form of communication for me. I got a little video camera and I started making really bad short films. I recognize in making drama and making film a lot of things that I loved came together—writing, and performing and photography and music...
...sting plot, grainy filming, and complex ensemble of characters reek of Scott’s failed attempt to liken the film to the British thrillers “Snatch” or “Layer Cake.” The green-and-yellow tint of the film, quick camera cuts (so typical to Scott’s previous “Enemy of the State” and “Man on Fire”), and voyeuristic shots of Knightley function to inculcate the viewer into the sordid world of the bounty hunter, but become hackneyed and visually...

...album and the slideshow feature are two parts of a philosophy that Sony has adopted, which goes something like this: Small cameras like the N1 go wherever you go. If you're on a plane and want to show pictures of your kids/pets/toy trains to the person sitting next to you, why not pull out your camera, instead of a wallet, PDA or specialized device? And if you do pull out your camera, why not make the slideshow at least partially interesting to your show-n-tell victim...
