...Oliver Stone to direct a film based on his own novel, Nanking. Stanley Tong, the Hong Kong director of several Jackie Chan movies, has a Nanjing movie in development, and award-winning Chinese director Lu Chuan hopes to start shooting his own account of the massacre this month. Finally, Canadian filmmaker Bill Spahic is aiming to complete his documentary, The Woman Who Couldn't Forget: The Iris Chang Story, in time for the massacre's 70th anniversary in December...
This impulse to take stock is one reason why the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York City is opening a retrospective this week devoted to Jeff Wall, a Canadian artist who started making staged pictures around the same time as Sherman. (The Wall show continues at MOMA through May 14, then travels to Chicago and San Francisco.) In 1977, when he was 31 and teaching art history and studio practice in his hometown of Vancouver, Wall took his family on a trip to Europe, where he spent a lot of time looking at the old masters...
...neglected opera back into the repertoire. Since being snapped up by New York's Metropolitan Opera for its young artists' development program in 2001, Perth-born Durkin, 31, has been groomed for world stardom.

Isaac Gerstman Tel Aviv When They Were in L.A. Canadian turned California dreamer Denny Doherty, a tenor and founding member of the successful but short-lived group the Mamas and the Papas, died last month. Way back in a different era, TIME sized up the folk-pop foursome when the performers were practically still just kids...
Diana Krall fans might breathe a sigh of relief. U.S. Marines in Iraq play and sing plenty of music in George Gittoes' documentary Soundtrack to War (2004)-from gore metal to gospel, thrash to rap-but the Canadian songbird's contemporary jazz is not included. "We support you, Diana," says one soldier in the film. "We just can't listen to you when we roll." It's one telling moment in a movie filled with them. Another is the scene where a gospel choir in U.S. Army fatigues breaks off its outdoor rehearsal because of enemy fire: "That...
