...surprising that so few filmmakers have itched to put it on the screen. And when they do, it is usually The Odyssey they turn to. That picaresque travelogue through the wilder outposts of ancient Greece has inspired ordinary films (Kirk Douglas in a mid-'50s Ulysses), funny ones (the Coen brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou?) and one masterpiece (Theo Angelopoulos' Ulysses' Gaze, a mesmeric synopsis of a century of Greek history). But where's The Iliad? Hard to find, except in the 1956 Helen of Troy, a sober retelling from the Trojans' point of view...
...premium segment higher by advertising their quality, but beer inflation still trails other products. For many years, German price sensitivity and fierce loyalty to domestic beer - just 3.3% of beer consumed in Germany last year was imported - functioned as a keep out sign for foreign brewers. As Coen Thönissen, from Dutch brewer Grolsch puts it: "The common wisdom was that beer in Germany isn't business. It's culture." That perceived impenetrability is evaporating. In 2001, Heineken entered into a joint venture with Munich-based Schörghuber Group to share control of BrauHolding (820 million liters), which...
...being at the tired end of a line of movies about weird or failed show-biz types (Ed Wood, Larry Flynt, Andy Kaufman, Bob Crane).

Pakula (Klute, The Parallax View), Clooney figured out how to turn images and performances into menace and sizzle. He's already a real director. If he ever tires of his name above the title, he could build a cottage industry...
WELCOME TO COLLINWOOD. In the vein of recent heist movies like Snatch, Welcome to Collinwood looks like something reminiscent of the Coen brothers. Co-written and directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, Welcome to Collinwood premiered at Cannes and features big-shots George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh as producers. The film chronicles the exploits of several small-time criminals in a neighborhood on Cleveland’s east side. Led by your average petty felon Cosimo (Luis Guzman), a brainless band of six rogues decides to do some safe-cracking. What actually happens when they try to pull their...
...having an easier time finding homes. The country's top 75 markets all have art houses or artistically bent multiplexes where small movies are sought after. "The only time it's dangerous to open against a commercial film is when that film is by Scorsese or Soderbergh or the Coen brothers," says Jack Foley, distribution and marketing chief for Focus, which is releasing The Kid Stays in the Picture, a documentary about maverick '70s movie producer Robert Evans, opposite the Austin Powers sequel...
