...helping to revive UA as an artist-led studio, Cruise will be the latest entrant in an old-school Hollywood tradition. Like Chaplin's original vision, Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope and Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg's Dreamworks SKG (now owned by those baddies at Viacom), Cruise's UA will, apparently, attempt to nurture a creative environment for filmmakers. In an ever-more bottom-line-conscious era of movie-making, it sounds like an impossible mission. But then, we hear this guy has experience with that sort of thing...
...With its scenes relying less on Fraser's dialogue than on the seamless blend of cinematographer Leon (Whale Rider) Narbey's joyful imagery and Don (An Angel at My Table) McGlashan's soulful score, it comes as no surprise to learn that Fraser's cinematic heroes are movie maestros Coppola and Visconti, both lovers of lushness. And Dee, who took out Best Actress at the New Zealand Screen Awards in August, carries some of the pathos and weight of The Leopard's ageing autocrat. Otherwise No. 2-which was released in Australia last week-is a crowd pleaser every...
...excess and indulgence achieve a sort of wistful purity and tragic transcendence, as if sadly embodying a spoiled, yet lonely child’s melancholic yearning.

Seamlessly integrating 80s post-punk in the most sublime of ways, there’s something undeniably lovely in her resuscitation of a dusty historical narrative, resisting stuffy reconstruction in favor of dreamily imaginative detail. Though ostensibly...
...their home consumption, Mionetto, a winery based in Valdobbiadene, seals its IL bottles with these user- friendly caps. Cali fornia's Domaine Chandon puts crown caps on étoile, its top-of-the-line cuvée. Meanwhile, Sofia Blanc de Blancs, the sparkling wine that filmmaker turned winemaker Francis Coppola created for his daughter's wedding, now also comes in magenta Mini cans with pull-tab tops...
...doubt the biblical twist will add to the intrigue of the infamous crime network, which over the past century has occasionally crossed paths with the Roman Catholic church. But Cosa Nostra's sins share nothing with those of the Da Vinci Code or Francis Ford Coppola films - they are real. Provenzano is believed to have had a hand in the slayings of countless rival gang members, as well as of innocent bystanders and crusading magistrates. It's no longer a secret that some mobsters are deeply religious. The mystery remains that they can reconcile what they read in the holy...
