...games industry is overwhelmingly dominated by men, which creates something of a vicious circle. If men keep creating games for themselves--if there's no game equivalent of a date movie or a chick flick--how are women ever going to break in? The notable exception is the all-time best-selling computer game--The Sims--built by a design team dominated by women. Lucy Bradshaw was part of that team; now she's executive producer on this fall's hotly anticipated sequel, Sims 2. Colleagues at Maxis call her the Sofia Coppola of the industry--hip, young and iconic...
Ousmane Sembene’s 1977 film was banned in his home country on a wacky technicality, but the history only adds to the allure of Senegal’s most famous auteur’s most ambitious flick. Seemingly, the kidnapping of a beautiful princess is the centerpiece, but that is just the lens through which he address some of Senegal’s most pressing issues: Muslim expansion, Christianity and the slave trade.

Deadwood wants to show not just how the West was won, but who won, what they...
...different generations in Taipei react when faced with crises of the heart. The only Chinese movie to be selected for this year's Berlin Film Festival, 20:30:40 goes down like a happy-hour Cosmopolitan?a nice antidote to the castor oil of the typical Taiwan art-house flick. "This is not a grand story. It doesn't have a big theme," Chang says. "I just wanted to let the audience see how modern Chinese women...
