There's a new auteur theory making the rounds in Hollywood. This one sees directors as having the best shot at ending the 38-day long writers' strike that has paralyzed the entertainment industry, interrupting production on TV shows like 24 and Grey's Anatomy and movies like Da Vinci Code prequel Angels & Demons and the Johnny Depp drama Shantaram...

...jobs of tens of thousands of entertainment-industry workers, including many of our own members, and more lose their jobs every day the strike continues. With so much at stake and no end to the standoff in sight, we can no longer abdicate our responsibility to our own members." Hollywood unions have a history of piggybacking on each other's contracts.

...rebels against the invading Soviets in the 1980s. It's a feel-good war-on-terror movie, and it was cited five times. Pointedly, none of the big Iraq movies in a serioso vein - In the Valley of Elah, Lions for Lambs, Rendition, Redacted, The Kingdom - got even one.
