...Started in 1958 and shot over three years, then absent from public view until the UCLA Film Archive restored it, The Exiles is now finally in theaters, thanks to Milestone Films. This is the company that last year resurrected Charles Burnett's magnificent Killer of Sheep. (Burnett is a co-presenter of The Exiles, with Native American novelist and filmmaker Sherman Alexie.) Mackenzie's dramatized documentary film isn't quite in the Killer of Sheep class, but it's an acute, great-looking, doggedly noncommittal view of a culture just one step up from the lower depths: Native Americans...

Australian Rules, a cross between rugby league and Gaelic football, requires the utmost fitness, as there are virtually no stoppages and minimal reserves of replacement players.

Initially derided as the brunt of jokes, the forecast focused channel became profitable within four years and soon had established itself as a media category killer. Sheryl Crow named a song after it in 2002, and today it has an estimated 85 million viewers, many of whom are more than happy to tune in numerous times each day. It has also successfully adapted with the times: the channel's free, ad-supported weather service for cell phones...
