It'll be interesting to see how Sofia Coppola's new film, The Bling Ring, is viewed in a decade. The true events of the film -- a group of teens easily trespassing and stealing from celebrities that took place over a ten-month period in 2009 to 2010 -- already feels a little dated.

Is 2013 The Year of the Kickstarted Movie? True, movies both short and long have been funded in whole or in part by the Kickstarter website before this year.

In a new film, Chasing Ice, which was an official selection at Sundance last year, now makes its public debut on November 9th in New York City, James Balog's quest to document the physical imagery of climate change is brought to life.

A raw look at reality collides with a touch of fantasy in Benh Zeitlin and Lucy Alibar's Beasts of the Southern Wild.

Set in California's forgotten Salton Sea, writer-director Elgin James' debut follows 15 year-old Lily (Juno Temple) and her best friend Alison (Kay Panabaker) as they attempt to flee their impoverished community and build a nest in Los Angeles with a group of runaway squatters.

The Prometheus of Greek myth was the titan who stole fire -- and a love of science and the intellect -- from the gods of Olympus. If Ol' Pro' saw this eponymous film, he might keep the fire but give the rest back.

The film -- as the title suggests -- is a testimony to love. It is one of my favorite films at the festival -- and clearly a great hit with the public.

I'm sure there are those who will be shocked that I not only enjoyed a lot of The Lucky One, but that I think Zac Efron's performance is a break-out moment -- the announcement that a teen dream has made the transition to adult dramatic actor.

Packaged as a slick spy film, Haywire's been mildly poo-pooed by some critics but there's another way to see it: as a significant take on commerce and the tensions between men and women, and on a continuum with an earlier work, The Girlfriend Experience.

Midnight in Paris is a bittersweet, impassioned romp through Paris: a journey through the psyche of a man who, while doing his best to avoid acknowledging death, finds he's avoiding what he desires most: a full experience of life.

It's too soon to predict that Bridesmaids will come close to the $175 million total of There's Something About Mary, but it's pretty much guaranteed that the funniest film of 2011 will make it to $100 million.

Ultimately, I judge a festival by the number of good movies I saw. This year I saw 40 movies and one out of every four was good or great. Who can ask for anything more?

The Beaver asks us to believe a man can function in society by wearing a beaver puppet on his arm, and talking in its voice. He's not an aspiring ventriloquist. He's just a crazy person.

Fred Stoller doesn't look like a movie star. He doesn't sound like a movie star. He doesn't act like a movie star. All of which are precisely the reasons he's great as the star of Fred & Vinnie.

If you want an introduction to Arthur, my recommendation is to rent the original. But if you'd rather see someone else imitate what Dudley Moore did 30 years ago, then see this new film instead.

Watching Limitless, I wondered where the time went. As soon as it started, it was over. I felt like its main character Eddie in the throes of his drug's side effects, losing all track of time.
