Winners Best Performance Actress – Drama: Meryl Streep – Iron Lady. I'm looking forward to seeing this film. (very disappointed The Film Society didn't offer a preview screening). I'm certain as always, Streep's performance will be award worthy; however, since this film hasn't even hit theaters yet, how about giving the Globe to Viola Davis and letting Meryl win the Oscar.

Trauma films celebrate private power

The next time you watch a 21st century Hollywood film about traumatic global events such as the genocide in Rwanda or the U.S. invasion of Iraq, think about how they’re shaping your ethics, says Neil Narine. A Simon Fraser University doctoral student in the School of Communication, Narine has just defended a thesis in which he concludes today’s American trauma flicks encourage ethical selfishness rather than global sensitivity. Drawing on communication theory, Narine worries that modern trau...

Very inspiring opening night at London Film Festival!

What an opening! Wes Anderson truly nailed it in adapting Roald Dahl's children's talk "Fantastic Mr. Fox" to the screen. The movie set a tone of energy and optimism to the 53rd London Film Festival - something I believe we all need in these harsh times. As an actress, I felt very inspired by the brilliant voice work done by George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman and the rest of the cast. Meryl Streep sadly couldn't attend the opening, but Clooney and the others definitely ...
