  3. Movie gangsters so bad they're good

    One hundred and one years ago, D.W. Griffith gave us "The Musketeers of Pig Alley," often credited as the first gangster film, and once sound came in, nothing hooked movie audiences during the early 1930s more reliably than Edward G. Robinson or James Cagney doing harm to their rivals and, for a while, eluding the law while enjoying the spoils of their own private wars.

  5. Film review: Enjoy the silents in the 'The Artist'

    Hollywood doesn't make very many films about itself, let alone paeans to its ancient history. So how can we explain two such titles opening simultaneously — on the very same day — last month? I swore I wouldn't use the hack phrase “love letter to the cinema,” even though it's exactly appropriate for both Martin Scorsese's wonderful “Hugo” (reviewed here last week) and Michel Hazanavicius's even more wonderful “The Artist.”
