Stephen King Adaptations With the release of Stephen King’s new film The Mist, Cinephile Magazine takes a look at the master of horror’s most provocative, and arguably his best, movie adaptations.
	Hollywood Screenwriters With the recent Writer’s Guild of America strike wreaking havoc on Hollywood production schedules, Cinephile Magazine has compiled a list of the must-see films that cast a limelight on the much-maligned screenwriting profession.
	Understanding the Surreal Well, I finally got the chance to see Persona on the silver screen! The Gene Siskel Film Center is showing a 14 program series entitled European Art Cinema. I went along with my father and his friend Paul. They’re administrators at Prairie State College. The show wasn’t a sell-out like Tokyo Story was last year, so we got great seats. I suspect the lower attendance was because Persona is far less accessible than Ozu’s film.
	The Most Overrated Films of 2005 With so many critics and fans raving non-stop over the following movies, I thought I had to chime in and be the voice of reason. The greatest news that these crop of films could have received from me is this: They are good rentals and should be watched on DVD. And although I can recommend them, my feeling is they have been given too much praise by eager and overanxious critics needing to be in step with popular culture.
	100 Pantheon Films Finally, a definitive list that will unequivocally determine the best 100 films of all time. Well, not really. While this feature will inevitably have overlaps with the major lists out there (AFI’s 100 Greatest American Films and Sight & Sound’s Top Ten Poll), this list will attempt to bring into light a hundred films of high quality that have either been overlooked, misunderstood, or simply ignored on first viewing.
	The Art of Drowning This setup is genius and would have been a classic in the making if The Abyss was comprised of just this scene alone. One reason the scene packs an emotional wallop is because it is so unexpected, especially considering that it comes right after a thrilling action sequence that ends with the death of lunatic marine Lt. Coffey (Michael Biehn).
	The 10 Worst Movie Titles Besides a film’s trailer/teaser, nothing can sink a film faster than a horrible sounding title. Just as having a great title will invariably peak the viewers interest, a bad title will have people running away in droves. Sometimes they’re pretentious (Angel Eyes), offensive (I Spit on Your Grave) or just plain retarded (Dumb and Dumberer). In my infinite wisdom I’ve decided to list the worst titles so as to save potential viewers from having to suffer through them alone.
