Fox is huffing and puffing because you, dear movie-lovers, blew the house for X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE. (Pigs!) The studio is convinced that early, pirated downloads of the movie will topple [...]
Stars.. they’re just like US… only more put upon, apparently. Yes, celebrity comes with a price tag, but you would think those costs would be offset by public adoration, studio [...]

Many thanks to the indispensable Spencer F! NERDCORE FOR LIFE is presented as part of the ongoing STIFF Nights series. Two of the 21st century’s most powerful social forces; Hip-Hop and [...]
It is routine to question the Academy’s annual selections. Did SLUMDOG deserve its Oscar® riches? Did Mickey soil his britches hearing Sean Penn‘s name read aloud? Strangely, the Independent Spirit [...]
If you’re suffering from IRON MAN deficiency, THE SOLOIST may work as a supplemental cinematic vitamin. However, the most invigorating titles amongst this weekend’s anemic release slate are two documentaries [...]
David Benioff joins Warren for another evening of Words & Wine where they measure the importance of talent, place a friendly wager, and stress the importance of bowel movements.
The old saw goes: Children should be seen, not heard. Some young filmmakers, apparently, have a similar regard for actors. Thus was born Mumblecore? Well, not exactly, but this American [...]
It’s time for the Seattle-based National Film Festival for Talented Youth – one of only a handful of youth film festivals across the country. Now in its third year, NFFTY [...]

Ricky Martin‘s nuts. I don’t want to live the crazy life, I want to lead THE GOOD LIFE. Thank goodness, the new series — produced by Kim Ricketts Book Events [...]
Ron Howard‘s movies are much like 3-ply toilet paper, preferable perhaps to other brands due to superior production values yet, in the end, just as full of crap. Opie’s efforts [...]
On Tuesday night, April 21st, The Warren Report in partnership with EMP will showcase, OF ALL THE THINGS, a brilliant rock doc by Jody Lambert, son of the film’s subject, [...]
Feature filmmakers have been pulled from the ranks of those helming commericals and music videos for decades. Think Ridley Scott, David Fincher and Spike Jonze. Their abilities to tell stories [...]

Warren catches Christophe Barratier for a brief chat about Paris, filmmaking, and the power of film.

Warren chats with Richard Shepard at the Seattle house in park City, UT regarding his short documentary, what makes a good character actor, and the legacy of John Cazale.
Criminal suspects decry any rush to judgement. Hollywood avoids persecution by executing little, if any, judgement at all. And, those bold enough to suggest caution — or better yet, script [...]

Be among the first to see the debut of the special TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN trailer. Followed by a special screening of the blockbuster hit TRANSFORMERS. ** Please [...]
It’s still philanthropy when you get something in return, right? I like to think so. When it comes to donations, it’s the thought that counts… as much as the items [...]
Fresh off her win at the Ashalnd Independent Film Festival Warren catches up with Jeannine Kaspar at the Dragonfly cafe to discuss the life of an indie star, Robert Downey [...]
20th Century Fox spent $80 million to remake THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL. Perhaps they believed that by “re-imagining” Robert Wise‘s classic, they were paying tribute to that unmatched [...]
While the economy plunges downwards faster than Ruben Studdard skydiving, arts funding tumbles with it, victims of their own dependency on corporate sponsorships rather than the public’s actual support. While [...]
Accomplished opera singers dream of being pop stars. Professional football players long to hit the links with Tiger Woods. Hollywood screenwriters wish they’d earned their ducats and made their names [...]
Warren catches Jessica Yu (In the Realms of the Unreal) at the Seattle house in Park City for a quick chat about her dream documentary, her fortunate career, and creepy [...]

You don’t call. You don’t write. Mother Nature is pissed. And, like any decent (Jewish?) mom, she will exact her revenge slowly, passive-aggressively, impacting multiple generations. Her backlash is tracked [...]
Warren hosts a screening at Theo Chocolates where they discuss going for your dreams, paying it forward, and what you can get for $1,100.
Class dismissed. Often, this is the critics’ knee-jerk response to big-budget action pics, as if commercial fare couldn’t possibly have redeeming virtues. But look closely at any major Hollywood movie [...]
I grew up going to the movies. It was about the only thing about which my mom and I were in synch. Given any choice, I’d opt for a weekend [...]

Don’t look at me. I didn’t do it. I’m not even sure I like Drew Barrymore. I’ve never had the hots for her, even after she did that awkward desk-dance [...]
In filmmaking, you can do things the right way, the wrong way or… David Russo‘s way. Choose the latter and the filmmaker may not be richly rewarded (money’s tight for [...]
