A trailer for Steven Spielberg's latest, Munich, has been posted at the film's official webpage. While I'm not the biggest fan of Spielberg's, I am, however, a huge fan of his cinematographer, Janusz Kaminski.

Uma Thurman is shooting a movie called Super Ex-Girlfriend which, I believe is based on a comic book. I guess the prospect of this film doesn't particularly thrill me outside of Uma:



Ooh la la! (More pics here.)

Roger Ebert's re-review of Dark City is notable for a couple things outside of his well-deserved encomium. Firstly, he rakes on a series of movies that I really don't like - The Matrix:

I believe more than ever that "Dark City" is one of the great modern films. It preceded "The Matrix" by a year (both films used a few of the same sets in Australia), and on a smaller budget, with special effects that owe as much to imagination as to technology, did what "The Matrix" wanted to do, earlier and with more feeling.

And is doesn't have Keanu Reeves in it. The second interesting bit is that the article notes that Ebert contributed commentary for a forthcoming director's cut of the the film on DVD. I find this very odd as I would swear that director Alex Proyas says in the commentary for the current version of the DVD that there is no director's cut to be had because he got the cut he wanted. Harumph.
