'Waltz With Bashir' leads down filmmaker's nightmare alley
![ARI FOLMAN'S "Waltz With Bashir," which screens tonight at the Toronto International Film Festival, straddles many boundaries: between memory and dream, history and memoir, fact and fiction. Using animation to shift fluidly between frames, the movie investigates the Sept. 16, 1982, massacre of Palestinian refugees at the Sabra and Shatila camps in Beirut. Lebanese militiamen belonging to the Falangist Party, their passions inflamed by the assassination of the country's president-elect, Bashir Gemayel, slaughtered hundreds and possibly thousands of men, women and children, stacking their bodies in the narrow alleys between houses.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-09/42094188-03152208.jpg "ARI FOLMAN'S "Waltz With Bashir,\" which screens tonight at the Toronto International Film Festival, straddles many boundaries: between memory and dream, history and memoir, fact and fiction.

Directors step up to take their shot at Oscar
![THE six nominees for this year's best director Academy Award have made a total of 23 feature films. To put that meager number into perspective, consider this: "The Departed," which finally won Martin Scorsese his directing Oscar last year (on his sixth nomination), was his 21st theatrically released feature. As with the acting categories, the best director Oscar often goes to overdue candidates -- which is to say, it's awarded for bodies of work as much as for the film under consideration -- but this year, instead of the usual lineup of establishment old-timers, voters are picking from a pool of career mavericks and comparative neophytes.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-02/35603767-14175816.jpg "THE six nominees for this year's best director Academy Award have made a total of 23 feature films.

'The Bad News Bears'
![The remake of the 1976 kids' classic "The Bad News Bears" is directed by the talented and prolific Richard Linklater. Why? Good question. "It's the kind of film you couldn't get away with if it didn't have the successful lineage of the first film," Linklater told Entertainment Weekly recently. "If we didn't have the name 'Bad News Bears,' we couldn't be doing what we are doing." He was referring, no doubt, to the prodigious underage swearing. And the Hooters scene. And the part where Billy Bob Thornton, his expression hovering between modesty and childlike wonder, confesses to Marcia Gay Harden that he hasn't paid for sex in years. Three days later I can't stop thinking about it. It's a perfect Buddhist conundrum: To make an unmakable movie, one must but remake it.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-07/18587633.jpg "The remake of the 1976 kids' classic "The Bad News Bears\" is directed by the talented and prolific Richard Linklater.
