  2. Getting to know Neil Gaiman

    AUSTIN, Texas — In Neil Gaiman's passport case, on a scrap of paper beside his green card, are two verses of an unfinished work called "Pirate Stew."

  3. 'The Deep Blue Sea': Hushed, deft adaptation resonates ✭✭✭ 1/2

    The Liverpool-bred writer-director Terence Davies is best known for deeply felt, meticulously controlled reveries "The Long Day Closes" and "Distant Voices, Still Lives" and the gorgeous personal essay "Of Time and the City." Now 66, he sees the past — his own and his country's — as a war between oxygen-depriving conformity and what another Terence called "the whole of life," in all its terror and wonder.

  4. Joe Wright's version of Tolstoy classic 'Anna Karenina' a hit-or-miss proposition ★★ 1/2

    Like most alleged love-it-or-hate-it propositions, the new film version of "Anna Karenina" is neither. Rather, it's a half-success — a baldly conceptual response to the Leo Tolstoy novel, with a heavy theatrical framework placed around the narrative of girl meets boy, followed by girl meets train.

  5. British director Joe Wright to direct 'Fifty Shades'?

    British director <a href=&quot;http://articles.latimes.com/2012/nov/29/news/la-en-anna-karenina-20121129">Joe Wrigh</a>t has become a known commodity in Hollywood for coaxing stylish yet substantive literary adaptations such as &ldquo;Atonement,&rdquo; &ldquo;Pride &amp; Prejudice&rdquo; and &ldquo;Anna Karenina&rdquo; onto the screen. His next assignment may likely be another genre of literature: mommy porn.

  6. Toronto Film Festival Day 2 recap: The Master's domain!

    Here's a Day 2 recap from the Toronto International Film Festival. Everybody sees a different slate of movies each day here. Friday went this way: After the gamer-oriented slaughter of &ldquo;Dredd 3D,&rdquo; the fanciful and tricksy theatrics of director Joe Wright&rsquo;s &ldquo;Anna Karenina&rdquo; with Keira Knightley and Jude Law and the Wachowskis&rsquo; adaptation of &ldquo;Cloud Atlas,&rdquo; which takes place in six different time periods, the mind reeled and the cinematic appetite cried out for something straight and easy.

  7. Toronto's Hollywood juggernaut can't swamp indie pleasures

    In &quot;Argo," one of the leanest satisfactions of this year's massive Toronto International Film Festival, director and star Ben Affleck anchors a movie based on the true story about how Central Intelligence Agency operative Tony Mendez faked his way into Iran following the 1979 hostage crisis posing as a film producer scouting locations for a Canadian science-fiction film called "Argo." Under that cover story, Mendez engineered the rescue of six American hostages, themselves posing as part of the fake film crew.

  8. 'Wuthering Heights' sticks close to windy moors ★★ 1/2

    Writer-director Andrea Arnold made &quot;Red Road" and "Fish Tank," two frank and exceptional portraits of emotionally isolated young women hurtling, dangerously, into their futures. These character studies, set in Scotland and England, respectively, prepared Arnold well for taking on "Wuthering Heights," especially the way she has chosen to take it on: as a stark reconsideration of the Emily Bronte novel.

  9. Review: The collateral damage of genius in Boris Eifman's 'Rodin'

    Of the ballet choreographers making narrative works for major stages, Russian Romantic Boris Eifman is virtually the only one totally in touch with the 21st century.

  10. The Sunday Conversation: Saoirse Ronan

    Saoirse (pronounced SIR-sha, &quot;like inertia") Ronan plays an alien and a human in the same body in the new romantic sci-fi film "The Host," based on a book by "Twilight" series author Stephenie Meyer. Ronan, who turns 19 in April, is already a seasoned thespian, with an Oscar nod for her performance in 2007's "Atonement."

  11. 'Anna Karenina'

    To call the latest screen version of the classic Leo Tolstoy novel a &quot;staging" is literal, since director Joe Wright and screenwriter Tom Stoppard present it as an actual production on a stage.
