- Lobbying for Golden Globes Is a Hollywood Ritual "There is little question that members of the association would get little attention if they did not have the Golden Globes. During awards season the rumor mill buzzes with anecdotes of the members' behavior."
- The Same River Twice: "And I also can't help feeling left with the question: if someone has that much talent, why would they bother with a remake? Why not make something new? Worst of all, I'm concerned that the second question answers the first."
- An interesting article on how you can learn to run your business by watching movies.
"5 Academy-worthy business movies"
- One Film, Two Wars, 'Three Kings':"Three Kings" is about a new way of seeing war. A $50 million studio film with major stars, it's a combination heist comedy, conversion melodrama and combat thriller; but the genre conventions are merely a springboard for Mr. Russell's true subject. Again and again, he uses color, sound and surreal interpolations to break through the viewer's movie-fed, CNN-filtered, rock-'n'-roll-fueled dissociation. With its jarring mixture of tones, "Three Kings" was not a box-office blockbuster. But it looks more and more like a classic.

1999...wow, what a year for movies. It was a year for "groundbreaking greats" and summed up as "the year that will influence 21st century filmmaking." It brought us "American Beauty", "The Matrix", "The Sixth Sense", "Fight Club", "Three Kings", "Being John Malkovich", "The Cider House Rules", "The Insider", "The Hurricane", "Run Lola Run", "The Limey" and the list goes on and on. So out of all these great movies, why mention "Notting Hill"? To be honest, it just happened to be one of the DVD's I borrowed from a friend to watch again. Again eh? So what was your first impression of the movie? I can't remember. I think it was one of those weeks where I watched about 3 Julia Roberts movies and they all just fused together into one, making it difficult for me to distinguish between a pretty woman, a runaway bride, or a stepmom. In any case, I don't remember it being much of an influence, but I thought I would give it another chance and I'm glad I did.
