One thing that you might notice aboutErrol Morris' groundbreakingThe Thin Blue Lineis that he never identifies anyone when they appear onscreen, a practice that has become seemingly customary in most modern documentaries. It’s a particular curiosity given the fact that Morris' documentary is, to a degree, foremost concerned with identification, specifically in finding the murderer ofRobert Wood, a Dallas policeman who was gunned down during a routine pull-over. After a preliminary investigation, police arrested and eventually chargedRandall Adams, a 28-year-old Ohio native making his way out to California with his brother, for the murder, and he was finally tried, found guilty, and sentenced to life imprisonment....

The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttonis, at first glance, a unique entry in directorDavid Fincher’s filmography. It’s an epic romance of sorts; a sweeping love story told through the ages, one which would appear to be at odds with what many view as a cold and cynical worldview that permeates Fincher’s other films likeSe7en,Fight Club, orZodiac. But upon further inspection,The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttonfits right in with the rest of Fincher’s darker films, as it’s really the story of a man whose entire life is surrounded by the reminder of death....

The James Bond franchise will never die. It’s an institution at this point, and part of the secret of its longevity is its malleability. The producers behind the franchise—from original leadsAlbert R. Broccoli&Harry Saltzmanto current overseersBarbara Broccoli&Michael G. Wilson—have always worked to keep Bond relevant in whatever way they can. Sometimes that means introspection likeGoldenEye,Casino Royale, andSkyfall, but more often than not, it means imitation. If you look through the Bond franchise, especially starting with theRoger Mooremovies, you can see the producers chasing trends like Blaxsploitation withLive and Let Die, kung-fu movies withThe Man with the Golden Gun, hard-edged action with theTimothy Daltonmovies, or something akin to theBourneseries as they move towards theDaniel Craigera....
