Female Directors Shone at the Toronto International Film Festival
One of the surprises and highlights of this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) was the number of films about women and the number directed by women. Sure, most were small indies. But in an industry where only 1.9 percent of the 100 top-grossing fictional films distributed in the United States from 2007 to 2014 were directed by women, according to a report released in August by the University of Southern California, the news at TIFF was encouraging.

Now That’s a Software Update: The New Steve Jobs Trailer Dazzles
It's Michael Fassbender day in the film world, apparently, as not one but two juicy new trailers came out for projects he's starring in. First, we got a glimpse of Fassbender as General Macbeth, coming upon the three witches in Justin Kurzel’s gritty Macbeth adaptation.

In the Heart of the Sea Trailer Introduces Real Whale Behind “Moby-Dick”
Maybe you haven’t read Herman Melville’s “Moby-Dick,” but you know Moby-Dick. That is, you know at a minimum that Moby Dick’s a killer whale (you might even know he's a sperm whale), and you also probably know that one of the things Melville used his monstrous creation to illustrate was the implacable power of nature, and man’s puniness in the face of it. What you might not know is that Melville’s masterpiece was based on the accounts he'd heard and read of the doomed whaleship Essex in 1920,
