Television director Tom Cherones has been back on campus advising eleven TCF students during the production of another film helmed by the upper-level course tonight at the Bama Theatre downtown on Greensboro Avenue. Some thoughts on its playing second fiddle to this Deadstring Brothers concert DVD tonight.

MOVING ON:

Our first guest: Been Stark discussing his latest filmmaking adventures, Preston Sturges, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and baking.


Next guest: Graham Flanagan


1. IRON MAN - Graham has seen it. Here's his take.

2. SPEED RACER - Graham has seen it (jeez). Here's his take.

3. Errol Morris' STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE - Graham has seen it (gah!). Here's his take.

4. In industry news, it's now official, Guillermo Del Toro has been tapped to direct THE HOBBIT, the prequel to JRR Tolkein's Lord of the Rings trilogy. Early word is that Ian McKellan has been approached to reprise his role as Gandalf the wizard and that McKellan is likely to accept. What do we think about this?

4. Our thoughts on the Tom Cherones film production course.

6. DVD recommendations: THE SAVAGES, IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH, JOHN CARPENTER'S ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, THE WRONG MAN, ROPE
