Battle Royale
Battle Royale is your one-stop battleground for all things film-related. But it won’t all be arguments and debates. You’ll find your usual assortment of reviews (both short and lengthy), “best” and “worst” lists, industry commentary, DVD recommendations, general thoughts on the passing scene, etc. But all this will be predicated on the idea of interaction — not only among the News-Sentinel contributors, but also among you, the readers.

- Talk of Liz and Audrey leads to ‘Soldier of Orange’
-
We were discussing Liz Taylor this week in the newsroom, and eventually came around to a movie I greatly admire and strongly recommend: "Soldier of Orange."

- The MPAA: Worse than useless
-
(Note: Yes, I am about a day late in posting this, but I figure better late than never. Enforcer Dan Evans is taking care of the situation, as I promised he could strike me without repercussion every time I’m late with an update. For our inaugural beating he has chosen a kidney shot, and I plan to take it like a man. We don’t play around here at Battle Royale.)

- Let the Right Film In
-
To go along with Rich's entry earlier this week about the Coen's remake of "True Grit" that surpassed the original, I'd like to add another recent remake that should set a standard.

- The Skinny on Black Swan
-
Last night I happened upon an episode of Inside Edition when a report about Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan" was teased. Having just watched the movie and thinking it was one of the best films of the year — and easily Natalie Portman's finest performance — I stuck around to see the report.

There are many book-to-movie projects that flop.

With "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1" releasing next week I have been thinking about movies based on books.

- Twenty movie scenes better than the scenes Jason picked.
-
All jabs aside, here is my list of top 20 movie scenes. Unlike the others, though, I have no way of listing them an any kind of order. The top three are my actual three favorite scenes, but after that they are in no particular order.

- Rich's three favorite scenes

OK, a worthy challenge. Jason offered up some interesting choices, a bit on the blood-spattered side, perhaps, but an ambitious list nonetheless.

- And... scene!
-
Sure, it's easy to rattle off a list of your favorite movies -- but what about your favorite individual scenes? This can be tricky, because even your favorite films don't necessarily have a specific scene that stands out above all others. And I'm not talking about scenes you "like"; I'm talking about the scenes that make you want to throw on a DVD at 3 a.m. when you're tired and drunk and slovenly but can't bear the thought of going to bed before you catch just that one scene... for the 250th time.
