　　依旧是导演喜欢的三幕剧，又有反转，剧作是环形的多义的，但影像风格却是极其现实主义的。

　　影片讲述的是法国著名作家大仲马（Alexandre Dumas l802～1870）和他在助手奥古斯特·马科（Auguste Maquet  1813～1888)之间的真实故事。
　　马科生于1813年的巴黎，曾在公立查理曼中学就读，18岁成为历史学教授。之后，他转向文学领域。1838年，他通过内瓦尔，结识了当时已经非常知名的大仲马。他开始大仲马提供小说素材，概述情节和打草稿，还执笔写了很多作品的开头几章，包括《三个火枪手》和《基督山伯爵》。而大仲马则主要负责刻画人物形象，构建情节，并撰写所有重要章节的结尾，通常设置悬念以吸引读者。他声称只有当故事在头脑里全部完成后才开始动笔。就这样，大仲马领导了一个庞大的小说制造车间，分工合作，将一部部的小说源源不断地推向市场。大仲马总共写了约250部小说，但如此卷帙浩繁的作品并非都出自他一人之手，而是同73名助手合作的结果，从中不难看出他的精明之处。马科的名字是不会出现在书的扉页上的，作为回报，他得到了慷慨的酬劳。
　　影片的故事的背景是在1848年2月，此时正是大仲马的高峰期。他隐退在城堡里，与他的合作者助手奥古斯特·马科一起创作。他们相识十年来，马科仍然生活在这位伟人的影子下...

　　改编自《池畔谋杀案》编剧艾曼纽贝尔南的同名小说，讲述她帮助父亲安乐死的亲身经历。安乐死往往牵涉到沉重又複杂的伦理道德与法律问题，在法国名导欧容的笔下却举重若轻，以轻盈叙事和幽默口吻，凝视父女生命中最深切的一段相处时光，细腻描绘为人子女内心的挣扎与不捨。苏菲玛索深情而内敛的演出，让这段悠长的告别更显真挚动人。

　　影片讲述承担着失踪的哥哥留下的3000万借款的图书馆管理员一男（佐藤健饰）为了起死回生购入了彩票而中了3亿元大奖，正当准备人生重来的时候，本应是大富豪的大学时的好哥们九十九（高桥一生饰）将这些钱拐走消失了。

The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R. 

　　《迷幻学院》（Tower Prep）是卡通频道今年播出的第二部原创真人剧集。与《奇妙的历史》（Unnatural History）轻松愉快的氛围不同，《迷幻学院》存在悬疑情节，更贴近于成人故事（即所谓的「teen adult story」）。故事讲述性格冲动好斗的少年Ian Archer一觉醒来后发现自己来到了一家神秘的学院，学员们都是和他一样有特殊能力的青少年。Ian试图和其他三名同学一起逃跑，但最终失败了。他们下决心要查明事情的真相。

　　詹米·多南、彼特·丁克拉奇主演新片[我与赫夫共进晚餐](My Dinner with Herve，暂译)首度曝光剧照。影片由萨沙·杰瓦西([金属精神])执导，取材于他采访[神秘岛]主演赫夫·维勒查泽的真实经历，二人也因此成为挚友。1993年维勒查泽自杀，令杰瓦西倍感痛心，20余年后，这段往事被他搬上大银幕。

　　这部电影的故事背景让人不禁回忆起《逃出绝命镇》。一位黑人男性（杰森·米切尔饰）在周末的时候，因为觉得周围只有白人朋友所以觉得十分紧张。当然，这部作品与乔丹·皮尔去年那部符合大众口味的《逃出绝命镇》不同。智利导演塞巴斯蒂安·席尔瓦是一个古怪的人，他的电影如《女仆》、《水晶仙女》、《肮脏的婴儿》都倾向于剑走偏锋，故事开始会有点怪异，而之后则会变得更加怪异。这种风格对于《周末生日游》意味着什么呢？还不知道。但我们非常期待这种不确定性，况且演员阵容中还有克里斯托弗·阿伯特、迦勒兰德里·琼斯,迈克尔·塞拉和安·道德。
