Q: Does Lucy Lawless regret that they killed Xena? – Craig, Norfolk, Va

A: In fact, she does. In “A Friend in Need,” the two-part Xena: Warrior Princess series finale back in 2001, Xena allows herself to be killed, so she can become a ghost and fight a spiritual being. Later, after Gabrielle finds a way to bring Xena back to life, the Warrior-Princess heroically chooses to stay dead in order to make amends for past sins. The series ends with Gabrielle, a full-fledged warrior at last, carrying on Xena’s legacy.

Gabrielle bids farewell to Xena

9 September 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

- You have to respect a smallish distributor who builds long-term relationships with filmmakers from world cinema scene. Strand Releasing have got their ticket punched once again for a Andre Techine film - this time, 2009's The Girl on the Train. Strand released Techine's Wild Reeds and The Witnesses. Look for a 2010 release for the drama that features a fairly solid cast. This is based on a true story of a mythomaniac young woman (Émilie Dequenne) who told the French media in 2004 that she had been the victim of an anti-semitic attack on one of the Paris-area urban trains. Deneuve will play Alice's overbearing mother Louise, Michel Blanc, will play Samuel Blumenstein, a successful lawyer who used to know Louise and who is currently looking for someone to help him out at work. Louise becomes obsessed with the idea that Alice should have that position, which leads to an awkward »

2 September 2009 4:17 AM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

Films on the cutting edge. That's how I would describe the 50 movies on this list. While some moviegoers may find it an 'alien' experience to refer to sub-titles in understanding what's happening on the big screen, a good number of audiences are totally enjoying the different and often surprising take by many foreign filmmakers, nothwithstanding the language barrier.

Content-wise, the 50 movies feature stories about war and peace, love and romance, family affairs, coming-of-age tales, cultural and religious diversity, social issues (including prostitution and abortion) and personal - celebrating life or facing death with dignity. Coverage-wise, tMF list down many of the best foreign films from 2000 until last year from the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and about 15 other countries in Europe, North and Latin America and Asia-Pacific.

Cannes 2009: Legend Alain Resnais Picks up Special Prize

24 May 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

- There aren't that many filmmakers who would accept an award in white tennis shoes, but when you are part of the 80 plus demographic then anything is allowed. There was talk that the filmmaker would end up with some kind of mention (and from what I heard t wasn't no sympathy vote) and Rampling and the rest of the jury took this chance to make a moment out of this special occasion.Based on the novel L’incident by Christian Gailly, Alain Resnais' Wild Reeds is about a wallet lost and found opens the door - just a crack - to romantic adventure for Georges and Marguerite. After examining the ID papers of its owner, it is not a simple matter for Georges to turn the red wallet he found in to the police.
