If there's one thing that is very, very, very clear, it’s that “Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan loves James Bond.

Lars Von Trier is a director who has never shied away from controversy. The Danish auteur behind “Breaking the Waves,” “Dancer in the Dark,” and “Melancholia,” indulges in cinema that can charitably be described as extreme. The last time he was in Cannes he made some comments about...

Michael Bay’s “Pain and Gain,” as we noted in our review, is totally nuts. It’s about as extreme as that kind of movie can be -- full of violent shenanigans and ‘roided-out bodybuilders. But the craziest thing to happen on the set of “Pain and Gain,” according to...
