Orphan is really a psychological thriller that turns into a horror movie. It's not straight horror. The whole story revolves around this secret, and it's very rare for me to read a script and be completely surprised by the ending. It was so believable. That's what got me hooked on it–Director Jaume Collet-Serra

In Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg I’m delighted to document the amazing accomplishments of the talented Gertrude Berg.  I am in awe of how this woman would wake up at six in the morning, write her shows, and then go off to the studio to produce. Without missing a beat she seamlessly performed Molly to perfection.  Here is a woman who wrote the most positive portrayal of a Jewish mother and her family during the decades that severely threatened American and European Jewry. It is more amazing still that she crafted such a warm maternal figure in spite of her own mother’s mental illness. Berg created the “perfect mother” she never experienced in her own life–Director Aviva Kempner

David Yates is the director of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” starring Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, which is being released by Warner Bros. on July 15, 2009.

Director David Yates had entered the world of Harry Potter with “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” the fifth film in the series. “I had such a great experience on the last film and was thrilled to be asked back,” he says. “I loved the sixth book. It is hugely entertaining, bringing more romance to Hogwarts than we've ever seen before combined with an intriguing uncovering of Voldemort's past that has huge implications for the rest of the series. “

Daniel Radcliffe stars in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” which is being released by Warner July 15, 2009.

“For me, the films have always been about a loss of innocence,” says Daniel Radcliffe, the actor behind the title character, who can perhaps no longer be called the boy wizard. “When Harry came into this world, it was all just amazing and brilliant and kind of pure. But as the films have gone on, that's totally disintegrated, and he's realizing that the wizarding world has just as many, if not more, challenges than the world he grew up in before.”

Agnes Varda's new documentary, “The Beaches of Agnes,” in which she relates her life in movies and the movies in her life, opens July 3.

The excerpts from my films were treated as if they had come from a databank of my life’s work, with which I could take a scene of fiction or documentary, and use it out of context. I’ve also included some of my photography: for instance, some I did for Vilar at the Festival d’Avignon, my coverage of China in 1957, and the Cuban Revolution in 1962. It is the whole of my work as a filmmaker, as a photographer, and as a visual artist that tells my story better than my words alone.
