 The release of some of George Cukor's works on DVD is the occasion for this writer to focus on the director's attention to visual composition

 In a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine, Steven Spielberg tells stories from throughout his entire filmography, but in this
 online-only excerpt he dives deep into his early years, when he was just a “pre-teen”-looking kid from Arizona, hustling around Hollywood
 with a projector in a suitcase and an armload of short films.

 from HitFix: Martin Scorsese's child's-eye adventure "Hugo" is the latest in a long line of the director's films boasting astonishing technical
 artistry from a distinguished team of loyal collaborators. With the film hitting theaters, the site looks back and rounds up the finest
 below-the-line elements from his oeuvre, including contributions from such films as "Shutter Island," "The Age of Innocence" and "Raging Bull."
