David Fincher

• Feature: The PopMatters 'Short Ends & Leader' Spring Film Preview
• Zodiac

  PopMatters Pick

  

  David Fincher's excellent new movie winds clues and pursuits into an intriguing, often witty mix of causes and effects. In so doing, it rejiggers the police procedural.

• Zodiac

  PopMatters Pick

  

  Bonds are fleetingly forged then broken, comradeship and honour are largely absent and, like the Zodiac himself, everyone emerges as a rather lost and damaged soul.

Sean Fine, Andrea Nix Fine

• War/Dance

  PopMatters Pick

  

  As Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine's documentary frames it, survival in Uganda's war zones is political and moral, an effort to sort out the frankly unimaginable horrors that have shaped the children's existence.
