The recent arrest of filmmaker Roman Polanski has brought with it a barrage of criticism from his peers, which begs to wonder: just how does this supposedly humanist community with social justice leanings, justify the defence of a man on the lamb for the rape of a 13 year old girl?

A personal acount into the disintegration of cinema etiquette.

Not content in having his film do the talking, director Ron Howard continues to bait the Catholic Church into a war of words over his new film, Angels and Demons. However, this time the Church –wisely –are not biting.
