It might sound slightly hyperbolic, but filmmaker James Cameron (Titanic, The Abyss, Aliens) contains multitudes. More than just a writer, director, and producer, he’s the rare filmmaker who not only creates commercial art, but commercial art likely to engage, enthrall,...

With a career spanning six decades and more than 150 credits, Harvey Keitel has made an indelible mark on American cinema and pop culture. Despite material of wildly varying quality, some of it forgettable, Keitel has rarely given a sub-par...
