Article: Five Clive Owen Roles in Order of Cragginess
Fact: Clive Owen’s face is a thing of craggy beauty. That weathered face, the chiseled jaw, those soulful eyes, combine into an object worthy of being nominated for an Oscar separately from the man himself.

Reviewed at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival.

It is at once an attempt to deal with one of the last…
Article: Attention Owed to Clive Owen
In this week’s “The Boys Are Back,” Clive Owen seems to break from his usual screen persona to play a sports writer whose wife passes away, leaving him a single dad forced to reconnect with and learn to take care of his two sons. But how far a stretch is that, really, for a man…
Article: Fame, Rage and Capitalism
This week, contrasting approaches to filmmaking bring about balance and equilibrium.
