LONELY AT THE TOP – A DIRECTOR’S NARCISSISM
Not the director but the writer is film’s first artist, if for no other reason because she’s first. There’s no use for upscale stars, fancy effects, and sophisticated equipment without a worthy script.

LONELY AT THE TOP – A DIRECTOR’S NARCISSISM
Heave a sigh of relief.
If you’ve been losing sleep worrying about director Peter Berg, there’s good news. The box office success of his LONE SURVIVOR (based upon the novel by Marcus Luttrell and Patrick Robinson) seems to have resuscitated his career.
His summer 2012 disaster BATTLESHIP was reportedly the biggest sci-fi money loser in movie history. Berg was blamed for the debacle and became for a while persona non grata in Hollywood.
