This fourth issue of SCREEN MACHINE features essays on the significance of ANTICIPATION in cinema.

UNDER DISCUSSION: How audiences came out of MAGIC MIKE having seen the film that was marketed rather than the film itself / the machine that produced Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT and its effect on New Zealand’s local culture and labour laws.

ALSO IN THIS ISSUE: Ang Lee’s 3-D fable LIFE OF PI / Kathryn Bigelow’s War on Terror procedural ZERO DARK THIRTY / animal dissection documentary series INSIDE NATURE’S GIANTS / Quentin Tarantino’s revisionist Western DJANGO UNCHAINED / Aaron Sorkin’s HBO series THE NEWSROOM / AND MORE!
