Picture it: The gun in the lap of a beautiful dame. A once powerful man hounded by the shadows of his triumphs. The cabbie with a kind heart and worn eyes. A fresh start. That last trick. The final score. And then there's the city; that never ending sprawl, a throbbing vein of head lights and stop lights, boney roadways to nowhere, and nothing... Los Angeles: The ultimate Femme Fatale. Steve Anderson's third feature, This Last Lonely Place, for lack of better phrasing, colorizes classic noir and pulp tropes, bringing them into a time when economic woes, low American morale and a potent melancholy and paranoia rule the day. In other words, desperation itself has rarely felt so desperate. Stoic Sam Taylor (Rhys Coiro), hawk-eyed...

With 506 occurrences of the swearword, Martin Scorsese's Wall Street drama has set a new record for a non-documentary film
• News: Scorsese heckled at Wolf of Wall Street screening
• More on The Wolf of Wall Street
Martin Scorsese has broken a record. The Wolf of Wall Street contains 506 instances of the word "fuck", which is – as noted by Variety – a solid 71 more utterances than the previous non-documentary record holder, Spike Lee's Summer of Sam.
Based on the memoir by Wall Street trader Jordan Belfort (played in the film by Leonardo DiCaprio), Scorsese's film delights in excess. Trading takes a break for sex on the shopfloor, drugs in the toilets and lots and lots of foul language. Even the running time gets into the spirit: the film is 180 minutes long, which – divided equally – breaks down to Scorsese giving 2.81 fucks a minute.

Humphrey Bogart as indie-film booster? It could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Writer-director Steve Anderson (“The Big Empty,” “Fuck”) has convinced the Humphrey Bogart Estate to help finance his micro-budget noir, “This Last Lonely Place,” according to the WSJ’s MarketWatch. The filmmaker has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $75,000 for his original thriller about three lost souls who find their worlds colliding in an L.A. cab, and not only has the Bogie Estate thrown $10,000 to the cause, it has committed to matching every additional donation. Bogart LLC majority owners Stephen Bogart and his sister Leslie see the investment as a way to support the kinds of films their father most liked. From the story: "The main goal of the Humphrey Bogart Estate is to honor and promote my father's legacy," said Stephen Humphrey Bogart, son of the iconic performer. "My father loved film noir, he...

- Fuck is a 90 minute long documentary that offers and in-depth examination one of the most popular and offensive words in the English language. It is directed by Steve Anderson, who made an ambitious debut at the 2003 American Film Institute Film Festival with his narrative feature, The Big Empty (starring John Favreau, Daryl Hannah, Joey Lauren Adams, and Kelsey Grammar), which earned him comparisons to the likes of David Lynch and The Cohen Bothers. Prior to his directorial debut, Anderson was a cameraman with a Peabody Award and thousands of hours of broadcast television to his credit. The word fuck is one of the most versatile words in the English language, able to be used as a noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, and virtually every word in a sentence (“Fuck the fucking fuckers”), as illustrated in the film via an animation by Bill Pylmpton. It is also the most expensive word in history,
