The film 'Black Hawk Down' paints the Somali people as wild savages.

I'm proud of 'Black Hawk Down' because I think it told a provocative story and it was honest. It could have had more opportunity to tell both sides of the story, but I'm still proud of it.

I'm an Englishman who did a film on Mogadishu, 'Black Hawk Down.'

'Black Swan' does what Hollywood movies have always done - it spends its energies on getting some surface things right while getting everything important wrong.

When Iron Man's flying, we'd send real planes up to do the choreography so that we'd get the camerawork to really look like a cameraman was following from another plane. It gives it that 'Top Gun' look.

It's about very talented writers, directors, producers, and actors being in a position for their projects to be supported, but there's just not enough black projects being made.

I love action films, and to be able to put together 'Silver Hawk' was so exciting.
