 GreenCine | French New Wave
Most agree that the French New Wave was at its peak between 1958 and 1964, but it continued to ripple on afterwards, with many of the tendencies and styles introduced by the movement still in practice today.
This isn't the New Wave, relax, we're not there yet - and chief among these was René Clément, who had co-directed the classic surrealist fairy tale Beauty and the Beast with playwright Jean Cocteau, and then in the 1950s, furthered his reputation with Forbidden Games.
Although arguably not part of the New Wave himself because his films of the era were seemingly lighthearted and fluffy, I'd argue that his tips of the hat to the musical are no less engaging than Godard's or Truffaut's to the gangster film, and that he deserves a place in this canon.

 New Scientist - From the Publisher
After 50 years of publishing the aim of New Scientist broadly remains the same as it was back in November 1956: “published for all those men and women who are interested in scientific discovery and in its industrial, commercial and social consequences”.
It is a fair criticism that New Scientist did not make clear enough how controversial Roger Shawyer’s engine is. We should have made more explicit where it apparently contravenes the laws of nature and reported that several physicists declined to comment on the device because they thought it too contentious.
The momentum exchange is between the electromagnetic wave and the engine, which is attached to the spacecraft.

If you're like most people, you've probably heard of the French New Wave or Dogme95, but when asked at a party to explain what they are or to name more than a couple of films, you may struggle a little bit.
About Mumblecore, it's such a new and still very much open-ended idea (the filmmakers themselves aren't too eager to call it a "movement") that it's probably best covered at our blog, GreenCine Daily.
