Kill Bill -- and maybe Vladimir and Igor while you're at it

Posted Wednesday July 9, 2008, 2:14 pm, Over one day old
The decisions to make these pics is informed in part by the thinking that if you put a big title from a previous (but not too previous) an era back on the screen you can lift a certain marketing burden, since people haven't really forgotten the original.

Hollywood's new kinkiness

Posted Tuesday July 8, 2008, 10:41 am, Over one day old
For the last decade or so, bigscreen hits have made their way to Broadway and sometimes back again -- "The Lion King" and "Legally Blonde," "The Wedding Singer" and "The Full Monty," "Beauty and the Beast" and "Hairspray."

Take a chance on....Phyllida Lloyd?

Posted Thursday July 3, 2008, 10:55 am, Over one day old
Bennett's a superior critic, and he makes a very persuasive case, but we'll also admit we're still not entirely convinced, at least based on the little we saw. The show was such great fun because it had this good-vibes singalong feel to it.

One Hancock review we can sign on for

Posted Wednesday July 2, 2008, 10:14 am, Over one day old
Dargis is no such filmgoer; she gives the film its props, and then some. Certainly the movie has its flaws, and some of the exposition is silly, but overall it's the most interesting take on the genre in years, admirably free of superhero cliche.

Gobs and gobs of Arrested Development?

Posted Wednesday July 2, 2008, 10:14 am, Over one day old
At Monday night's premiere of "Hancock," the actor said "we're all on board" to do the film, but admitted there's no script and he doesn't know whether creator Mitch Hurwitz has even met with Fox brass. Bateman's not the only one pushing the project.

On the (rubber-clad) wings of Angelina

Posted Tuesday July 1, 2008, 12:48 pm, Over one day old
--In her three leading dramatic roles, she hasn't cracked $15 million. Not only is Jolie believable as an action hero -- which means the target-demo males won't be put off (and in fact may be turned on) -- but with her high Q rating among women she opens up an action movie to female audiences too.

What studio execs (and writers and director) really Wanted

Posted Monday June 30, 2008, 11:41 am, Over one day old
"Wanted" is a significant departure from its source material; the villains in the original comic-books were running the show a lot more than they did in the film. But "Wanted" the movie is also a departure from, well, "Wanted" the movie.

For Wall-E, a different kind of metal?

Posted Monday June 30, 2008, 11:41 am, Over one day old
But it may be even more wild this year. What's more, as well-reviewed as it was, "Ratatouille" trails even "Wall-E" when it comes to a critical Q rating; at 96% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, it's one tick higher than that film (and also higher than any best picture winner in nearly a decade).
