<P>Who knew gymnastics was so counterculture?</P>
<P>I pose this question as a joke, of course, though there's always been something different and, dare I say, weird about female competitive gymnastics. Those hard-nosed, nutty coaches; those …[全文»]

<P>Ernst Lubitsch, Hollywood's master of sophisticated comedy in the continental manner, surprised movie audiences with The Shop Around the Corner (1940), a sentimental, homespun story of combative coworkers in a Budapest leather-goods store wh…[全文»]

<P>Hannah And Her Sisters is an ensemble film in the truest sense, broken into a collection of segments which explore the lives, loves and personal crises of an extended family in New York. Opening at the traditional family Thanksgiving party, …[全文»]

<P>Martian Child wants to make us cry. It nearly made me gag. This is an exercise in shameless and inept emotional manipulation. The film doesn't try to hide what it's doing. If you don't cry, it hasn't worked. There's not a single genuine huma…[全文»]

<P>The biopic genre has taken a critical and commercial drubbing of late, what with Sofia Coppola's Elle-magazine version of Marie Antoinette and Steven Shainberg's egregiously misconceived Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus. Sadly, the …[全文»]

<P>If there’s one thing that’s clear from this revue of ABBA’s hit songs, it’s that there really aren’t all that many great ABBA songs, hits or no. “Dancing Queen,” sure, and “Take a Chance on Me” are pretty catchy, I’ll grant, and ma…[全文»]

<P>`The Illusionist is the kind of film that could too easily get lost in the summertime crowd, which is a shame because it's a lot a fun - an infectious mix of romance, mystery, and magic. Filmmaker Neil Burger (Interview with an Assassin), ad…[全文»]

<P>And, in terms of Antonio Banderas, this is a good thing. The compelling actor, who has long been chocked up as mere sizzle (the man could make baking muffins a passionate, smoldering experience), has always managed to magically combine his m…[全文»]

Teaming Stewart, Sullavan and Morgan, just as in Borzage's The Mortal Storm (made the same year), this also deals with troubled romance in Central Europe, though here the threat is not Nazism but pride and the interference of others, as Stewart…[全文»]

<P>So far my experiences with Disney's "direct-to-video" (DTV) animation haven' t been particularly compelling. Of the programs I've watched, they've been mildly entertaining at best but have tended to appear pretty lackluster and uninspired. <…[全文»]

<P>Whenever a contemporary comedy attempts to deal with how hard it is to be the parent of a teenage girl, you know a thong scene is inevitable: That moment when Mom or Dad finds the offending miniature triangular scrap in the laundry basket an…[全文»]

<P>David Slade's "Hard Candy" is against pedophilia, but what does it think about sadomasochism? On one level, it's a revenge picture about a 14-year-old girl who entraps a 32-year-old pedophile on the Internet, gets herself invited to his home…[全文»]

<P>There are some films so high-concept that you practically need an oxygen mask to watch them; if the phrase “Clueless meets St Trinian’s” wasn’t mentioned during the pitching process I’ll eat my mortar board, with a side order of Latin p…[全文»]

<P>Be Cool</P>
<P>Elmore Leonard's novels were hip and ironic before that was even cool. Now that the rest of the world has caught up with him in the 90s, movies based on his books (Get Shorty, Out of Sight) are big... and movies not based on…[全文»]

<P>Shanghai Kiss is a pleasant surprise, firstly with its choice of casting and also with its structure. </P>
<P>Liam Liu (Ken Leung) is a struggling Chinese-American actor in Hollywood who is disillusioned with life and doesn’t see where he…[全文»]
