<P>"The Mexican" stars Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts and involves a quirky, offbeat relationship--but it's not between Brad and Julia, it's between Julia and James Gandolfini. I like it that way. Considering how badly Jerry and Samantha--the Brad…[全文»]

"The Mexican" pairs Brad Pitt with Julia Roberts in a dream casting coup that promises a road movie of blissful comic romance and delivers a series of dramatic dead ends. Pitt plays Jerry, a low-rent mob bagman whose girlfriend, Samantha (Rober…[全文»]

<P>Following two horrific live-action versions of Theodore "Dr. Seuss" Geisel's beloved children's stories, the author's estate wisely decided to keep the next Seuss-to-screen translation in the animated realm. But even though the new cartoon H…[全文»]

<P>For me, there's a litmus test for remakes: are they sufficiently different and/or interesting in their own right that their existence is easily defended? Admittedly, it's a lot easier to argue the case for a new version of Alfie (to today's …[全文»]

<P>The Departed is a perfect example of why remakes shouldn't be dismissed out of hand. Director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter William Monahan have taken the B-grade Hong Kong crime flick Infernal Affairs and re-imagined it as an American ep…[全文»]

<P>The wonder is that it took Disney so long to get to the gods of Greek mythology. ``Hercules'' jumps into the ancient legends feet-first, cheerfully tossing out what won't fit and combining what's left into a new look and a lighthearted style…[全文»]

<P>Thinking to read The Merchant of Venice one more time, I took down the volume of Shakespeare's tragedies, only to be reminded that this dark and troubling play is classified with his comedies. Its two natures come from different spheres; sun…[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>Oh, the mugging in this thing. You would not believe how many of the actors spend all their precious screentime contorting their face into extravagant comical positions, making sure every single audience member comprehends "College Road Trip…[全文»]

<P>The title says it all with Kung Fu Panda, an appropriately upbeat if occasionally flat account of a panda who wants to be a hero. As voiced by Jack Black, the panda Po is just about the whole show, apart from a few nifty action sequences and…[全文»]

<P>Nothing kills a romantic comedy faster than romanticism. When characters start making moony remarks about how each person can have only one true love in a lifetime, or launch into overheated speeches about how they long for "a love so real t…[全文»]

<P>"Remember the Titans" is a parable about racial harmony, yoked to the formula of a sports movie. Victories over racism and victories over opposing teams alternate so quickly that sometimes we're not sure if we're cheering for tolerance or to…[全文»]

<P>At first I thought, in spite of myself: Okay, this might work. I mostly hate romantic comedies because they tend to be neither romantic or comedic, and because they tend to be full of characters who behave in ways illogical even in the roman…[全文»]

<P>I've never been much of a fan of the Stan Lee/Steve Ditko-created comic book character, Doctor Strange, which is why I'm surprised to say that Marvel's fourth animated direct-to-video feature proves to be their best so far (after the disappo…[全文»]

<P>Reading Laura Hillenbrand's wonderful "Seabiscuit" was like finally discovering a standard song you'd heard about but had never actually heard. A love song that drew a firm line between well-deep emotion and sentimentality and never strayed,…[全文»]
