...Mount Doom, but Jackson has enough cavalier filmmaking tricks and jaw-dropping special effects to compensate. The Return of the King was the most bloated and overwrought of the series; where the first two films maintained a carefully measured momentum that culminated in bravura war sequences, the final chapter is plagued with poor editing between its parallel story lines and a seemingly undying denouement. But for all the harsh words (no doubt prompted by unrealistically high expectations for the film), I loved the movie, and it fits beautifully in the context of the entire trilogy...
Director Patty Jenkins’s debut feature Monster, chronicles the sanguinous final chapter of infamous serial killer Aileen Wuornos and the personal trials that may have led to her murder of seven men. The film has garnered as much attention for star Charlize Theron’s monstrous makeover into the less-than-comely prostitute murderess as it did for the actual performance.

...trumpet fanfare of German composer Gottfried Reiche?s ?Abblasen? (rendered for the first 25 years by Doc Severinsen, and now by Winton Marsalis) introduces Osgood standing at a 7-ft. sculpture on which are displayed the morning?s chapter headings - the table of contents for this magazine show. Osgood runs though the half-dozen main stories, then reads the news ?for today, February 15th, twenty-oh-four.? The show revels in mild eccentricities; some of the most prominent are Osgood?s bow tie, his occasional flights of doggerel and his persistent disdain for the locution ?two thousand four...
