...Kong, the shrill one (Chris Tucker) from L.A.--do battle against malefactors of nearly every race. It's good to see Zhang Ziyi, the high-flying ingenue from Crouching Tiger, in a dragon-lady role, and fetching Roselyn Sanchez as a woman of uncertain loyalties. But until a vigorous climax, the action scenes have little punch. The film seems content to rely on the formula that could (small sigh) extend for a few more sequels: Jackie kicks butt; Chris kicks sass...
...Pinter turned 70 last October, and a year of international tributes reaches its climax this month with a string of high-profile events. At London's New Ambassador's Theatre, the writer himself stars in a Gate Theatre of Dublin production of his One for the Road, a brutal study of torture and totalitarianism (July 3-7). Across the city, the Royal Court Theatre is performing a Pinter double-bill, Mountain Language and Ashes to Ashes. After London, the Royal Court show and One for the Road will travel to New York City with two other Gate productions, the double...
Hard as it may be to imagine, 20,000 years ago--when the last Ice Age reached its climax--much of North America looked like something out of Africa's teeming Serengeti Plain. Roaming through grasslands and forests were mammoths and mastodons with huge, curved tusks, ground sloths the size of rhinos and bison with sharp-tipped horns that measured more than 6 ft. from tip to tip. Bear-size beavers roamed the forests. Large-headed llamas grazed in rocky meadows. And giant armadillos maneuvered across the landscape like living armored tanks...
...critics, the film's the thing with which to catch the temper of the times, the state of the art. And at Cannes 2001 some magic was missing. A day before the festival's Sunday climax, veterans were guessing that the jury, headed by actress Liv Ullmann, would award prizes to Nanni Moretti's The Son's Room, Joel Coen's The Man Who Wasn't There, Jacques Rivette's Va savoir (Who Knows) and the first-ever entry from Bosnia, Danis Tanovic's No Man's Land. Worthy films all?but the best of a mediocre bunch. There...
...just reached the third issue. Co-written by David Tischman and drawn by Marc Laming, Chaykin and company have already packed in enough for several other lesser titles. The first page of issue one starts us off in 1949 and sets the tone. As a man and woman reach climax inside a pretty, white, suburban house, we see the woman's husband, former WWII pilot Harry Block, popping pills and imagining pointing his commercial jetliner into a nosedive...
