...means of creation. Pixar writer-directors, working in a San Francisco suburb far from the seat of industry power, get lots of staff support but pursue their visions more or less on their own. DreamWorks movies, made mostly in the Hollywood suburb of Glendale, are team efforts. A Pixar film may have one writer besides the director; it's total auteur handicraft. Most DreamWorks movies credit two directors and several writers, and play like the spiffiest vaudeville. The DreamWorkers aren't in the masterpiece business; they just want to provide an expert good time...
Miley Cyrus, another moneymaker whose films are pretty much off the blockbuster radar, enjoyed a decent opening of $16.2 million, and $25.6 million for its first five days, for The Last Song. With the same learn-to-love-your-daddy plot as her Hannah Montana: The Movie hit from last spring, the new picture is based on a screenplay and novel by Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, Dear John), the go-to guy for young-adult weepies. Once a princess of the Disney Channel, Cyrus has generated more than a quarter-billion dollars with her first three movies (the Hannah Montana...

Lawyer Al Pacino spumed and ranted in the 1979 film ...And Justice for All and Forsythe, as a judge, manfully gaveled him down. When Bill Murray, as the rapacious network executive in the 1989 Scrooged, needed a talking to, Forsythe, even in corpse makeup, had the authority to do it. You might say he was upstaged by Joan Collins' brunette...
...whom believe they may have killed Harry. Forsythe, naturally, is the cave of common sense they retreat to for sage advice ("You're not supposed to bury bodies whenever you find them - it makes people suspicious") and comfort (he woos and wins the young Shirley MacLaine, in her film debut). Hitchcock called on Forsythe twice in the '60s, as a man accused of murder in the 1962 TV drama I Saw the Whole Thing, and seven years later, as a government agent in Topaz. Except for an interlude of rapturous Cuban deceit between a Castro type and a femme fatale...
...Attending a film where you know everyone in the theater is either in the same situation as you or is at least informed that the 'Silence is golden' policy doesn't apply today takes the tension away," says Angela Vandersteen of Greenwood, Ind., who takes her 5-year-old son Ray to the screenings. When Marianne Ross takes Meaghan to the movies, she also takes along her 8-year-old son Gavin, who does not have autism; he has developed a network of friends who are siblings of autistic kids at the screenings.
