...tykes who effortlessly steal each of their scenes. Particularly effective are Billy (Brian Falduto), the band stylist with a surefire future in the Fab Five, and Summer (Miranda Cosgrove), whose tireless moralizing as “class fac-TO-tum” and eventual band manager provides a wonderful foil to the wayward Finn. In fact, the students are so endearing and so memorable that their presence becomes ultimately more welcome than Black’s. Quite often—and especially during the film’s climax—the movie is content showcasing Black?...
...will return home when the show moves to Boston in February. Vuillard is the most comprehensive exhibit ever dedicated to the artist, with 230 paintings, drawings, photographs and theatrical posters produced between the late 1880s and the 1930s.

Leon Lai makes his action-hero debut here, playing a police hypnotist drafted to foil evil Francis Ng, who is trying to get his hands on some precious gems. Lai, perennial romantic-comedy star and one of the original "heavenly Kings" of Canto-pop, makes a sympathetic leading man. When we find that Ng has taken Lai's family hostage, we eagerly anticipate his inevitable revenge. For an action movie that lingers over a few touchy-feely scenes, Lai is an inspired selection. Lai for the most...
