...glamour goes, you can't get much lower than a radio play. So why have MERYL STREEP, Peter Dinklage and Hope Davis signed up for one? Because Charlie Kaufman asked them to. The Oscar-winning screenwriter made his directing debut with Hope Leaves the Theater, a play with many characters but just three actors. "The nonvisual aspect of it appealed to me," says Kaufman, who has Streep voicing a parody of herself and a black teen, among others. The play had short runs in New York City and London, and will go on to Los Angeles and Sirius radio. Could...
Movie romance is a snapshot of beautiful women turning grief into glamour, passion into pictures. The camera here (mainly manned by cinematographer Christopher Doyle) monitors their hearts like a fond lover, capturing Gong's fire-and-ice hauteur, Faye Wong's elfin radiance, Zhang's panoply of pouts, flirtations and surrendering smiles.

Its pearly artistry and gorgeous faces should put you quickly, deeply, in the mood for love. --By Richard Corliss

...Kingdom a desperate exercise in copycat tourism that ignores Hong Kong's special attributes in favor of a dated American formula that will bring scant benefit? I know of no such equivalent in or around Monte Carlo?or, for that matter, in Nice and Cannes, both of which combine glamour, history, good food, a healthy climate and the flamboyant luxury of megayachts. By all means bring a casino to Hong Kong. But make it Monte Carlo, not Macau, which today has little more visual appeal than Shenzhen. Hong Kong does not need millions of low-income tourists playing pennies...
