...curse of a female ghost and is certainly teeming with oddballs. It's the old story of the city slicker out-crazied by the remote rubes. Unfamiliarity with Malaysian film conventions may leave you wondering whether the tone is comic or melodramatic or simply extraterrestrial. No matter: enjoy the gorgeous neo-primitive imagery and the inexplicable shenanigans. We'll bet that even Malaysians were pleasantly baffled...
...likely, Atlas, Carl carries his house and the world's burden on his back; his wish for escape is also a sacred responsibility, to take Ellie to Paradise Falls. Thanks to some extraordinarily favorable trade winds, that's where Carl and Russell land. Instantly they find the bird - a gorgeous, jollier version of Chuck Jones' cartoon Road Runner - that eluded Muntz for decades. He's dubbed Kevin by Russell, who has a knack for attracting exotic creatures, including a pack of electronic dogs. (Peterson lends his sharp vocal skills to the lead dog, Alpha, and the goofily endearing, polylingual...
Could this be what it felt like for Alice when she went through the looking glass? The elevator that transports guests down to Bel Canto provides a surreal start to an evening in London's first lyrical dining room - the elevator carriage resembles a shrunken La Fenice, Venice's gorgeous opera house.

He's expected to return as part of the contingent promoting Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. This is the film Heath Ledger was shooting when he died in Jan. 2008; Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell graciously stepped in to assume different aspects of the Ledger role. Fans here will greet Depp as an honorary Frenchman; his spouse-equivalent, and the mother...
...biggest complaint about TCM, however, is that it has virtually no competition. Fox Movie Channel also runs its library's films without commercial interruption, and we're grateful for all those gorgeous '40s musicals, but the catalog is severely limited. As for oldies from Paramount and Universal, they're almost impossible to find, except in bootleg editions. The rumor that surfaced last week about Time Warner possibly buying NBC Universal was cheered by FOOFs, because then those two invaluable archives would be under Feltenstein's loving aegis. If the rumor isn't true, couldn't the Paramount-Universal films stock...
