...return to form with Don't Come Knocking, his first collaboration with playwright-actor Sam Shepherd since their Paris, Texas won the Palme d'Or in 1984. Or that there will be a special savor to Tommy Lee Jones' directorial debut, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, written by Guillermo Arriaga, of Amores Perros and 21 Grams fame. Or that Broken Flowers, with Jim Jarmusch directing Bill Murray, Jessica Lange, Sharon Stone and Tilda Swinton, will launch that indie icon into the movie mainstream.

Ron Perlman, of TV’s Beauty and the Beast fame, has the chops (and the eyebrows and the jawbones) to deliver Hellboy’s throwaway one-liners and punches with the appropriate devil-may-care élan: he’s Dirty Harry with a penchant for beer and pancakes, a superhero-everyman...
