...Coen brothers’ limp remake of a classic Alec Guinness comedy has its occasional laughs, but ends up becoming boring in its pursuit of essentially sweet comedy. Tom Hanks is the leader of a gang of robbers forced to masquerade as a band in order to rent church-lady Irma P. Hall’s basement because it connects to the basement of their target.

"Old people should retire," vented one furious participant on an Internet bulletin board. "Chan looks limp and wrinkled, lacking proper manners in his 50s." Wrote another: "He's an ignorant person making ignorant comments, and a poor Hong Konger who knows nothing about democracy." Chan's father was a secret agent for the Kuomintang on the mainland pre-1949, and in the past Chan has worked...
...Oscars in February??? This year's ceremony, with host Billy Crystal, is three weeks earlier than usual. One reason: the Academy didn't want its big show to limp into view two months after the Golden Globes and the People's Choice Awards had co-opted much of Oscar's clout. Another reason: TV revenue. ABC, a major-network also-ran, wants the show that earns its highest ratings and biggest ad income to be aired during the February sweeps month...
