...sorts of awards for Jennifer Hudson, and Lord knows it's got zazz. But Bill Condon's movie about a Supremes-like girl group lacks the thrill and threat of the 1981 Broadway musical sensation on which it was based. The picture has a second-half sag, maybe because it added so many new songs and story lines to accommodate all its stars. Nice try, guys; near miss...

...Children of Húrin is set in the First Age of Middle Earth, six and a half millennia pre-Frodo, back when Treebeard was barely shaving (Tolkien scholars will know that The Lord of the Rings takes place in Middle Earth's Third Age). The First Age has a different feel to it: it's younger and wilder somehow.
