...girl from St. Louis who wowed Paris as an erotic free spirit, beguiles again in a Kino collection (April) that includes Siren of the Tropics, Zouzou and Princess Tam-Tam. Another form of volcanic energy was unleashed in the '50s TV shows headlined by Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. A package of their zaniest work, When TV Was Funny (Feb. 8), should prove that the French are not fou in their amour de Jer. This year will mark 50 years since the death, at 24, of the movies' all-time tragic man-boy, James Dean. A DVD will package...

The centerpiece of the celebration in L.A. is the spectacular Kingdom Day Parade, which has been held for the past 20 years. Comprising dozens of floats, drill teams...
...couldn’t help but ponder this frustrating paradox during Martin Scorsese’s newest, The Aviator, a film chronicling the life of Hollywood wonderboy Howard Hughes. There is no question that Martin Scorsese is a brilliant and gifted filmmaker, but his new biopic is lifeless—a word rarely applied to the always vital Scorsese. It is a film without passion seemingly made solely to finally get Scorsese the Oscar his previous work has so richly deserved...
