...BendIt like Beckham, the soccer movie that has grossed more than $100 million worldwide since 2002 and now incessantly runs on HBO, the two main characters, British teenage girls who dream of becoming the next Mia Hamm, stare at a television screen, jaws agape. They are watching a promo for the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), the American professional league that featured the best female players in the world, including Hamm, Brazil's Katia and Bai Jie of China. Brandi Chastain knocks a header into the net. England's Kelly Smith shakes a defender. Unbelievable, the girls...

PRACTICALLY EVERY successful Broadway musical these days seems to look backward in one way or another. There are musicals inspired by old rock groups (Mamma Mia), old movies (Hairspray) and old husbands of Liza Minnelli's (The Boy from Oz). So it may be no surprise that somebody decided to make a musical based on the 1975 film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But Spamalot--scheduled to open on Broadway in March--could give the tired old genre a happy jolt. The movie, after all, seems a challenge from the get-go: an unwieldy hodgepodge of slapstick, splatter...

...live in Paris during the 1930s. To the south, the Spanish Civil War is raging with the fascist Nationalists slowly crushing the Republican freedom fighters, and just ahead lies the impending Nazi invasion of France. Although she is eager to ignore these things, Guy and her Spanish roommate Mia (Penelope Cruz) won’t allow her to, by constantly moping and debating over the most recent news reports and, ultimately, by leaving her to join the Republican Army in Spain. Guy and, to a lesser degree, Mia obviously (far too obviously) represent the deluded idealism of the enraged youth...

...stunning” Parisian backdrops are clearly matte paintings—the movie’s three primary characters never achieve humanity; they start out as and remain types. Gilda is the extroverted and rambunctious bohemian socialite, Guy is the wide-eyed British schoolboy with a conscience, and Mia is the long-suffering martyr who has made it through the school of hard knocks and is turning around to take another long lap. Even real-life lovebirds Theron and Townsend fail to make their on-screen relationship believable. It’s impossible to either identify or sympathize with their...
