...Christian family: righteous wife (Laura Harring), rebellious son (Paul Dano) and a daughter (Pell James) searching for love, divine or carnal. The movie's fuse is far too long, but there is an explosion, when The King rips off its mask of observational drama to reveal itself as a monster movie with gore galore. Only an actor with García Bernal's appealing seriousness could keep the trick of his character hidden so far up his sleeve. In recent festivals, Cannes has rewarded films critical of American crimes and adventures. Gus Van Sant's Elephant, a reimagining...

It stars Luke Wilson as a present-day dim bulb who is put to sleep for 1,000 years and wakes up to discover he is the brightest man in an incredibly--but plausibly--dumbed-down future. Could it be that, over a millennium, people...

YOUR BOOM BOOM HUCKJAM ARENA TOUR STARTS IN JUNE. IS IT NASCAR FOR TWEENS? I'd liken it less to NASCAR or a Monster Truck show and more to Cirque du Soleil.
