...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...
...make a more illegal album," says Burton. "When it spread beyond being a little art project, of course EMI came after me." It wasn't just the cease-and-desist business that bothered him. He was also a little put out by the acclaim heaped on his Frankenstein's monster (ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY named it the best album of 2004).

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. It has a lot of choreography, and it's visually exciting--it's showcasing our sport as entertainment, not competition. And it's not just for the younger generation--it's one of the few events that dads and sons can equally enjoy...
