...demonstrates that her voice, if not the exuberant, no-holds-barred instrument it once was, can still curl stylishly around numbers like I Got Rhythm and Baubles, Bangles and Beads. A little nostalgia, a little Broadway pizazz, a little coming to terms with middle age (she's even got new lyrics for I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore)--what better way for Liza Minnelli, 53, to announce she's back...
Disney typically gambles big, then hedges its bets. To make F2K an event, it will premiere the film on Dec. 17 at New York City's Carnegie Hall, with James Levine, artistic director of the Metropolitan Opera, conducting the London Philharmonia. The orchestra will also play during the movie in London, Paris, Tokyo and, on New Year's Eve, Pasadena, Calif. Then, for four months, the film will be shown only on the gigantic screens in 75 IMAX theaters. (Our advice to moviegoers: sit in the back!)

Getting reacquainted with Dad's movies "helped me so much," she says. "Sometimes God says, 'Slow down, you've got something important to do.' I feel like this was meant...
...movie can feel bloated in the next. That's the case with The Green Mile, reverently taken from King's serialized novel. It's 1935, and we're on a Southern prison's death row, where the only recreation is watching a mouse commandeer the corridor. Enter a new inmate, John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a giant black man with a gift of preternatural empathy; he can literally suck the pain out of people. Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks), the chief guard of E Block, is in awe of this white magic. He benefits from it, uses it to help...
