...Kobe when she turned 16. She wanted a starring role in a film, and she was prepared to be patient. She has been called the new Lucille Ball and the next Gilda Radner, thanks to her deft, daft turns on the Nickelodeon skit-com series All That. Nick's Kids Choice awards named her Favorite Television Actress three years running. But, she says, "I want to be looked at as an adult actress. That's why I didn't want to do a big movie when I was 11. I was waiting till I was a little bit older." Bynes...
...What's great about the kids today," Ross says, "is that they can act exactly the age they are. That's the throwback to Mickey and Judy putting on a show. Today kids put on a show every day, and millions come to watch." Ross is referring to Nick and the Disney Channel, two of cable's major revenue and talent streams. But he and others are convinced that the stars--and, more important, their fans--can meet in the movie theaters.

...always kind of goofy," says Bynes. "And I had all this energy. Getting to put on wigs and props and doing characters was perfect for me."

...GOOD THIEF. Neil Jordan, who hasn’t directed a feature since 1999’s The End of the Affair, ends his absence with this heist film, based upon Jean-Pierre Melville’s jazzy 1955 noir Bob le Flambeur. Nick Nolte, who weathered a well-publicized DUI arrest last year, does nothing to rehabilitate his image by starring as a graying, heroin-addicted gambler who tries to rob a casino. Holding the film together are a passel of modern noir/heist elements—the prostitute, the chummy detective, the technology whiz, exotic locations and lush cinematography...
LAWLESS HEART. Friends and family converge on a small town in northern England for a funeral in Lawless Heart. Stuart, the deceased, was a young gay man who leaves behind a healthy bank account and successful restaurant when he drowns off the Isle of Man. Nick, his partner, and Dan, his brother-in-law, immediately begin competing over the restaurant. Both are sidetracked by unexpected relationships: Nick with his first woman, and Dan with an inappropriately frisky female guest at Stuart’s funeral. The film’s structure is initially somewhat confusing-it revisits the funeral...
