Although its name suggests something racy, the X-Club is strictly PG - if you don't count the killing. But it's the killing that brings scores of regulars - mostly professionals in their twenties and thirties, equally divided between men and women - to the basement of a tall building in the affluent and vaguely bohemian Weigongcun district of China's capital. The killing at X-Club, of course, is done with the eyes, in a winking game that in other countries is confined to pre-teens. Killer, also known as Mafia and Murder, has existed in the United States...
...past 22 years and who runs Overbrook Entertainment, the production company named for the high school they attended. Before Smith finished his senior year, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince released their first album, and Smith decided to forgo college for show business.

While touring Asia with Run-D.M.C., Smith witnessed "10,000 Japanese b-boys [hip-hop fans] at the airport," he says. When DJ Run took off his Adidas sneaker and held it up, "10,000 kids took...

It also takes a while to grow accustomed to the faces of Hrothgar, his wife Wealthow (Robin Wright Penn) and the oily counselor Unferth (John Malkovich). The faces have lines and creases, but they don't look lived in. This quibble subsides when Beowulf appears. The political drama of the palace is instantly...
...Claus (Kathy Bates) is the same kind of ego-destroyer as Steve Carell's mother is in Dan in Real Life. Her ragging on Fred, while Nick becomes a hero to children every December, leads Fred to spectacular resentment.? In a scene that's way too "ouch" for a PG comedy, grown-up Nick says, "You hate me," and grown-up Fred replies, "I don't hate you, Nick. I just wish you were never born." Later, Nick sends Fred a note: "I'm sorry I cut down your tree." Can this conflict get any more forthrightly phallic...
