...Madagascar's real agenda is to build a bridge between infantile and adult humor. It has references to movies three to five times as old as its kid audience: Born Free, naturally, and Chariots of Fire and Planet of the Apes ("Darn you! Darn you all to heck!"). For the kids there are lots of funny spit takes and an abounding love for all things rectal. (To define the top two CGI studios by their favorite bodily functions, Pixar is farts, and DreamWorks is poop.) Add an outrageously adorable baby lemur and a penguin applying suntan lotion...
...readers of the arch-serious Hours will be surprised to find themselves in a jittery, edgy, very contemporary mystery story about urban terrorism. And then, in another sharp turn, the third part takes us to a future Manhattan populated by lifelike androids and lizard-like aliens, refugees from another planet. (That section also features Cunningham's first-ever car chase.) What holds the disparate components of Specimen Days together is Cunningham's intense focus on New York City as a crucible in which we're forced to confront the radically foreign-even alien-realities of death, technology, urban life...

...bought eight years ago by Chicago's Field Museum for $8.4 million, the biggest bucks ever spent on a dinosaur fossil, plenty of jaws of the human variety dropped. Sue, the largest and most intact Tyrannosaurus rex found anywhere, has proved to be the most marketable dinosaur on the planet. The museum last week celebrated Sue's fifth "birthday" (she was first unveiled in 2000) with theater performances, dino-size puppets and super-size cakes. Along with such merchandise as T shirts and a Sue backpack ($22.95), 14 new Sue-themed toys, including paintable figurines and magnetic sculptures, will soon...
