...Funny (Feb. 8), should prove that the French are not fou in their amour de Jer. This year will mark 50 years since the death, at 24, of the movies' all-time tragic man-boy, James Dean. A DVD will package his three starring films--East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant--as well as a new documentary assessing Dean's uncanny staying power.

He has sent a small contingent to Darfur to help restore stability after clashes between the government and rebel forces.

Hotel Rwanda reminds us of that with dramatic force and compelling poignancy. --With reporting by Kate Novack/New York
