...darkest. 16 Grandmothers (Sept. 18), 16 Students (Oct. 10) and 16 Assholes (Nov. 7) The Rhino Fest at the Curious Theatre Branch features one-night stands based on (you guessed it) the number 16. Monty Python's Spamalot (Shubert Theatre, Dec. 21?Jan. 16) - Eric Idle's retread of Monty Python and the Holy Grail opens in Chicago and stars Tim Curry, Hank Azaria and David Hyde Pierce...
...summer. His Nutcracker tours Japan and Korea in the spring, and maybe the U.S. later in the year. There are plans for his searing Swan Lake to visit Paris and tour the U.K. and U.S. in late 2004. Bourne also plans to revive Highland Fling (à La Sylphide retread, with a Scottish welder seduced by a vampire) and, in 2005, choreograph a dance version of the Tim Burton movie Edward Scissorhands. Oh, and did we mention that he's slated to co-direct (with Richard Eyre) and choreograph the much-hyped Disney?Cameron Mackintosh stage show of Mary Poppins...
...that doesn’t just grab the viewer’s attention, it seizes it with a CGI-enhanced grip and never lets go. It is a visual feast, a riot of apocalyptic imagery and beautifully photographed shots.

The Love Boat put a prime-time-friendly face on the swinging '70s; Dynasty was the very shorthand for '80s crassness. Titans is a retread, clogged with louche lushes in tuxes and gowns, its old-money family saga as tired as the Williams bloodline. Even casting Victoria Principal as Williams' ex-wife, apparently meant to recall what fun Dallas was, simply reminds us that Principal can't read a line...
...screen, never fear-this big-budget update of Jay Ward's beloved cartoon (celebrating its 40th anniversary) is actually in the same vein as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, placing everyone's favorite flying squirrel/moose tandem in an otherwise live-action world. More than just a simple retread of the original series, the new film works under the premise that the show was cancelled, leaving Rocky and Bullwinkle in the real world, looking for work. They suddenly have a chance to save the day when diabolical Fearless Leader (De Niro) and his henchmen, Boris (Alexander of Seinfeld) and Natasha (Rene Russo...
