...begins with a blurred image set to an ominous drumbeat, suggesting that this may be the start of a documentary about, say, serial killers. Slowly the grayness on the screen reveals an unflattering picture of ... Stephen Harper, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. "Who paid for Stephen Harper's rise to the head of the party?" a female voice asks. "We do know he's very popular with right-wingers in the U.S. They have money. Maybe they helped...
Before casting BEYONCE, center, in his big-screen version of the musical Dreamgirls, director Bill Condon had one worry: "I needed to know she could become a restrained, sedate character," he says. Once the singer proved she could put a clamp on the amps, Condon picked Tony winner ANIKA NONI ROSE, left, and American Idol's JENNIFER HUDSON to fill out the Dreams, a 1960s group loosely based on the Supremes.

Boehner's backers were thrilled when the widely forwarded spreadsheet produced a front-page headline in The Hill, a newspaper focused...
...beautiful Russian returns his feelings, as he hesitates with both speech and movement. The interactions between Fiennes and Richardson are the high point of the film, but occur too infrequently in the storyline. Their chemistry is undeniable and one wonders why they are not paired on-screen more often (“Maid in Manhattan” notwithstanding). The film juggles the troubled relationship between Todd and Sofia, offset by escalating tensions in a Shanghai soon to be invaded by the Japanese. Both Sofia and Todd have lost everything in their lives and, because of this, find comfort...
