...social and cultural life. Unattached females--wisecracking, gutsy gals, not pathetic saps--are the heroine du jour in fiction, from Melissa Bank's collection of stories, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, to Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary, the publishing juggernaut that has spawned one sequel and will soon be a movie. The single woman is TV's It Girl as well, not just on Sex and the City, the smash HBO series in the midst of its third buzz-producing season, but also on a growing number of network shows focused on strong, career-minded single...
...tale of two other movies. Apatow's 2005 comedy The 40 Year Old Virgin made a star of Steve Carell, who was then signed to be the lead in Evan Almighty. It's a sequel to the Jim Carrey hit Bruce Almighty, in which an ordinary guy is given supernatural powers by God himself.

In this Internet-chatting, newscrawl-reading multicultural era, when filmmakers can thematically incorporate subtitles into the story, a corner may have been turned. It's happened before; remember only a few years back when everyone believed that letterboxing was blocking part of the screen? Now it's hard to find DVDs that aren't letterboxed. Still, for subtitling, it might be slow...
HELEN MIRREN, Oscar-winning star of The Queen, would rather break bread with Nic Cage than dine (by invitation) with the Queen of England. What could be more important than royalty? asks hipster travel guide JAUNTED, rhetorically. South Dakota! That's where Mirren is filming a National Treasure sequel. SCORE...
