...BUZZ The set radiated bad p.r.: there were rumors of reshoots and wild budget overruns (the reported cost is a mighty $185 million). And do comic-book fans really care if Superman is a lover as well as a fighter? New guy Routh fills out the blue tights, and Spacey looks like a deliciously loony Lex Luthor, but Clark Kent might need to find a new beat. -By Lev Grossman...
...lyrics can become incomprehensible to the casual listener. One of the more Cash-like songs is “Good Man,” a romantic celebration of music, love, and open spaces that just misses the familiarity of older country rock-n-roll with the addition of a spacey synthesizer. Just after “Good Man,” Ritter touches on the traditional story of the wandering man’s bittersweet remorse in “Best for the Best.” While the tracks here don’t deal exclusively with the stereotypical...

But despite James’ voice and the enthusiasm that the band put into each track, several tracks on the album...

Especially when he's not directing. British director David Grindley (fresh from directing Kevin Spacey in National Anthems at the Old Vic) is calling the shots for the world premiere of Some Girl(s), which opened May 24 at London's Gielgud Theatre and stars former Friend David Schwimmer as a man who, on the eve of his wedding, is compelled to have a final heart...
