...Complicated, Jane, a woman in her late 50s, played by Meryl Streep, 60, is an object of great desire. Her ex-husband, Jake (Alec Baldwin), who left her 10 years ago for a skinny meanie, has suddenly taken to eyeing Jane as if she were the comeliest pole dancer in his favorite strip club. Meanwhile, a lonely, reasonably attractive architect named Adam (Steve Martin) wants to take her to French film festivals and do the Wild and Crazy-guy dance with...
...Avatar faces a quicker, stiffer challenge from the debuts of a big romantic comedy (It's Complicated, with Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin), a big action picture (Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. as the martial-arts sleuth) and Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, plus the long-awaited wide release of Up in the Air.

Robert DeNiro was feted by a handful of actors including Sharon Stone and Ben Stiller in light comic banter, giving a black-box theater feel to the enormous Kennedy Center opera house, followed by Martin Scorsese recounting DeNiro's antics and Meryl Streep speaking about how he inspired her work.

Yet the artist in Fox yearns to pull off one last heist: raiding the farms of Franklin Bean (Michael Gambon) and two other big landowners...
...question arises because Mr. Fox, who it must be noted wears slightly too tight, too short suits made of corduroy or tweed, just like his director, is feeling stymied. In a prologue, set two years before our story begins (that's 12 fox years), Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep), announces she's pregnant and forces him to give up fowl thievery for a safer profession. Now he's a newspaper columnist (which hardly qualifies as safer), but he longs to return to the hunt, specifically to Boggis, Bunce and Bean's farms, all of which are laid out in glorious, tempting...
