...vouches for their teen cred, recalling how much he dug them on a recent re-reading.“I was a little bit cool, I was a teenager,” he says. “The issues really spoke to me, even more so.”Tilda Swinton, meanwhile, admits readily that she “never read the books.” Appropriately enough, the actress who personifies evil in the film strikes a rare discordant note in the on-message morning.“She’s not a character in that she?...
...book is fairly simple. The four Pevensie siblings—Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter—accidentally escape World War II England by entering a magical wardrobe into Narnia, a land in which it is perpetually winter because of the curse of the evil queen, the White Witch (Tilda Swinton). The children, under the guidance of a messianic lion, Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson), must fulfill an ancient prophecy: Defeat the Witch and free Narnia. Disney tries so hard to add peril to an otherwise tame children’s story—Lewis’s strengths were...

Penny’s venomous feelings for Don are nearly palpable, but in spite of her hard exterior, she seems fragile in a way that leaves you wondering exactly...
...make more sense to declare an ensemble award (it's happened before) for supporting actresses: to the Broken Flowers brigade of Lange, Sharon Stone, Frances Conroy, Tilda Swinton, Alexis Dziena, Chloe Sevigny and Pell James; or to the Sin City sorority that includes Jessica Alba, Carlo Gugino, Rosario Dawson, Brittany Murphy and Jaime King. Our choice is the Three Burials tandem of Melissa Leo and January Jones: one strong and maternally sexy, the other brutalized but unbowed, each so arresting, the source of so much of the film's wayward life, that The Three Burials inevitably sags when they disappear...
