Kasdan isn't the person you would expect to be doing this. He's the guy who makes smart, touching, talky movies--The Big Chill, The Accidental Tourist, Body Heat--not Dreamcatcher, the horror movie based on the 2001 Stephen King novel. "I read the book, and I thought, It's like a Kasdan story," the director says. "Except in my story they would go out in the woods and talk, and nothing would happen." But Kasdan was, after all, the writer of The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark before directing many of what he calls...
...locale already has some touristy infrastructure in place: a beautiful beachfront, the nearby Marble Mountains, the tony Furama Resort and a Cham historic museum.

Most important, Dion has sold 150 million albums worldwide, making her the biggest female singer of all time and a true marquee draw. Still, even Dion realizes that her voice alone isn't worth a $200 ticket. "That's why this show...

The leap, however, is most evident in City of God, whose driving samba-and-funk artistry provides a rare glimpse of the Dantean squalor bearing down on Brazil's tourist beaches. Hailed as one of the best Latin American films of the past half-century, it was snubbed by Oscar, many critics complain, because of its violence.
