The long awaited sequel to Al Gore's first Learning Annex presentation.
A documentary for the Don't-Blame-Me-I-Voted-for-Gore crowd. It has a nominal director, Davis Guggenheim, but it's Al Gore's show, a self-described "slide show," or illustrated lecture, and not really a movie, to do with the causes and effects of global warming. This is laid out explicitly as less a political issue …
A post-Vietnam warm-over, never brought to a level much warmer than luke. The now teenage daughter of a wartime casualty wants to find out what all the shooting was for. Her unemployed uncle, and very permissive guardian, would seem to have some of the answers -- he and his fellow …
Funny enough satire about that tragic juncture in American history where the glitz of “big room” Vegas illusionists was eclipsed by common street magicians. There's a moment where the title character, played by Steve Carell, encounters his childhood idol and inspiration, Rance Holloway (Alan Arkin), in a nursing home. Carrell …
All right. Agreed. Ang Lee’s heavily psychological Hulk was no world-beater. But did that mean, following in the footsteps of alternative versions of the Batman and Superman series, we wanted a new incarnation of this steroidal superhero, the unjolly green giant, a mere five years later?

This IMAX presentation promises to deconstruct the world of major predators as never before.

The tweaking of superheroes has long since progressed beyond a mere trend into a full-blown state of cultural decadence, but there's no particular reason to hold it against this little tag-along. The …
Writer-director Brad Bird picks up right where he left off 14 years ago in terms of both narrative and theme. Narrative: the arrival of The Underminer to ruin the peace and happiness of the Parrs, a family of superheroes that has finally gained those things after years of unhealthy repression. …

Sarah Bernhardt's early career -- her unequivocal debacles and equally unequivocal triumphs -- is re-created by an all-British cast whose classy limey accents set the high-culture tone of the project. Everything about this loosey-goosey biography reminds you of moviemaking circa 1936, except that instead of Katharine Hepburn, you get Glenda …
