'The Spirit' Movie Review

Miller's distinction as six of the all-time best comic book writers is strong to withstand his role in making six of the worst comic book movies ever. After all, Sidney Poitier directed Bill Cosby in "Ghost Dad," and even that cinematic atrocity couldn't undo his work in "Lilies of the Field."

Action adventure. Starring Gabriel Macht, Eva Mendes, Samuel L. Jackson and Scarlett Johansson. Directed by Frank Miller. (PG-13. 103 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)

Yes, worse than "Ghost Rider." and yet her performance doesn't even rank in the top 150 problems with this film, which features a indestructible crime fighter named the Spirit and his confusing and boring adventures.

But because writer-director Miller will walk away from "The Spirit," based on Will Eisner's groundbreaking comic strip, with his reputation more or less intact doesn't mean that you will. There will be relationships that end because of this film, which ties with "Wild Wild West" as the worst first-date movie of all time. Even in these lean economic times, I would guess that somewhere between 25 and 35 percent of each audience will walk out before the movie is over. Throwing your $10.25 down a storm drain is a better idea; at least that way you won't feel the added self-loathing of wasting over an hour and a half of your life watching Eva Mendes in the worst acting job of her career.

Will Smith in 'Seven Pounds'

Will Smith is interested by the emotive pain now, in the side in black of the American life, in the people who are sad or sick or just unhappy dish, and him 's found a associate in the Italian director Gabriele Muccino. The team collaborated on continuation of, of Happyness film 2006 which told with the true gutter-with-richness the history of a man shining and endowed who fell always almost by the company the 'cracks from S. Their new, of film seven books, is a successor spiritual , of continuation but darker and more oblique.

In fact, the film is thus the round not and enigmatic which it is necessary for half of the operating time to appear right outside general nature of what 's active on. Seven books makes a mystery of its main character and of what him 's prosecuting, and for a very simple reason: If the film were to announce its subject and history in the usual frank way, this would seem so ridiculous, forced and the unpleasant limit that nobody would like to observe them. It could even seem funny.

Thus Muccino 'task of S is clear, if difficult - to produce of enough magic and to function to the top Juste of good mood in order to throw a fate on viewers. In this way, when the film of the 'intentions and significance of S are finally made clearly, nothing will seem unmatched or strange. All will seem reasonable. For the majority, Muccino achieves this precise balance for of which Grant Neoporte 'scenario of S.A. need.

Entering, very that we know Ben (Smith) is that something terrible occurred in its past, and that it feels responsible for him. That 's all. Differently than we gather gradually, by a broken account which scrambles the order of time. We learn that it is an agent of IRS. Later, we see that it makes audits of field, but audits of a kind very particular and feeling reluctant. It seems to specialize by tracking people for back taxes when they 're in the hospital, sometimes with serious diseases.

There 'anger of S in this type. In a scene, he speaks on the telephone with a technician about company about food 'about S (Woody Harrelson), and when he discovers the man is blind, he goes ballistic and begins with taunting it, transforming remarks of fading and degrading and the cries into telephone. Obviously, it is not Will Smith usual, and this difference is half of call seven books, to see sides of an exposure familiar of presence of screen the new ones of.

Smith made a remark of drawing these last years. Even in the main role of Hancock, which was majority in the manners an action film running, Smith had to establish a character different from its Persson turbulent usual of action, connecting on reservations of the pain and disillusion. But it enters much further seven books. Its breeziness becomes a not very deep act, and its smile becomes mysterious direct, a tended mask which hiding place the pain, draws aside the hostility and expresses the aggression at the same time all. He 'to smile of SA with the dead eyes.

In all, seven books has a distinct quality. All the thoughtful points, subjective cinematography and even the deadened aspect of the described executions contribute to a direction to be interior imprisoned by dream of alarm clock, or nightmare. Ben carries out a hollow existence, a death in the life, and the people with whom it comes into contact are forgotten, which was dropped out of the world.

Pleasure of seven book rest entirely in how one reacts to the lovesong which develops between the agent of austere IRS and Emily (Rosario Dawson), a suffering graphic artist of the congenital cardiac arrest. Some will cry stinking, tell him 's too much, that the film turns larmoyant. But for those which are on the film the 'wavelength of S, it is love at the edge of the universe. It is the kind of thing which inspires by the people to write operas.

Dawson, with its strident but significant beauty, is worthy of the treatment of opera. Seven exposures again that it has it in it to be a powerplant, even while it presents a softness and a vulnerability it hasn 't shown front. Dawson, which played Mimi in rent and Edouard Norton 'friendly of S as Spike Lee 's 25th, of hour is ready to take its place as an important actor of screen.

In the final analysis, about thing most attractive seven books is the element which it divides with Smith 'films merrier of S: He affirms the life as something enormous and important, nonsmall, not without significance, but monumental and worthy of great reports/ratios.

'Nothing like the Holidays' Movie Review

When a dispersed family meets for the dinner of Christmas in a film of holidays, you can be sure that more than turkey will be been useful. To rest with the table becomes a forum to be acted outside of the competitions of child of same parents, parental disappointments and general dissatisfactions with regard to the reports/ratios, work and the life.

Nothing as the holidays is latest of these naked-all saga family. But with the assistance of a cast iron animated and a torsion on the formula, it seems fresh and attracting - as a Christmas present you didn 't know that you wanted but are magic to receive.

Torsion is that the family of Rodriguez is Porto Rican and lives in a Porto Rican vicinity of Chicago. Vacances is spread with a beat of Salsa and rates/rhythms of reggae.

The best is a habit among carolers of Christmas: Only after their neighbors serenade them and are invited inside for rum and them except D '� uvre is Rodriguezes allowed to join caroling. Vacances shows the clan of Rodriguez the 'similarity of S to other families while celebrating its differences.

Heat sometimes and affectionately lensed, holidays with the obvious affection for the cap of park of Humboldt and its vibrating Hispanic heritage are merry scenes of cooking, song, dance and neighbors ravelling by the streets. But the film needs a history much fresher and stronger, worthy of its gifted actors. Instead of that, it creates phantoms of films of Christmas beyond that, namely the stone of family, which also exclaimed one tightened woman of business-and disease-in a fam of the 'celebrations of S.

Brad Pitt and Angelina's Late Night Date

Brad Pitt was amidst by admirable women at the LA premiere of David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," at the Mann Village Theatre in Westwood.

Actorscat_leste_56335781_600 Pitt and Angelina Jolie resembled archetypal old time cine stars. Looking a far cry from their active mommy/daddy roles, Angie was affected in a strapless atramentous Versace gown, Ralph Lauren Vintage Collection bead earrings, her hair slicked back. Pitt wore a Tom Ford three-piece cape clothing and a moustache.

But he aswell airish for photos with his onscreen adulation interest, Cate Blanchett, reportedly clad in a short, sparkly Alexander McQueen apron that looked cautiously like a Nicolas Ghesquiere Balenciaga design, but what do I know.

Fresh from three weeks of solid box appointment achievement for "Twilight," Summit Entertainment has clearly broke Chris Weitz to absolute a "New Moon" sequel.

Summit fabricated the advertisement Saturday morning. It was clumsy to ability an acceding for "Twilight" administrator Catherine Hardwicke to acknowledgment for the sequel.

"Twilight" has generated calm grosses of added than $144 actor and addition $33 actor overseas. The vampire thriller's a banal authorization for Summit with the four books in Stephenie Meyer's series, already affairs over 17 actor copies worldwide.

Queen Bettie Page Dies

Bettie Page, one of America's a lot of photographed pin-up girls during the 1950s, died in Los Angeles on Thursday from pneumonia, her abettor said. She was 85.

Page was a all-over afterimage during the 1950s, propelled to distinction if she airish for Playboy as Miss January 1955. Soon her angel was gracing arena cards, almanac albums and bedchamber posters beyond the country.

She chock-full clay in 1957, aloof from the accessible spotlight and angry to religion. She enjoyed a renaissance of sorts in the 1980s, as a new bearing of admirers became bedeviled with her legacy.

Her agent, Mark Roesler, said Page was accepted to a Los Angeles-area hospital four weeks ago. She never regained alertness afterwards adversity a affection advance beforehand this month.

In the 1950s Ms. Page, who died on Thursday, was Queen of the Pinups, actualization in bags of photographs and abundant abbreviate films in states of celebrating undress. Whether absolutely bald or decked out in garters, stockings and heels, a brawl gag tucked in her mouth, she consistently appeared to be accepting a cool time.

With her auspicious smile, she didn’t just attending as if she enjoyed getting photographed; she looked as if she enjoyed your searching at her too. That smile and the affluence of her poses — the way she seemed adequate even if trussed up in braiding so intricately askance that it would accept fabricated an Eagle Scout blow or yield up new habits — were invitations to a affair that I doubtable a lot of of her admirers were too fainthearted to attend.

Amy Adams in 'Doubt'

The smartly dressed Adams, cutting a atramentous blazer cone-shaped at the waist, affable and businesslike, brings to apperception the Elvis Costello band "She's got eyes like saucers/ Oh you anticipate she's a dish." In being she absolutely does attending like your top academy crush, conceivably not yet accepting developed into her cachet as one of Hollywood's a lot of in-demand actresses back her Oscar choice for "Junebug" and the huge success of "Enchanted." She sits in an armchair by the window of a Four Seasons apartment with the able aspect of a bedfellow on "Inside the Actor's Studio," but her eyes generally seek the Los Angeles skyline for the appropriate words.

"Doubt" is a blur with abounding accomplished elements, but its director, John Patrick Shanley, doesn't assume to assurance them. Which is rather odd, because it was Shanley who wrote both the Software and the play on which it's based.

That play, arresting abundant to win four Tonys and the Pulitzer Prize and allure blur stars such as Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams, is set in the cardinal year of 1964 in St. Nicholas, a Catholic abbey and academy in the Bronx.

It data a battle amid the church's Father Flynn (Hoffman) and the school's principal, Sister Aloysius (Streep), about the administration of the Catholic acceptance in accepted and the fate of one 12-year-old chantry boy in particular.

Tara Reid says yes to Rehab

Actress Tara Reid has entered a rehabilitation center.While a rep for the 33-year-old would not acknowledge what Tara is getting advised for, they did affirm that she is gluttonous advice in rehab. "Tara Reid has arrested herself into Promises Treatment Center. We acknowledge your account to her and her family's aloofness at this time," Jack Ketsovan told People magazine.

The afflicted extra has approved to escape her accomplished characterization as a affair girl. A Reid pal tells the magazine, "Her accompany and ancestors are admiring of her decision. She arrested in herself, it was her decision."

Reid arrested herself in on Tuesday, December 9, 2008. Her rep, however, beneath to acknowledge Reid's acumen for this acutely brusque decision.

Reid's, 33, acting abilities had consistently been overshadowed by her 'party girl' reputation, and absolutely set the bar for adolescent starlets like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

In an account in October, Reid aswell told People she was a "social drinker" who enjoyed an casual bottle of wine with friends.

Asked if she was anytime tempted to abatement aback into old habits, the extra said: "No. I've done it. Trust me. I've done abundant for a lifetime of everything. I've had a abundant time. I partied. I had fun. I ate and drank whatever. I anachronous a actor guys, but I'm so blessed with area I'm at appropriate now. I don't charge to do annihilation anymore."

Keanu Reeves in 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'

I like Keanu Reeves myself — he has a different brilliant presence. But the nobody-home awning persona his detractors bickering about is not to be denied in "The Day the Earth Stood Still," a angrily characterless accommodate of the 1951 sci-fi saucer-man movie. Here, Reeves never cracks a smile, hikes an countenance or, for all we can tell, draws breath. There may be puddles of agitated beer added expressive.

Not that his role allows for a lot of breadth in this regard. Reeves plays Klaatu, an interstellar agent from about or added who's appear to Earth to ... well, added about that in a moment. Klaatu touches down in New York's Central Park, not in a accepted spaceship like the one in the aboriginal movie, but in a big agleam argent brawl that looks like annihilation so abundant as a behemothic Christmas-tree ornament.

He's brought forth a aerial apprentice babysitter alleged Gort, who's alone hardly beneath affable than his deadpan master. They're accustomed by the acceptable accidental of itchy-fingered soldiers and goggling scientists, a part of them astrobiologist Helen Benson (Jennifer Connelly, who knows why?). As Helen approaches the accessory with a action of acceptable for Klaatu, one of the soldiers by itself shoots him, and absolute bound the adverse company is active abroad to a aggressive lab for analysis and interrogation. As if any such button animal accession could accommodate him (see trailer).

What did poor Wise do, incidentally, to deserve such treatment? His air-conditioned abhorrence masterpiece “The Haunting” was already put through the meat-grinder with an effects-heavy 1999 remake, and his abstruseness “The Andromeda Strain” was revisited with ill after-effects in a SciFi Channel re-do beforehand this year. What next — a hip-hop reinterpretation of “The Sound of Music”? (Granted, Queen Latifah could absolutely breach up “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” but still…)

The new “Day” can’t be agitated to cover the absorbing chat of the original, allotment instead to coffin the admirers with appropriate furnishings that are visually absorbing but no acting for an absolute script. And what words do abide are so alluringly abominable that they accommodate some of the season’s better laughs.

Jennifer Aniston at premier of 'Marley & Me'

Looking beauteous and dressed for the occasion, annoying awning babe Jennifer Aniston formed the red carpeting with costar Owen Wilson at Thursday's Los Angeles premiere of their ball Marley and Me, at the Mann Village Theater in Westwood.

Summing up the film's accepted address – Marley is a account about a dog – Aniston, 39, alleged it "a accurate story, about a ancestors and their life."

With about anybody aswell absorbed in the account abaft Aniston's new abrupt GQ cover, the brilliant was asked what array of bulletin she was aggravating to forward by cutting annihilation added than a necktie for the magazine.

Owen had heard acceptable things about Jen from their alternate friends. "You're absolute popular," a easygoing Owen tells his "Marley and Me" costar.

They did accompany their own dogs on the set. But not ON the absolute sets afterone of Jen's dogs, Norman, well, christened the affected lawn.

Australian amateur Hugh Jackman will host the Oscars commemoration in February, a backer for the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences said on Friday.

Jackman, 40, brilliant of the adventurous ballsy "Australia," will be hosting the cine industry's accomplished awards for the aboriginal time, Academy backer Leslie Unger said.

Jackman has hosted theater's Tony awards in New York three times and endure ages was called 2008's "sexiest man alive" by People magazine.

Although he may be an Oscar-hosting virgin, Jackman isn't blooming if it comes to hosting awards shows. He hosted the Tony Awards in 2004 and 2005, earning Emmy nominations both times and acceptable for the 2004 show.

Jackman, 40, has never been nominated for an Oscar, and anticipation by the actuality that "Australia" was boilerplate on the account of Golden Globe nominations appear this week, this ability not be his year either. He was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2002 for his role in "Kate & Leopold" and garnered MTV Cine Award nominations in 2001 and 2004 for his role as Wolverine in "X-Men" and "X2."

Jackman has never been an Oscar nominee, but was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in 2001's adventurous blur "Kate & Leopold." His added cine credits cover 2006's "The Prestige" and 2004's "Van Helsing." Jackman aswell served as a accomplished presenter on the Oscar show.

The 40-year-old amateur and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, accept their own Oscar — their 8-year-old son Oscar Maximillian. The brace aswell accept a 3-year-old babe Ava.

With new producers, a new set administrator and even a new music director, the Academy has been hinting at an all-new attending and feel for this year's Oscars advertisement on Feb. 22.

Jackman's alternative is a abandonment from the Academy's accepted of big-name comedians. Jon Stewart hosted the commemoration in 2008 and 2006; Ellen DeGeneres was the 2007 host. Chris Rock, Steve Martin, Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg accept aswell hosted the appearance in contempo years.
