SECOND ‘NARNIA' FILM
Prince Caspian Tale Is More, More, More Than Its Predecessor
More is more in 'The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,' the follow-up to the 2005 fantasy hit 'The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.' It's simultaneously darker and funnier, more substantive and more engaging, more violent and more technically accomplished.
You can't really call it a sequel because it's an adaptation of the second book in C.S. Lewis' series, but seeing its predecessor is a must to understand what's going on — and it'll make you appreciate how much better this movie is.

FROM MY SEAT
‘What Happens in Vegas'
Though it adheres to a conventional plot, I still recommend 'What Happens in Vegas.'

'Speed Racer'
The movie "Speed Racer" runs for a gluteus-deadening 2 hours and 9 minutes.
Episodes of the animated 1960s TV series which inspired it ran for only 22 minutes. And that was too long.

BAD TASTE FOR GUYS, SWEETNESS FOR GALS
'What Happens ...'
The movie "What Happens in Vegas" follows the standard romcom design, giving us two funny, neurotic people who are in love with each other but don't know it. But by being a smidge smarter than the average date movie, it makes the first-time meeting, the battle of the sexes and the bumpy course of...



‘Narnia'
Ben Barnes, who plays Prince Caspian, read the C.S. Lewis books this movie series is based on. The actor also took horseback and swordfighting lessons to prepare for the role. 'I wanted to make sure my portrayal was honest, that we created a real story that people care about.'

‘Forbidden Kingdom'
Jackie Chan says, 'I remember the first day we (were) on the set. Everybody's so excited, ‘Wow! Two action stars (Chan and Jet Li) together.' Then when we're on the set, we're just, ‘Hi. Good morning.' We know (each other) for long time. (So it's) not so exciting.'

‘Street Kings'
Some of Keanu Reeves' 'Street Kings' colleagues gave the impression that he's a perfectionist on the set. He responds, 'Perfectionism. It's a weird thing because there's no perfect ideal. There's no perfect circle to draw. You know what I mean? There's no objective feedback for it.'

Drama, R, 125 m., 2007

An incomprehensible metaphysical muddle by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Tim Roth as an aged professor who is struck by lightning and starts growing younger, only to meet the double of his long-lost love (Alexandra Maria Lara), who is struck by lightning and starts to grow older. A confusion wandering in a maze, but it sure looks good.
Thriller, R, 100 m., 2008

'Untraceable' is a horrifying thriller, smart and merciless. A psychopath devises ways to slowly kill people online, in live streaming video. The more hits he gets, the further the process continues, until finally his captive is dead. On his trail: Diane Lane as the head of the Portland Cyber Crimes unit, Colin Hanks as her partner and Billy Burke as a Portland detective. Well made and acted; a sadistic nightmare.
Drama, PG-13, 127 m., 2007

An affirming and inspiring film, retelling the story of a remarkable team and their coach. Little Wiley College in Marshall, Texas, in the heart of the Jim Crow 1930s South, fielded a debate team coached by Melvin Tolson (Denzel Washington) that won the national championship. But there's much more to the story than just their victory; the film, directed by Washington, portrays the racist society against which they endured and prevailed.
Comedy, PG-13, 104 m., 2008

Curiously casual caper starring Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, Katie Holmes and Ted Danson. The women are service workers at a Federal Reserve Bank who find a way to smuggle a fortune out of the building. Their plan is simple, the complications are few, and they don't get excited much beyond some high-fives and hugs and giggles. La-di-da.
