  1. 'Repo Men' contest -- the nationwide chase is almost over

    The Hero Complex
    Usman Akeju packed his bag frantically. He only had half an hour before he needed to catch a flight to Los Angeles and vanish from everything – and everyone -- he knew in New York. He shoved what he could......

  2. Gold Derby nuggets: John Forsythe dies at 92 | Oscar shorts go long

    Gold Derby
    • Two-time Golden Globe winner John Forsythe died of pneumonia late Thursday at the age of 92. Beginning in 1982, Forsythe racked up six consecutive Globe bids for best actor in a drama series for "Dynasty," winning in 1983 and 1984. Long before that...

  3. '$9.99' is less than the sum of its parts

    Like most films that crisscross among a handful of city dwellers to mull contemporary ennui, "$9.99" is less than the sum of its parts. The connective tissue of its episodes and set pieces -- some of which pack a memorable punch -- is not a compelling story line but the painterly physicality of the movie's stop-motion animation.

  4. Lack of reviews won't kill 'Prom Night'

    "Leatherheads," last weekend's release starring George Clooney and Renee Zellweger, was the kind of quirky movie that needed help from critics despite its prominent cast. Instead, Universal Pictures' screwball-football comedy, a period piece aimed at adults, got lukewarm reviews and opened to a soft $12.7 million at the box office.

  5. Review: 'Street Kings'

    POLICE brutality goes down more easily when the cops look sharp and the past provides a measure of storytelling distance, as was the case in director Curtis Hanson's adaptation of the James Ellroy crime novel "L.A. Confidential." Take away the early 1950s lapels and the Brilliantine hair, however, and an audience has a very different relationship to the viciousness on screen.

  6. Casting cull for the next big hunk

    Call it the hunt for the new male movie star — a youngster to step into the shoes of Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt or even Leonardo DiCaprio, who's already hit the ripe old age of 32. In the next year, Hollywood is betting literally a billion dollars on a raft of relative unknowns in the hopes of creating a star to appeal to the Millennial Generation, those born between 1978 and 2000, for whom Tom Cruise could be their father.

  7. A look at L.A.'s independent bookstore scene

    When my first book was published, in 1990 by Milkweed Editions, I didn't actually feel like a writer until I read at Dutton's Bookstore in Brentwood. Opening the box of books, holding a copy up for my baby daughter to see while my then husband made fun of my author photo, I knew the whole time I wanted to go to Dutton's.

  11. 'The Great Debaters'

    Opponents found it easy to underestimate the 1930s debate team of Wiley College, a small, all-black institution in a remote corner of Texas, but they did so at their peril. The same will likely hold true for those who underestimate the new film on the Wiley phenomenon, "The Great Debaters."

  12. Hollywood takes notice as Congo's unrest grinds on

    Much of the world seems to have written Africa's problems off as insolvable, and nowadays, if you ask a lot of Americans to name an ongoing tragedy, they'd probably point first to the U.S. economy.
