  1. 'Beautiful Creatures': Supernatural love in a small town, again ★★

    When classy, pedigreed British actors go hog-wild under the flowering dogwood trees of a Southern Gothic setting, often the results are good. Just as often they're so bad they're good. And sometimes, as is the case with Jeremy Irons and Emma Thompson in "Beautiful Creatures," they're simply doing the best they can under the circumstances.

  2. 'Beautiful Creatures' review: Full of love, not that pretty

    <strong>**1/2 (out of four)</strong>
    **1/2 (out of four) Among many reasons the “Twilight” movie franchise didn’t work, Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Bella (Kristen Stewart) make lousy characters, separately and together. Be it the script, the performances, whatever: The...

  3. Michael Douglas impresses at Cannes with HBO Liberace pic 'Behind the Candelabra'

    Michael Douglas&rsquo;s <span class="italic" style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;">faaaaabulous</span> portrayal of Liberace won&rsquo;t be eligible for an Oscar, since the droll Steven Soderbergh-directed biopic &ldquo;Behind the Candelabra&rdquo; debuts Sunday on HBO before playing theatrically (and talk about theatrically!) overseas.

  4. To the screen, and back again

    I'm 51 and Bilbo-free. Somehow "The Hobbit" has eluded me my entire reading life. What was I reading in junior high when I first noticed everyone else was reading it? "Big A: The Story of Lew Alcindor," maybe. Or William K. Everson's book on Laurel &amp; Hardy. I had no special resistance to hobbits or to subterranean fantasy or to J.R.R. Tolkien. But we read what we read, and now here "The Hobbit" sits on my desk, next in line for takeoff. A big chunk of my non-screen work existence is spent reading material related, somehow, to films I'm covering. It's one of the great perks of the job. You read a lot, and then you put it away, so that the screen adaptations have a fighting chance to establish their own ground rules.

  12. HBO's Liberace movie burns with brilliant acting

    HBO's Liberace movie is a lot like Liberace himself: audacious, glitzy, a campy delight. "Behind the Candelabra," premiering at 9 p.m. Sunday on HBO, is an event, the TV movie of the season.
    Staff writer
    Could the best movie of the summer be on television? Here's an early preview of what I've written for Sunday's paper about "Behind the Candelabra." You've been hearing about the film, and it's one movie that deserves the buzz. HBO's Liberace movie...
