Speed
Racer: Born to race cars, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is

maniacal owner (Roger Allam) but uncovers a terrible secret—some of the biggest
races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the
top drivers to boost profits...more

in Sin City not only didn't "stay" there but also followed you all the
way back home and threatened to turn your life upside down? That's the
setup that explodes into a series of outrageous consequences for two
sexy, if wildly mismatched, strangers in the comedy "What Happens in
Vegas."...more

Review:
Inspired by real events, the fascinating The Great
Debaters reveals one of the seeds of the Civil Rights Movement in its story
of Melvin B. Tolson (Denzel Washington in a captivating performance) and his
champion 1935 debate club from the all-African-American Wiley College in Texas.
Tolson, a Wiley professor, labor organizer, modernist poet, and much else, runs
a rigorous debate program at the school, selecting four students as his team in
’35, among them the future founder of the Congress of Racial Equality, James
Farmer Jr. (Denzel Whitaker). Washington, who directed The Great Debaters
from a script by Robert Eisele (The Dale Earnhardt Story), anchors the
story with the team’s measurable progress, but the film is also about the state
of race relations in America at the height of the Great Depression...more

Debaters," "Original Score With James Newton Howard," "Making of The

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) When
last we saw Indy, he was riding off into the sunset in 1989's The
Last Crusade, set in 1938 near the start of World War II. The new
movie, due this spring, is set at the height of the Cold War in 1957, so
the character has aged in real time — 19 years.
"He's teaching and having kind of a quiet life," the producer says. Once
the archaeologist is thrust back into danger, the signature Indiana
Jones red line tracing across the map will take him to New Mexico,
Connecticut, Mexico City and the jungles of Peru...more

Where are all the good movies?
The sound of soda being sipped, the smell of fresh popcorn in the
air, the scream or laugh the whole room has burst into, the actor saying the
line he’ll be remembered for his entire career and a while after it – simply
put, the movies. Though we’ve always been fascinated by going to our local
multiplex or movie theater, are we getting the same chills and thrills, twists
and turns as our parents were, not 20 years ago?...more
