By David Borges Register Staff HARTFORD -- Maybe it was in the summer of 1998, while NBA players were locked out, "He Got Game" was in movie theaters, and Ray Allen was showing up to play on a regular basis.
NEW YORK - After a spate of January closings, Broadway can't wait to get to March and April when a surprisingly large parade of star- driven plays will open. Consider some of names being employed to entice audiences into theaters: Jane Fonda. Jeremy Irons. Joan Allen. James Gandolfini. Geoffrey Rush. Susan Sarandon. Angela Lansbury. Rupert Everett. Nathan Lane. Bill Irwin. Matthew Broderick. David Hyde Pierce. And more.
Woody Allen's comedy "Whatever Works" may be new in theaters, but the idea isn't. He started working on the screenplay more than 30 years ago. Allen talks about making the movie -- and "Curb Your Enthusiasm's" Larry David talks about starring in it -- on 5E.
Before movies, iPods, CDs, VCRs, TVs and even radio, entertainment thrived in the United States. A never-ending parade of actors, singers, dancers, jugglers, animal acts and comedians strutted through cities and towns across the county as vaudeville acts. Fannie Brice, Sara Bernhardt, George Burns, Gracie Allen and others filled theaters and thrilled audiences. Iowa's gift to the country was the uniqueness of the Cherry Sisters. The world of entertainment has never recovered.
YES -- * 1/2 -- Joan Allen, Simon Abkarian, Sam Neill; rated R (profanity, sex); see Page W2 for theaters. Yes" is a movie I watched with delighted derision, if such a response is possible. I enjoyed my dislike of it.
A comedy remake of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" arrives in theaters today (and probably hits video stores in April). This version likely won't repeat a local reference from the 1967 original, which I finally saw this week, 38 years late.

THE SANTA CLAUSE 3: THE ESCAPE CLAUSE -- * 1/2 -- Tim Allen, Martin Short; rated G (nothing offensive); Carmike 12 and Ritz 15 Theaters; Century Theatres 16 (Sandy); Century Theatres 16 (South Salt Lake); Megaplex 12 at the Gateway; Megaplex 17 at Jordan Commons; Megaplex 20 at the District; Red Carpet 5-Star and Gateway 8 Cinemas; Westates Holladay Center Cinemas 6. Down the chimney St. Nick comes with a thud in "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause," the needless third -- and hopefully last -- time Tim Allen will suit up as the jolly old elf.

ZOOM" -- * 1/2 -- Tim Allen, Courteney Cox, Spencer Breslin; rated PG (vulgarity, profanity, violence); Carmike 12 and Ritz 15 Theaters; Century Theatres 16 (Sandy); Century Theatres 16 (South Salt Lake); Cinemark 24 at Jordan Landing; Megaplex 12 at The Gateway; Megaplex 17 at Jordan Commons; Megaplex 20 at the District; Redwood Drive-in; Westates Holladay Centre Cinemas 6. Tim Allen stars in "Zoom," a family-friendly comedy about a superhero who's been drained of all his powers.
HOLLYWOOD - Australian actor Hugh Jackman is a versatile and in- demand leading man these days. He burst to fame as Wolverine in the popular "X-Men" franchise, and in 2003 he earned raves for his Broadway musical turn as Peter Allen in "The Boy From Oz." This season, he'll have four projects in theaters: the magic thriller "The Prestige," the time-travel fantasy "The Fountain" and two animated films. In "Flushed Away," he plays a mouse, and in "Happy Feet," a penguin. Question: What is the difference between playing a mouse and a penguin?
