'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' (Walt Disney Pictures) The Sorcerer's Apprentice" tells a fun story, features likable characters and makes the best of a bevy of superb special effects. But director Jon Turteltaub's film is formulaic and predictable. This one finds an accomplished sorcerer named Balthazer (Nicolas Cage) looking for a protege to his master Merlin. When he comes across the reluctant Dave (Jay Baruchel), all signs point to him being the chosen one. Dave is simply a nerdy college student, though, and it will take a lot of work for Balthazer to train him in the ways of magic. Problem is, they don't have much time. Balthazer's nemesis, Maxim (Alfred Molina), is back to release the dark forces of Morgana (Alice Krige), an ultra-powerful sorcerer who wants to raise the d...
No one likes to be fired but tell that to the latest lineup of famous faces awaiting Donald Trump's judgment. Actors, singers and athletes again vie for the real estate tycoon's (and potential presidential candidate's) approval in a new round of "The Celebrity Apprentice," the 11th edition of Trump's NBC competition franchise also encompassing the regular "Apprentice.

Country singer John Rich went all the way on "The Celebrity Apprentice," claiming victory and $250,000 for charity. He was up against actress Marlee Matlin on Sunday's finale of the NBC reality show.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Country stars have done well on "Celebrity Apprentice": Trace Adkins was runner-up during the show's first season in 2008, while Clint Black took fifth place the following year. Still, none has won the title - but John Rich of the duo Big & Rich might change that this season. He's one of the last four contestants standing, and has won two tasks that he led as project manager.
Let's face it, Trump has an exaggeration problem. He calls it "truthful hyperbole." That means he can say anything he likes to his show's twenty-odd million viewers, such as "I'm the biggest real estate developer in New York," when it's clear that by most yardsticks, he isn't. Or that his Trump Taj Mahal casino is "The No. 1 hotel" in Atlantic City, when in reality, the casino and the rest of Trump's gambling empire is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. The show's absolutely most grievous crime has been... are you ready? Its choice of a theme song. "For The Love Of Money," by the O'Jays, originally released in 1973, is a searing indictment of the culture of greed.

It takes into account the original fairy tale/poem by Goethe, the music it inspired by Paul Dukas and the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" section of Walt Disney's "Fantasia" (1940) with Mickey Mouse as the accident-prone wizard-in-training. What the movie adds is a modern, sometimes cliched, edge, electrically charged special effects and a charming performance by Jay Baruchel as a "physics nerd" and reluctant wizard.
