Children can do terrible things. They can bully and maim, even murder. In our lifetime, we've seen young people arm themselves and shoot down classmates and teachers. We shake our heads in shock and wonder. How can such things happen? So we look for reasons - sane, rational explanations for violent behavior and ways to curb it. We gather the usual suspects. Sometimes it's parents. Sometimes it's the culture. California blames violent video games. The state with the motto "Eureka," translated from the Greek to mean "I have found it" (with credit to Archimedes) thought it had a solution in keeping violent video games away from minors. Those games were not re-enactments of Bonnie and Clyde but of terrible crimes such as the assassination of President Kennedy, the massacres at Virginia Tech...
Cuando Melonie leyó el guión de la cinta -que narra la decisión de un profesor de arte dramático (el británico Steve Coogan, visto recientemente en Tropic Thunder) de representar una secuela del clásico de William Shakespeare, Hamlet, con la intervención de personajes reales como Hillary Clinton y... Jesucristo-, lo que le convenció para aceptar el papel de la estudiante Ivonne fue "la interesante aproximación al [género] de la comedia: absurda y ofensiva, que iba a molestar a la gente con sus [diálogos] fuera de lo común. Pero también sabía que Steve [Coogan] iba a ser su protagonista, y él es un cómico fantástico". ¡No! Al contrario: es la parte más excitante", responde sin dudarlo. "Hablar de mi trabajo con los compañeros de reparto, el director... es algo que más bien estoy impacie...

'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa'. La primera parte, que se tituló lógicamente 'Madagascar', recaudó muchísimos millones alrededor del mundo (más de 500), lo que demostró que a la mayoría de público tanto le da la calidad: si una película contiene animales parlanchines es razón suficiente para llevar a los niños a que se distraigan unos minutos. Así que cualquier comparación entre 'Madagascar' y la secuela que mañana se estrena con obras maestras como 'Ratatouille' o 'Wall-E', resulta innecesaria. Estas dos últimas son puro cine. 'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa' es sólo una excusa para acumular chistes (la mayoría de ellos no harán reir a nadie que supere los 6 años), canciones populares y personajes que entran y salen sin demasiado interés (como el de la vieja vengativa, que es una copia del ...

OK, August was sort of a wasteland if you were looking for decent movies. But things are going to start getting good again. Or at least things look more promising once we get out of the cinematic "dog days." The 2008 fall movie season boasts a new James Bond film, "Quantum of Solace," as well as the new Coen brothers movie "Burn After Reading" (which re-teams the "Oceans" movies' George Clooney and Brad Pitt).

Growing up in the South in the 1960s, I witnessed a lot of change. While my family was mostly isolated in our suburban existence from the turbulence of the time, Southern society during that period was a crucible from which no one could escape. One of my first memories is of going with my father to see a sit-in at the local drugstore. By the end of the decade, I'd watched as smoke rose from fires set in response to Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination, and been caught up in a race riot at my high school. So I witnessed a change in Southern society that went from simply accepting the way things were, to having our eyes pried open to racial inequities and injustices. Looking back, I'm surprised by how difficult and painful that transformation has been, and by how far we - as a nation - ...

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) -- The same writers strike that transformed the Golden Globes into a news conference might bring smiles to the faces of agents and filmmakers gathered in this snow-covered ski town. They're hoping that studios will spend more freely than usual at the Sundance Film Festival, buying up independent movies to fill release schedules that have begun to thin as the Writers Guild of America work stoppage continues.
