Paul" is just like one of the flying saucers that dropped the titular little alien off in Area 51 in 1947 -- it takes an awfully long time to lift off. If you're anything like me, in fact, you'll spend a full 40 minutes cursing the fate that somehow plunked you into a theater seat for such a lurching, inept spoof of all the sci-fi extraterrestrial fantasies that seem to beset the American megaplex (last week, remember, slimy 15-foot aliens invaded Los Angeles and CGI-cartoon Martians decided to kidnap Earth's moms).

Fantasia herself plays the title role, and your first thought is: Who better? But that squeaky, scratchy voice, so distinctive on "American Idol," is merely weird when applied to scripted dialogue. Fantasia mumbles her way through the movie, ill-equipped to convey the agonies and ecstasies of her own life. It's the worst you can say of an actress: unconvincing in the role of herself. Fox begins the 2006-07 season with a bang. Actually, many bangs - cars crashing, guns firing, doors kicked in. "Vanished" is a gripping crime drama about an FBI agent searching for a missing person. Graham Kelton (Gale Harold) is an agent with a past namely, a botched rescue that resulted in a child's death. Now, with his reputation tarnished, he's investigating the disappearance of a senator's wife (Joanne...

Review by Rick Romancito This is not a remake of that 1960s campy caveman classic, "One Million Years, BC," the one starring Raquel Welch in a fur bikini being chased around by giant iguanas in makeup. Trust me, if it had as much oomph as Raquel put into that little fur number, this might have been somewhat tolerable. But no. Director Roland Emmerich, who seems to specialize in huge, overblown empty-headed epics like "Godzilla," "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Stargate," to which this bears some similarities I'll mention later, doesn't have the sense to know that audiences might possibly in unison smack their foreheads in disbelief at something so incredibly dumb unfolding before their eyes, no matter how expensively it was produced. I suppose the idea Emmerich banked upon was that movie-...
IMTCLfNC: , Valley of Yagahls. Early today, a blue-eyed female child was found by hunters in the nearby mountains, the only apparent survivor of an attack. When told of the incident, Yagahl leader Old Mother rattled some prophecy bones and pronounced: "She can tell us of the four-legged demons that will bring an end to our world." Stay with this movie for further updates ... but don't expect it to make much sense or be very entertaining. In the prehistoric adventure "legend" (i.e., totally made-up crap) , blueeyed beauty Evolet (Camilla Belle) grows up and acquires a suitor named D'leh ([Steven Strait]), a poetic young hunter. No sooner has the annual woolly mammoth hunt ended than the aforementioned demons ride in - slave raiders on horseback, which actually makes...

Though they cannot supplant nor replace other methodologies, films can possibly raise new questions, provide different perspectives, and reveal unique ways of knowing about seminal subject, at least by comparison to the standard fare of academic analysis. Each one, "ethics" and "leadership," draw upon substantially different intellectual literatures, scholarly methodologies, traditional assumptions, and disciplinary perspectives. Film, often far better than social science literature, may provide a more "holistic account" of not only individual lives, but entire situations where ethical leadership is practiced. Finally, ethical leadership includes the use of symbols. Symbols abound throughout, thus giving the story meaning, depth, and power beyond simply "a typical feel-good" movie. List...

Summer movie season is here again, as consistent, predictable and irresistible as the rise in temperature. It's the time when the big movie studios try to make as much money from overheated vacationers as possible, in preparation for leaner seasons ahead. Everything is bigger -- budgets, stars, explosions -- in the summer. Just don't look for many Oscar contenders or subtle, introspective dramas. But if you're ready for blockbusters packed with enough explosions to blow giant plot holes in not only themselves, but nearby romantic comedies, you won't be disappointed.

From their inspired horror spoof "Shaun of the Dead," to their enjoyable action movie send-up "Hot Fuzz," to their new cute and clever alien road movie "Paul," Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have proven there is no genre outside their range or comedic abilities. Pegg and Frost play two British sci-fi nerds who make a Winnebago pilgrimage from Comic-Con in San Diego to the famed Area 51. There they encounter Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen), an alien who has escaped his government captors and is trying to make it back to his mothership. Thus begins a road trip across the American West, during which they will accidentally kidnap a young woman, be hunted by federal agents and one very irate father, and maybe, if they are very lucky, learn some very important lessons before sending E.T. home.

The Debt (R) HHH Classy, solid and well-acted, "The Debt" is a rare bit of meaty, intelligent filmmaking during the ordinarily dreary final days of summer. With a cast that includes Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkinson and a tremendous Jessica Chastain, led by Shakespeare in Love director John Madden, it seems it would be hard to go wrong. Matthew Vaughn, the director of Layer Cake and Kick-Ass, co-wrote the script. Its smart and tense but also frustrating; it almost feels too safe, too conservative and reserved in the way it hits its notes. Still, everything about it is so respectable, you may feel engrossed in the moment, yet forget about it soon afterward. A remake of a 2007 Israeli film of the same name, The Debt begins in 1997 with three former Mossad agents being heralded at the launch of ...
