Paul Newman, an American original, would seem to be the perfect choice to direct a film adaptation of the second novel by another American original–Ken Kesey. But Kesey’s novel, written under the influence of both LSD and growing fame, was a mishmash, and Newman’s film can’t rescue it. It also seems strange to see the ultraliberal Newman starring as a strike-busting logger who honors a contract o…
Just because Walt Disney created contemporary and traditional classics of animation doesn’t mean the studio is out of ideas–not by a long shot. The Great Mouse Detective is richly animated and offers a clever tale.

Only Joel and Ethan Coen, the fraternal director and producer team behind art-house hits such as The Big Lebowski and Fargo and masters of quirky and ultra-stylish genre subversion, would dare nick the plot line of Homer’s Odyssey for a comic picaresque saga about three cons on the run in 1930s Mississippi. Our wandering hero in this case is one Ulysses Everett McGill, a slick-tongued wise guy…

A monster runs amok in a Chicago museum on the very day the institution is holding a glitzy reception. Naturally, the museum bosses want to go ahead with their public relations even as the creature is decapitating victims.
