June 22, 2007 10:31am ESTStripped of unnecessary gore and predictable scare tactics, 1408 is a chilling psychological mind-bender, which stays true to its Stephen King roots.

Sylvia Review
October 17, 2003 12:41pm ESTSylvia admirably tackles the brief life of writer Sylvia Plath, a subject of much heated debate between scholars and feminists alike, but where the acting succeeds, the story falters with a flat interpretation of an intensely deep persona.

Another Day, Another Movie Award
August 15, 2001 10:04am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 21, 1999 — A day after the Golden Globe nominations, the race continued to widen as the Broadcast Film Critics Association announced its picks for the best of the year. Most of them anyway. While the group named its picks for the Top 10 movies of 1999, it won't reveal the No. 1 film until its awards luncheon Jan. 24 in Beverly Hills. Competing for the title of best film (in alphabetical order): "American Beauty," "Being John Malkovich," "The Cider House Rules," "The G

'Stuart Little' Livin' Large
July 31, 2001 12:30pm ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 9, 2000 -- Hollywood got through the first weekend of the new year in slightly better shape than studio insiders expected. It took just $11.5 million to put Columbia's "Stuart Little" in first place, making it the weekend's only Top Five film to crack double digits. Lackluster tracking scores last week had suggested that the new year might kick off with none of the Top Five films doing better than single-digit grosses. Columbia's PG-rated family comedy held on to the

Freddie Defeats 'Friday'
March 19, 2001 11:50am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 23, 2000 -- Hollywood was suffering from the box office blahs over the weekend, just as Hollywood insiders anticipated. For the first time since Oct. 22, no films cracked double-digits. Miramax's PG-13-rated teen-appeal romantic comedy "Down To You" managed to top the chart with only an estimated $8.30 million at 1,971 theaters ($4,211 per theater). Written and directed by Kris Isacsson, it stars Freddie Prinze Jr. and Julia Stiles. "I think it's great," Miramax Senio

B.O. FORECAST: 'Next Friday' Could Remain No. 1
March 19, 2001 11:50am ESTSANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 20, 2000 -- Hollywood is ready for a relatively blah box-office weekend that could see New Line's R-rated urban-appeal comedy sequel "Next Friday" hold on to the top spot. "Nothing looks real exciting," said one studio executive at mid-week. "'Down To You' (opening at about 1,900 theaters via Miramax) actually dropped a little in the tracking. It's down to a 5% first choice -- although you would think that kind of movie with teen-age appeal would be strong on Friday.
