  1. 'Brideshead Revitalized'

    Special to Newsday
    Lady Marchmain, the lead foot on the spiritual engine of Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead Revisited," seems as anachronistic as a detachable collar, bobbed hair or the Latin Mass. And her strain of Roman Catholicism -- unflinching, irreproachable,...

  3. Dwayne Johnson jumps back into Hollywood's name game

    Here's a news flash: The Rock is no more. It's not even Dwayne &quot;The Rock" Johnson but merely <a href="http://topics.latimes.com/entertainment/people/dwayne-johnson"><b>Dwayne Johnson</b></a>, plain vanilla, regular guy, would-be action-hero for the text-message set.

    Here's a news flash: The Rock is no more. It's not even Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson but merely Dwayne Johnson, plain vanilla, regular guy, would-be action-hero for the text-message set. For us mere mortals, it's always slightly mystifying to watch...

  4. Robert Downey Jr. is ready to play the hero in 'Iron Man'

    TO become a mega-movie star these days, a man must don the tights. With a few notable exceptions like <a href=&quot;http://topics.latimes.com/entertainment/people/leonardo-dicaprio">Leonardo DiCaprio, </a>who had the good fortune to be in the highest-grossing movie of all time (that would be "Titanic"), almost every $20-million man has done his time as a caped crusader, masked marvel or some popcorn equivalent, such as a pirate or extraterrestrial G-man. Call it the Nicolas Cage career plan, in which Cage traded in artistic cred for more muscles, Bruckheimer-bravado and enormous paychecks. In his canny wake have followed <a href="http://topics.latimes.com/entertainment/people/johnny-depp">Johnny Depp,</a> Tobey Maguire, <a href="http://topics.latimes.com/entertainment/people/keanu-reeves">Keanu Reeves</a>, <a href="http://topics.latimes.com/entertainment/people/will-smith">Will Smith </a>-- the list of stars who've streamlined their individuality for mega-stardom goes on and on.

  6. 'Grey's Anatomy' Star on Worst Nude Scenes List

    Zap2It.com
    Mr. Skin may have applauded Marisa Tomei's topless turn in "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead," but the film also yielded one of the least appealing shows of skin thanks to the untoned buttocks of a costar. Papermag's Cinemaniac, aka Dennis Dermody,...

  7. Taking a peek into holiday boxes

    It's the holiday season and time for film, TV and music distributors to pump out those box sets, many of which are just repackaging of already released stuff - the industry's equivalent of re-gifting.

  9. Reign Out

    Sometimes a performer must stoop to conquer her own historical epic. Laurence Olivier did so in that great 20th Century saga &quot;The Betsy." And Cate Blanchett acts the 16th Century living Protestant daylights out of "Elizabeth: The Golden Age."

  10. The knight who would be king

    THERE'S not a word in &quot;King Lear" about any "Queen Lear," but Ian McKellen takes the stage nonetheless wearing two wedding rings, ones few in the audience will notice. Sir Ian simply had an epiphany as he prepared to take on the great Shakespearean role for the first time -- that the aged king likely had had two wives, the first bearing him his eldest daughters, now so plotting and duplicitous, and the second giving him sweet Cordelia, the youngest. McKellen imagined a more detailed back story for that second marriage too, one that has the beloved second Queen Lear having died in childbirth, and now their girl is about the same age she was then, putting all these complex feelings in the recesses of the king's mind -- and Sir Ian's -- as they make their grand entrance and for 3 1/2 hours become one and the same tragic figure.

  12. Movie review: 'Becket'

    Tribune movie critic
    "Becket," producer Hal Wallis' opulently entertaining film of Jean Anouilh's play, is the tale of a wild and woolly British king and his God-intoxicated buddy, whom he unwisely appoints archbishop of Canterbury and then must battle. The time is the 1160s,...
