  1. Seinfeld: Was He Just Cancelled?

    The TV Zone
    Jerry Seinfeld...CANCELLED??!! Umm....I'm not sure (sorry) but you will note that today, those ads featuring him and Bill Gates will end after just two weeks of saturation bombing on an unsuspecting and entirely blameless American viewing audience. It...

  2. Michel Gondry's 'Be Kind Rewind' spools out on DVD

    IT'S A pity that Michel Gondry's <a href=&quot;http://topics.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/be-kind-rewind">&ldquo;Be Kind Rewind,&rdquo;</a> a movie rife with DIY optimism and analog nostalgia, arrives this week on DVD and not, as befits its premise, good old-fashioned VHS. Gondry has a reputation for technical wizardry -- he is credited with inventing the freeze-and-pan "bullet time" special effect that the Wachowski brothers borrowed for their "Matrix" movies -- but his work is often most magical when he draws on low-tech, even primitive methods. The French filmmaker that this Versailles-born fantasist most recalls is Georges M&#233;li&#232;s, the turn-of-the-last-century creator of such handmade enchantments as "A Trip to the Moon."

  3. 'Be Kind Rewind' spoofs trend of remaking movies

    The premise of Michel Gondry's new comedy, &quot;Be Kind Rewind," seems ridiculous: Two video-store clerks, played by Jack Black and Mos Def, accidentally erase their entire stock and decide to remake the movies themselves. Improbably, their crude, cardboard-prop versions of "Ghost Busters" and "RoboCop" become smash hits - and soon draw the attention of Hollywood.

  4. 'Be Kind Rewind'

    In the first place, well, I mean, come on ... a video store? In 2008? The very concept of &quot;Be Kind Rewind" threatens to leave us scratching our heads and wondering at the outset whether writer-director Michel Gondry is indulging yet again in the kind of time-and-space warping that worked great with his "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," but not so well with "The Science of Sleep."

  5. Movie Review: 'Be Kind Rewind'

    Director Michel Gondry showed through his imaginative &quot;Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and "The Science of Sleep" that to him filmmaking is just an Earth-bound way to capture brief explosions of imagination.

  6. 'Be Kind Rewind' (video rental comedy starring Jack Black and Mos Def)

    Tribune movie critic
    The whimsy gets sticky in "Be Kind Rewind," writer-director Michel Gondry's latest. But it'd be wrong to dismiss the film outright. Gondry's misses are more interesting than most filmmakers' successes. Previously, among others, Gondry made the...

  7. Be Kind, Rewind

    Once upon a time, &quot;Be Kind Rewind" had a lot of promise. Written and directed by Michel Gondry, starring Jack Black and Mos Def, the film is about two friends who are forced to reshoot movies when all the tapes in their video store accidentally get erased. Jack Black and Mos Def reenacting classic '80s and '90s genre flicks? Quel cool! Unfortunately, the devil is all in the details.

  8. 'Be Kind Rewind' is more flourish than film

    (C-) Be Kind Rewind ends with a community get-together that's meant to be as up-with-people and ebullient as an Obama campaign stop. Too bad the movie tries to get there on a ragged wing and a doggerel prayer.

  9. Selling 'Be Kind Rewind' with a slapdash of humor

    In Oscar-winning writer-director Michel Gondry's upcoming comedy &quot;Be Kind Rewind," Jack Black and Mos Def play accidental auteurs -- a couple of knock-around film novices who end up making movie magic with a minimum of resources: tin foil and cardboard, a junkyard back lot and an ancient camcorder chief among them.
