  1. Thandie Newton's a double threat

    THANDIE NEWTON has garnered way more column inches for a movie she didn't make (&quot;Charlie's Angels") than for any of the 21 already under her petite belt. At 35, she has starred as girlfriend, wife and daughter of Tom Cruise, Will Smith and Oprah Winfrey, respectively, and worked for an international clutch of esteemed directors (Bernardo Bertolucci, John Woo, Jonathan Demme, Neil Jordan, Paul Haggis). But if the universe conspires in her favor, Newton will merit her most expansive and complimentary coverage yet for playing Condoleezza Rice opposite Josh Brolin in <a href="http://topics.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/w">&ldquo;W,&rdquo;</a> Oliver Stone's George W. Bush biopic out Oct. 17.

  2. Clint Eastwood targets the legacy of Dirty Harry

    ON a recent afternoon at the Warner Bros. lot, <a href=&quot;http://topics.latimes.com/entertainment/people/clint-eastwood"><b>Clint Eastwood</b></a> took a break from a long day in the editing bay and strolled over to a hushed screening room. There, his armed-and-dangerous past was waiting for him, and the filmmaker winced when he looked it in the eye.

  3. Giving Angela Carter her due

    By Richard Rayner "A good writer can make you believe time stands still. Yet the end of all stories, even if the writer forbears to mention it, is death," wrote the English writer Angela Carter, who died 16 years ago this month. At the time Carter was...

  4. 'The Brave One'

    jan.stuart@newsday.com
    It can't be easy being Jodie Foster. I mean, how many scripts could have been floating about in which an agile, whip-smart career woman in her mid-40s conveniently loses her husband or fiance in the first 10 minutes, if not before the movie starts, so...

  6. Coming soon...Fall's best movies

    As the summer movie season groans through the final August dregs, we look ahead to the fall -- aka Oscar-contending -- films to rejuvenate theaters like a gust of crisp autumn wind. You'll find a number of films hewing to post-9/11 themes, and several actors like Ben Affleck, David Schwimmer and Anthony Hopkins will give directing a go for the first time. And, as always, the tried-and-true pros are still churning them out: Wes Anderson, the Farrelly brothers, David Cronenberg, Julie Taymor and Ang Lee.

  7. Fast-Paised review: 'The Brave One'

    After random thugs pummel her fiance to death and deliver a beating that temporarily puts her in a coma, radio host Erica (Jodie Foster) buys a gun and starts discreetly offing criminals because the cops don't seem to do anything about it. Understandably,...

  8. Movie review: 'The Brave One'

    <b>3 stars (out of four)</b>
    Tribune movie critic
    3 stars (out of four) "The Brave One" is "Death Wish" with a guilty conscience, and while it may be a bit of a hypocrite as vigilante thrillers go, the internal contradictions of the thing make for a very interesting picture. Ever since Shakespeare toned...

  9. Jodie turns vigilante in 'Brave One'

    For every D.C. sniper, Son of Sam or terrorist who's received a fair trial in the court of law, there are swarms of Americans who'd rather see such murderous vermin cleanly wiped out from the population.

  10. 'Brave' but bitter

    (C) Jodie Foster, who earned an Oscar nomination 32 years ago for playing a child prostitute in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, plays a more cultured character in The Brave One, an illegitimate heir to that incendiary mid-1970s masterpiece. Here she's a radio personality who reports poetically on the changing face of New York until her own face is beaten to a pulp.

  12. Killing them with charisma

    Forest Whitaker still uses the occasional Britishism, a vestige of his part in Neil Jordan's gender-bender, &quot;The Crying Game." If it weren't so emotionally painful to pick up an alto sax, Whitaker could probably revisit "Bird" with a few jazz blasts from his Charlie Parker past. Ten years from now, he says, he may not be thinking about "Panic Room," but he'll probably be able to drill a safe.
