  4. Opera: This Tosca leads the Puccini parade with purity

    Come Dec. 22, celebrations of <a href=&quot;http://www.puccini.com">Puccini&rsquo;s</a> 150th birthday may abound. But, generally, opera companies are not making the fuss typical of major anniversaries of popular (and even unpopular) composers this year. Or perhaps the companies are. It can be hard to tell, given how common are "La Boheme," "Madame Butterfly" and "Tosca."

  6. 'Night' is murky at best

    Sun Movie Critic
    (C-) Writer-director James Gray sets We Own the Night in 1988. The title comes from the late-'80s motto of the NYPD's street- crimes unit, and a key location is a garish dance club where coke flows like Coke. But at heart, Gray wants to make the best...

  7. Directors searching for their mojo

    A funny thing can happen to filmmakers (and artists in general) who have been around for a while: They lose their mojo. Their careers are going great, and then suddenly -- pfffft! -- they're laying eggs. The question becomes: Can they get their mojo...

  8. David Fincher's masterful 'Zodiac'

    David FINCHER, the director of &quot;Se7en" and "Fight Club," has a reputation for obsessiveness. It's a quality apparent in the perfectionist virtuosity of his visual style and backed up by the stories of countless takes and other taskmaster demands that tend to emerge from his marathon shoots. Only his sixth feature in 15 years and his first since "Panic Room" in 2002, "Zodiac," out on DVD this week, makes literal the underlying theme of Fincher's career. It's a paean to obsession, a dream match of subject and filmmaker.

  9. 'Bug'

    Long-practicing creepologist William Friedkin's quasi-experimental and utterly mental &quot;Bug" is so intense and loony it may work at some theaters like audience repellent. Still, it's a fascinating exercise in paranoia and terror that sticks to the brain like intellectual flypaper: Even viewers who decide they don't like it will find the film as hard to shake off as the insects that plague our two principal characters.

  10. Bug

    &quot;Bug" is such a repellent mess that it's hard to imagine exactly what audience the filmmakers (including "The Exorcist" director William Friedkin) had in mind. An Off-Broadway play adaptation, it's too gory for the arthouse crowd, yet too dull and talky for horror fans. The film's best hope for appreciation lies in the cult arena, simply because it's so unusual, but the vast majority of viewers will most likely just say 'ew&#133;no thanks.'
