  1. Not just the Coens: Directing teams past and present

    Joel and Ethan Coen just made Academy Award history with their tandem nomination for best director for "No Country for Old Men." The siblings are the first brother directing team to be nominated in that category. And if they win, they will become the first team to receive the directing Oscar since Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins won for 1961's best picture winner, "West Side Story."

  2. 'Speed Racer'

    Somewhere between a Mario Bros. video game and Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Speed Racer" is one of the most visually audacious films to come along in years. With its supersaturated palette and slick surfaces, "Speed Racer" looks like a video-art installation at the Whitney, but it also wants to be an old-fashioned Hollywood family film. Against all odds it succeeds, making for a spectacular - and spectacularly strange - viewing experience.

  4. Movie Review: 'Speed Racer'

    "Speed Racer" bemoans corporately financed entertainment for the masses while serving as a fine example thereof. So as big, blaring blockbusters go, it's a bit of a hypocrite. It is also self-congratulatory. When Susan Sarandon's Mom Racer (think Jane...

  5. 'Speed Racer' revs up

    2.5 stars "Speed Racer" is a maelstrom of poptastic color and action that sometimes exhilarates but more often discombobulates. Just as musicals rarely take breaks from song and dance to idle in plain conversation, "Speed Racer" offers few reprieves from its constantly kinetic display, whether it's race cars zooming and colliding down the speedway or urgently talking heads floating across the screen.

  6. 'Speed Racer' is stuck in first gear

    <b>(C)</b> The Wachowski Brothers, the same overgrown boy wonders who concocted The Matrix, create a psychedelic candy store in Speed Racer, then get caught in it with their eyes popped, their brains blown and their pants down. It's a family film done as a trip film. It is a trip, but it's a bad trip.

  9. Bear with him

    On the first day of shooting &ldquo;Into the Wild&rdquo; in Alaska, Emile Hirsch found out quickly that his role would be a bit more demanding than he's used to. For example: neither &ldquo;Alpha Dog&rdquo; nor &ldquo;The Girl Next Door&rdquo; forced him to trudge through waist-high snow carrying a 30-pound backpack, with director Sean Penn refusing to go easy on him.
