Outkast's energetic mishmash of a movie musical. Plus: the gross-out spectacle of How to Eat Fried Worms.

It’s Meryl’s moment. Yet again.

Oliver Stone’s strenuously apolitical World Trade Center.

Why Miami Vice is such delirious eye candy. Plus: Woody Allen’s sweet smell of near success.

Lady in the Water drowns in the pool of its director’s self-regard; Edmond is Mamet uncut.

Who cares about plot? The Pirates sequel is a wild ride all the same. Plus: a French alter-ego trip.

Masterful propaganda about Gitmo’s “Tipton Three”—and mindless pleasure courtesy of Keanu and Sandra.
