No lie: 'Invention' is funny

Ricky Gervais is a very funny guy.

In "The Office," the brilliant British sitcom he created and wrote with Stephen Merchant, Gervais played a cringingly hilarious office manager who was a lot less intelligent or talented than he believed.

In "Extras," also made with Merchant, he was just as good as a struggling actor who discovers the truth in the old adage of being careful about what you wish for.

One angry man

In “Extraordinary Measures,” Harrison Ford is chair-kicking angry. Pig-biting angry. Angrier than a one-man production of “Twelve Angry Men.” He plays Dr. Robert Stonehill, a medical researcher with a potential cure for a fatal genetic disorder and a compulsion to lock horns with anyone he considers his intellectual inferior, which is everyone.

Based on a real-life story, “Extraordinary Measures,” from the new studio CBS Films, would fit snugly into the two-hour slot behind “CSI: NY.” It has the production values, visual texture and maudlin tone of a disease-of-the-week teleplay. Ford’s participation, and the grandstanding performance he delivers, raise it from a middlebrow TV-style weepie to a higher plateau of quality. Intermittently, anyway.

The tear-jerking starts early and proceeds until our lachrymal glands are milked, squeezed, sucked and bled dry. Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell play John and Aileen Crowley, whose two youngest children have Pompe Disease, a lethal muscle-waster. John is a star executive but his kids’ health crisis overshadows career concerns.

Andrews misses singing

LOS ANGELES — Julie Andrews wants to make one thing perfectly clear — she's not making a comeback as a singer.

For the past few months, Andrews has been trying to dispel rumors that she has had vocal reconstruction surgery. Back in 1997, she had non-cancerous nodules removed from her throat, silencing the glorious soprano that graced the Broadway musicals "My Fair Lady" and "Camelot" and film classics such as 1964's "Mary Poppins," for which she won a best actress Oscar, 1965's "The Sound of Music" and 1982's "Victor/Victoria."

Andrews says a week after this erroneous report began to circulate on the Internet, it was announced that she was going to do a big concert this May in London.

Holywood's guilty pleasure

No one can lay a glove on the Golden Globes. It's the award show that has survived so many crazy incidents and outrageous behavior over the years that it has developed an an almost absolute immunity to criticism.

Showbiz journalists have penned detailed exposes, columnists have mocked the movies nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, TV critics have panned the show, but nothing — not even the infamous choice of Pia Zadora as new female star of the year — has been able to stop the Globes from motoring along as one of Hollywood's most unlikely institutions.

I suspect the Globes owe their robust health less to their value as an award season barometer than to the fact that everyone in Hollywood enjoys the idea of having an award show that is as raucous and silly as the Academy Awards is stuffy and tame. The Globes are Hollywood's ultimate guilty pleasure. If the Oscars are as earnest as an Ed Zwick movie, the Globes are as daffy and unpredictable as a Sacha Baron Cohen comedy.

Sundance buyers expected to focus on low-budget horror

Midnight at the Sundance Film Festival is usually when most Hollywood types are just starting to party. But at this year's showcase of independent film, many film buyers will be heading in a different direction: late-night sales screenings.

The 26th annual festival, which kicked off Thursday in Park City, Utah, has yielded the art house breakouts "An Inconvenient Truth," "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Reservoir Dogs." Over the next 10 days, though, distributors could be less interested in potential award-winners than carnage and comedy.

With the ultra low-budget "Paranormal Activity" emerging last year as one of the most profitable movies in Hollywood history — made for about $15,000, the supernatural story grossed $107 million domestically — there's fresh Sundance focus on Park City at Midnight, the festival section dedicated to inexpensive horror works and often raunchy comedies.

THE SUPERMAN OF BASEBALL'S OLD BOY'S CLUB: THE TRUE AND AMAZING STORY OF HOW, WITH A SINGLE HAND, BRANCH RICKEY SLOWED A SPEEDING BULLET TO "ALL DELIBERATE SPEED"
Is there an American who has advanced beyond the sixth grade unfamiliar with that most affirming morality tale in American history - the story of Branch Rickey, Jackie Robinson and the integration of Major League Baseball in 1947? As symbolic and ingrained in the national fabric as the game is, it was seen, and has been recalled, as an American tipping point. Because baseball in America had mirrored the nation's racial practices for decades, the event was perceived as momentous and precipitous because here, baseball foreshadowed nationwide, federally-imposed and endorsed desegregation, coming as it did seven years before the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education. As the story goes, once Major League Baseball rejected the "separate but equal" fiction of the Court's 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision, it was inevitable that the case was on its last legs. It is not the only story that can be told, however. The same facts and information that lead to the popular tale can also lead to a different one; one which is equally illuminating in that it shows men in a powerful institution doing all they could to beat back a rising tide against them - the tide of integration - that threatened their status and way of life. One which is not so much a story of equality but one where these powerful men fought to maintain control over the process of integration such that the resulting "story" was one about equality only in its most superficial sense, with true equality having been delayed and denied to the majority of African Americans despite the success of Jackie Robinson. For in the end, although the powerful men may not have been able to alter history itself to the extent they desired, they could, however, greatly affect how that history was recounted and remembered. The popular story of the integration of Major League Baseball is perhaps one of the most resonant and powerful in our culture. But, at its core, it is simply that: a story. One that, like most stories, is complete with gaps and inconvenient facts left on the cutting room floor. What follows is another story - one that sweeps up these facts and picks them out of the dustbin of history in order to tell a far different tale of the integration of "America's game." It is likely that the powerful men would be far less pleased with this story, exposing as it does their flaws, fears and misperceptions. But that is precisely why they have chosen not to tell it.

Virtuoso Virtuality: James Cameron's Avatar is a spectacle that should be seen by all who appreciate movie making at its finest.
Film: Avatar is the type of film that only the self-proclaimed ''King of the World'' could make. James Cameron has tackled futuristic killing machines, stomach-splitting aliens and sinking ships, and is now faced with big expectations. It's been twelve years since Titanic left port, and buzz around his latest venture (a word which doesn't quite capture the scope of this project) is otherworldly. And with a budget in the hundreds of millions range, one has to wonder if Avatar could ever be a big enough success. Avatar And yet, success is the perfect word for Avatar. It's not perfect, but when you have a damn good movie that's also a unique theatrical experience, there's little left to want for Christmas. For those who aren't chomping at the bit to see Avatar, it's most likely known as the film with the blue people in it. But clocking in at 161 minutes, there's so much more to Avatar – both in plot and style. … (more)

Singular Sensation: A Single Man is heartbreaking in its subject matter and uplifting in its beauty, while Nine is a messy adaptation
Film: Five minutes into A Single Man, fashion designer Tom Ford's directorial debut, you realize you're seeing art. At first it seems to be that highly esoteric, stylistic art meant to alienate and rise above the masses. Then the film morphs into art in its purest form. For here is a visionary creating his masterpiece and making it vibrant, raw, utterly captivating. At once, A Single Man is both heartbreaking in its subject matter and uplifting in its beauty, and if it's not the best film of the year, it's certainly among the cream of the crop. Based on Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel of the same name and adapted by Ford, A Single Man chronicles one day in the life of George (Colin Firth), a teacher mourning the loss of his long-time partner Jim (Matthew Goode). As the old adage says, a gun introduced in the first scene must be used by the end of the story, so it's no surprise to learn that George has decided to kill himself. A Single Man In an effort to understand George more fully, A Single Man jumps seamlessly through time: George and Jim share a quiet moment together on the couch; a student attempts to seduce George; George and Jim meet; George encounters a hustler outside a liquor store. Ford ensures that it is always crystal clear what's taking place and why George and the audience need to experience each particular moment. Some moments are lifted straight from Isherwood's page with their lyrical nature intact, while others are liberally adapted by Ford, who goes so far as to add new characters and, most daringly, the suicide plot. While Isherwood purists are sure to be up in arms about the changes, Ford's version is strong. … (more)

Broken Bones: Peter Jackson has no problem creating mind-boggling visuals and it's one of the reasons The Lovely Bones fails
Film: There's a sweetness to Alice Sebold's 2002 mega-bestseller The Lovely Bones that belies the story of a young girl's brutal rape and killing. That same sweetness, so magnificently captured on the page, is missing from Peter Jackson's film adaptation of Sebold's book. The Lovely Bones At the center of The Lovely Bones is Susie Salmon (Atonement's Saoirse Ronan), who will forever be 14, her age when a serial killer makes her his latest victim. Trapped between heaven and Earth, Susie witnesses how grief affects each of her loved ones differently, from a father (Mark Wahlberg) hell-bent on finding his daughter's killer to a mother (Rachel Weisz) who grows more distant every day. Susie can do little more than chronicle a future she never had the chance to live, acting as a frustrated narrator with the power to comfort her family and identify her killer if she could only bridge the seemingly short distance between them. Jackson has two worlds to create in The Lovely Bones: the limbo Susie inhabits and the increasingly changed world she left behind. As evidenced in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and King Kong, Jackson has no trouble creating rich, vibrant worlds filled with strange creatures and mind-boggling visuals. Yet while his hyperactive imagination worked so well in his prior projects, it's one of the reasons The Lovely Bones fails. His technique hasn't faltered — the end result is still stunning — but a tree transforming into a flock of birds or a giant ship-in-a-bottle crashing onto a beach feel like grand visuals for the sake of inserting grand visuals. When narrative takes a backseat to pretty pictures and neither plot nor the characters are advanced in any way, it's the equivalent of using something shiny as a distraction, or what the TV show Glee would call "hairography." … (more)

Sleuthing Around: Guy Ritchie's re-imagines Sherlock Holmes as an action property, complete with bloody fights and huge explosions
Film: "Elementary, my dear Watson." If you just became indignant about the fact that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle never wrote that famous line, you will likely not enjoy Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, because you will never get past the overhaul of the famous detective (Robert Downey Jr.) as an action star who jumps out of windows, wins fight club matches, defies death to rescue damsels in distress, and is even willing to practice a little dark magic if the case requires it. For that matter, Dr. Watson (Jude Law) is willing to do pretty much all of the above as well. Sherlock Holmes The first ten minutes of the film will determine whether you can survive the next two hours, as Holmes and Watson swoop in to stop a satanic cult leader from sacrificing a beautiful woman writhing on an altar. The shocked and barely competent London police take Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong) into custody, and it looks like Holmes has another notch in his crime-solving belt. But when Blackwood returns from the grave, either Watson's medical skills are in question – the good doctor confirmed Blackwood's death – or the game is afoot. Holmes convinces Watson to put mayhem over matrimony and join in the pursuit. … (more)

It's a quintessential coming of age story revolving around sex, sex and even more sex. Youth in Revolt Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) is an awkward teen who dreams of beautiful women and his insecure charm somehow makes him irresistible. Hard to imagine Cera in this role, right? When the boyfriend (The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis) of Nick's mom (Jean Smart) pisses off some sailors, they head for RV land, where Nick falls for the princess in the park, Sheeni (Portia Doubleday). In an effort to combat his good-boy imagine, Nick creates a French alter-ego, Francois Dillinger. Sporting tight white pants, loafers with no socks, a thin mustache and the ever-present cigarette, Cera really walks the European gay line. Director Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl) manages to pull together a charming movie out of the books written by C.D. Payne. Part Road Trip and part Sybil (with a hefty helping of American Pie), Nick and Francois really step in it in their attempt to get in it. … (more)
