HONG KONG (AP) ― May is the month of Aaron Kwok in Chinese movies. The dancer-turned-singer-turned-actor stars in two of the month’s major releases ― Gu Changwei’s romance “Love for Life,” and Oxide Pang’s crime thriller “The Detective 2” ― and has earned rave reviews from both directors.

This year, summer movies not only about men
May 1, 2011
From its earliest days, Hollywood has been a boy’s club. And summer traditionally is the season of boy movies ― big, loud, rude and not terribly smart. So what are we to make of the summer of 2011 when so many titles suggest, well, an estrogen-centric approach? It’s not as if bad boys and manly men will be AWOL from the megaplex over the next four months ― not with “Thor” and “Green Lantern” a...

LOS ANGELES ― As far as tightly wound actresses go, Reese Witherspoon tops the list. She insists upon a strict sense of order in her life.

How Sidney Lumet fought showbiz blacklist
Apr 22, 2011
LOS ANGELES ― I’d almost forgotten what an unabashed liberal Sidney Lumet had been until I read an essay by New York Post critic Kyle Smith, an unabashed conservative who has little good to say about Lumet’s signature work, seeing it as emblematic of the weak-kneed moral relativism of lefty do-gooders. Taking apart Lumet’s “12 Angry Men,” Smith dubs it an “ur-myth of liberal fantasy,” saying “one...
