SMOKIN' ACES
starstarstarstar
Less a laddish lark a la Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and more an existential howl of despair, writer-director Joe Carnahan's (Narc) convoluted third feature sends a heavily armed swarm of cops, mercenaries and freaks bouncing off each other in a Lake Tahoe hotel, all in pursuit of a mob turncoat (Jeremy Piven). For rip-snorting pop entertainment, it's one discomfiting, nasty piece of work, and ain't that a kick in the head. Read the complete review for Smokin' Aces

Monday, Jan. 28 at 9 pm/ETThe Monastery | SUND An old man who dreams of converting his crumbling Danish chateau into a Russian Orthodox monastery butts heads with a strong-willed nun. Could anything sound duller? But this wonderful documentary is actually a surprisingly complex and deeply poignant portrait of a stubborn and irascible loner who meets his match in the last person he ever expected.Tuesday, Jan. 29, at 10 pmFrances | FLX Jessica Lange took everyone by surprise with her shockingly raw portrayal of the troubled movie star Frances Farmer, a promising but difficult actress who went from Paramount costumes to a straightjacket in record time.

Epic Spoof Tops Weekend Box Office

At a time when the best of the cinematic best are being celebrated, how ironic that a C-lister-studded piece of unscreened-for-critics fluff like Epic Movie emerged No. 1 at the weekend box office, with a $19.2 million haul. Rounding out the top five were Smokin' Aces (opening with $14.3 mil), Night at the Museum ($9.5 mil, now at $217 mil to-date), Jennifer Garner's Catch and Release (which, from what I have read, they should have done with the script; $8 mil) and Stomp the Yard ($7.8 mil). read more
