The Village: Review

Uneven story that centers around a Swiss school designed to provide homes for the orphans of WW II. The children are represented in a realistic and convincing manner, depicting their various frustrations, desires, and longings. However, the love affair between two teachers from the school, Justin and Dahlbeck, softens the impact of the children's tribulations, without being all that interesting itself. leave a comment

"I'm always pretty game for that," says the actress. "Cindy's so sweet and innocent, which gets a little annoying, [so] it's fun to take me down every now and then."

Bryce Dallas Howard, star of M. Night Shyamalan's The Village and the soon-to-be-released Manderlay, is in talks to play Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker's new love interest — his first, actually, per the comic books, but that's a long story — in Spider-Man 3, which is scheduled to start shooting this month.

"Rather than waste time arguing with a friend... we decided amicably to let another composer score the film." James Newton Howard (The Village) has accepted the rush job. read more
