Undertow: A

By Dan Zak | October 28

Has an American film renaissance started with David Gordon Green? Sure, there have been high-profile road signs in that direction over the past 10 years - Tarantino, Charlie Kaufman - but who but Green has shown such invention and versatility at such a young age?

Diary of an Intern: Ashlee, don't blame the band

By Michael Vallebuona | October 28

Could you imagine if Ashlee Simpson was an intern in your office? I envision her at a neighboring cubicle, her rat's nest of a hairdo pooling on the floor beside her dirty Chuck Taylors. The phone would ring, and raising the handset to her bejeweled ear, she'd croak: "Hi, this is, like, Ashlee speaking!" I'd glare at her in hatred, only to be lost in the beak-like nose and butt-like chin that dominate her pinched, mannish face.

Interview: Jamie Foxx's big break

By Costa Caloudas | October 28

"Anybody got any shades?" asks Jamie Foxx. He borrows a pair, and suddenly the built 36-year-old is transformed into a scrawny 70-year-old Ray Charles, complete with a trembling, stammering voice and feeble body language. "The voice ... it's in the shades," Foxx said. These shades transform Foxx into Ray Charles -- the same way a cape transforms Clark Kent into the Man of Steel.

Ray: B+

By Costa Caloudas | October 28

Biopics are a polarizing genre of film. They're either plagued with historical inaccuracies, bad impressions or bland scripts. A few have been great ("Rudy"), more have been good ("La Bamba," "Man on the Moon") and others have been god-awful ("Plath," "Dahmer"). And now, music great Ray Charles gets the biopic treatment.
