Tom Cruise recognizes he won’t be the only game in town this summer — at least, he wants you to think he recognizes he won’t be the only game in town this summer.
On Wednesday, the star of the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One tweeted pictures of himself in front of three posters for movies coming out in the next month: Oppenheimer, Barbie and Joy Ride.
He also gave a shout out to Harrison Ford and how he’s reprising his signature role.
“This summer is full of amazing movies to see in theaters,” he wrote. “Congratulations, Harrison Ford, on 40 years of Indy and one of the most iconic characters in history. I love a double feature, and it doesn’t get more explosive (or more pink) than one with Oppenheimer and Barbie.”

In 1984 (or thereabouts) Alan Moore was asked to write a Batman one-shot for artist Brian Bolland. Between the arrival of the script and the publication of the Prestige Format Batman: The Killing Joke, Moore went on to become the most popular and best-selling comics writer of the decade. One of the reasons was that unlike his peers, he dug deeply into what made the heroes and villains tick and how they related to one another.
As a result of the strong writing and the brilliant artwork, the one-shot went on to become an acclaimed title that has remained in print ever since. Its little surprise, then, that Warner Animation finally turned their attention to adapting it for their direct-to-video line of films. They sparred little expense, bringing in crime writer Brian Azzarello and reuniting the popular Batman: The Animated Series vocal duo of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. Warner even...

After enduring a rather financially successful two-day theatrical run – amid much controversy pertaining to its content – Batman: The Killing Joke has arrived on Blu-Ray for the viewing pleasure of adult Batman fans everywhere. I say that because the film is R-rated, which doesn’t come as a surprise to me or anyone else who is already familiar with the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland, of which it is based on.
Before I discuss the various bells and whistles included on the home video release, allow me to discuss the film itself for a bit, as you are no doubt curious as to what I thought of it. Although my analysis will be somewhat non-linear in nature, I feel it’s the best way to talk about the material and you will certainly see why.
First, let’s go over what was adapted from comic book to screen.

2004: Wardrobe malfunction
Spotted! Grime "Alternatively called 8 bar, sub-low or eski… there's no particular structure, just an average 136+ Bpm, lots of speaker-shattering bass, and tales of girls, guns, drug-dealing and the ultimate crowd-pleaser, 'slewing' – slagging off the competition a la Eminem in 8 Mile." Hattie Collins merks it
Jesus wept "If you're a male flagellation buff out for a night on the town with the girlfriend who hates Jerry Seinfeld and the rest of the children of Israel, I honestly can't think of a better date flick." Joe Queenan spots Mel Gibson's antisemitic streak in The Passion Of The Christ
Sign of the times The iTunes Music Store launches in June. "If one aspect of the iTunes Store might give the serious music fan pause," writes Andrew Mueller, "it is this: the rock'n'roll album,...

On December 10, 1791, after Mozart had died five days earlier at age 35, there was a memorial service in Vienna, and for the first time some of his Requiem was performed. It was not noted then what parts were played, but H.C. Robbins Landon, who has studied the Requiem completion in some depth and made his own edition, makes the obvious nomination: the movements that Mozart had largely completed, the Introit (Requiem aeternam), which was fully finished, and the Kyrie, for which Mozart had written all the vocal parts and the basso continuo, and which thus needed only the orchestration, which was accomplished at least well enough for that first performance by Franz Jakob Freystädtler (a student of Mozart's) doubling the choral parts with instrumentation, while another student of Mozart's, Franz Xaver Sűssmayr, composed original parts for trumpets and timpani.

Some of the first movie posters that I ever took seriously, or seriously loved, were Soviet posters of the 1920s. Instantly arresting, intensely colorful and irresistibly dynamic, as well as being rendered more appealingly abstract because of their Cyrillic typography, the best of these posters, like those of the Stenberg Brothers and Alexander Rodchenko, are, it almost goes without saying, among the greatest works of 20th century graphic design. Having said that, I haven’t really thought about them much lately. The most famous of them have inevitably become so overexposed (pastiched by Shepard Fairey and Franz Ferdinand, sold on t-shirts on Soho trestle tables, printed on mugs and aprons...), and their genius a given, that they've become like the Citizen Kane of movie posters, unassailably great and thus rarely discussed.

American actor known for his comic roles in the films of Mel Brooks
Kenneth Mars, who has died aged 75 from pancreatic cancer, was cherished by audiences for his unhinged comic performances in two of the writer-director Mel Brooks's finest and funniest movies, The Producers (1968) and Young Frankenstein (1974). Along with performers including Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn and Cloris Leachman, he created some of the most sublimely silly moments in Us film comedy.
For all that, he longed for his acting range to be recognised. Asked in 2001 what he would change about the perception of himself, he replied: "That I am only a comedic actor – I would like to be considered for more dramatic roles." Small wonder, then, that he cited as his favourite among his own work the little-seen 1971 drama Desperate Characters, in which he appeared opposite Shirley MacLaine and gave what the critic Roger Ebert called "a deeply felt,...
