Superman dies under mysterious circumstances. Is it his girlfriend's studio mogul husband? The flaky fiancée? Or is it suicide? Sounds like the perfect subject for a sophisticated meditation on Hollywood circa 1950. Which is just what Allen Coulter's "Hollywoodland" aims to be. It's hard to dismiss ...

If any film was going to bring peace to Adam and Sam's increasingly contentious relationship (name changes, over-hyped snakes, and movies about bickering families all contributing to the recent streak of divisiveness), that movie should have been "Invincible."

The works of novelist Philip K. Dick have been turned into big budget action spectacles like "Blade Runner," "Total Recall," and "Minority Report." So it is perhaps a little surprising that Richard Linklater's adaptation of Dick's 1977 "A Scanner Darkly" is very much what you'd expect from a Linklat...
