'The Day After Tomorrow'
![Have we lost our appetite for cinematic destruction — for watching our world shatter into smithereens? I ask because in two of his previous films, "Independence Day" and "Godzilla," Roland Emmerich laid waste to the world — leveling its great cities and zapping the White House — with the unbounded glee of a rampaging puppy. In his latest special-effects onslaught, "The Day After Tomorrow," the filmmaker again wipes out enormous swaths of humanity and real estate, but this time the overall tone is funereal, sober. It's the end of the world as we know it and no one feels fine.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-05/12809059.jpg "Have we lost our appetite for cinematic destruction — for watching our world shatter into smithereens?

'Mystic River'
!["Mystic River" is a major American motion picture, an overpowering piece of work that involves some of the most basic human emotions: love, hate, fear, revenge, despair. Directed by Clint Eastwood with absolute confidence and remarkable control, it owes both its success and its significance to the way it seamlessly unites elements that are difficult to pull off on their own, much less together.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2003-10/9711641.jpg ""Mystic River\" is a major American motion picture, an overpowering piece of work that involves some of the most basic human emotions: love, hate, fear, revenge, despair.

'The Phantom of the Opera'
Times Staff WriterIt's Paris, 1919, and the city has seen better days. You can tell from the grainy black-and-white footage, the smoke wisping around the Opera Populaire (which looks suspiciously like the Paris Opera House) and the scraps of paper fluttering in the wind &#...Tags: Las Vegas, Children, Opera (genre), Nevada, Paris (France)
