  1. Kerouac opus 'On the Road' hits just enough beats ★★★

    An eternal fountain of adolescence, Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" went through many permutations between its point of origin, 1948, and its point of notorious, divisive publication, 1957. The best description of it came from Kerouac himself, in a journal entry written after his first cross-country road trip in 1948. The book he had in mind, he said, was about "two guys hitchhiking to California in search of something they don't really find, and losing themselves on the road, and coming all the way back hopeful of something else." There's a simple beauty to that. The question is: How do you film an extended yearning?

  2. 'Spring Breakers' review: An unforgettable haze

    <strong>***1/2 (out of four)</strong>
    ***1/2 (out of four) If we cut loose with friends on vacation, do we lose ourselves or become who we really are? It's a big question generated in the unexpectedly great “Spring Breakers,” which, yeah, could be lazily dismissed as just an...

  4. 'Texas Chainsaw 3D' to get nicked by 'Hobbit' at the box office

    There won't be much buzz at the box office on the first weekend of the new year, as only one new movie -- &quot;Texas Chainsaw 3D" -- hits theaters nationwide.

  5. 'Promised Land' review: There will be what exactly?

    <strong>**1/2 (out of four)</strong>
    **1/2 (out of four) Oh, commerce and integrity. Can't you two ever get along? Five years after Daniel Day-Lewis, his mustache and his oil derricks wreaked havoc in early 20th century California, star/co-writer Matt Damon and “Promised Land&...

  6. Midwest native looks east in 'Somewhere Between'

    &quot;I am a child stuck between two countries," says 15-year-old Fang "Jenni" Lee in the insightful new documentary "Somewhere Between." Adopted at age 5 and raised in Berkeley, Calif., she is one of roughly 80,000 girls who have come to the U.S. since China first began allowing foreign adoptions in 1992.

  7. 'Promised Land': Fracking tale barely touches surface ★★

    For a fellow who's just been promoted to vice president of land management by his multibillion-dollar natural gas company, the character played by Matt Damon in &quot;Promised Land" is awfully wussy. He turns into a puddle whenever he's bested by the opposition: a likable environmental activist portrayed by John Krasinski. What's up? Mr. Corporate Slicko has never been trained in countering the other side's arguments?

  8. Review: 'Promised Land' begins well but never quite catches hold

    "Promised Land" certainly sounds promising. It's got a strong cast and an intriguing premise that has the added bonus of real-world relevance. But, good intentions and good work aside, the film flounders before it reaches its conclusion. The film, which...

  9. 'Promised Land': Drilling drama lacks depth, critics say

    In the new eco-drama "Promised Land," co-writers and co-stars Matt Damon and John Krasinski take on the hot-button issue of hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," through which chemicals are pumped into the ground to extract natural gas. Damon plays an...

  10. Matt Damon and John Krasinski's zigzag path to 'Promised Land'

    In the 15 years since Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won the Academy Award for their &quot;Good Will Hunting" screenplay, Damon has worked with some of Hollywood's best directors, become a humanitarian in Africa and even parodied himself with the help of Kevin Smith and Jimmy Kimmel. What he hasn't done is write another script.

  11. Composer Danny Elfman's year: 6 film scores, 6 different styles

    Composer Danny Elfman was deep into completing his work on David O. Russell's &quot;Silver Linings Playbook" when the director called an audible. Perhaps, the musician remembers Russell telling him, there should be no original music.

  12. L.A's Milk Carton Kids have entered the 'Promised Land'

    Despite possessing a rather unassuming sound -- one built on gentle acoustic strumming and comforting harmonies -- local act the Milk Carton Kids have had a rather booming year and a half. Two self-released albums published straight-to-the-Web are said to have racked-up more than 130,000 downloads, and artists such as acoustic stars the Old Crow Medicine Show and the Punch Brothers&nbsp;have taken the Hotel Cafe regulars on tour.&nbsp;
