Cinematical has just received a poster and banner for CBS Films' Extraordinary Measures , which will be hitting theaters on January 22, 2010. Yes, folks, those determined faces are for real -- the action flicks and laughs are on hold as Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford are dipping into a little dramatic work, and this time it's to relay the true story of John Crowley and his efforts to cure his kids'...

Those of you who are either scholars or obsessive dilettantes by nature will understand when I explain that the post I intended to write tonight has been temporarily derailed by too much digging. As John Crowley puts it , "The further in you go, the bigger it gets," and that's what happened tonight, as an Edmund Wilson quote on the cover of a favorite anthology of creepy tales led to a quick...

Endless Things is the fourth and final part of John Crowley's Aegypt sequence . I wrote in my review of Daemonomania (the third novel in the sequence) that a short review can never do justice to this breathtakingly complex series of novels. At one level it's a domestic drama set in the Faraway Hills, a rural area of north eastern America, at another a metaphysical interpretation of history, humanity...

Song of a Reformed Headhunter (Free subscription) | 10/22/2009
Two Chicago cops tell the story of their suspension for being derelict of duty, a story of vice, alcoholism, drugs, cannibalism, marital infidelity, violent shootings, dead or dying children . . . and soon you begin to wonder how much more can the story take before descending into melodramatic TV cop drama, and then you realize not very much. Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman try hard to make the script...

Rejoice! It's time for another one of those rare moments where we get to talk about Brendan Fraser acting in a drama -- one that should get him a little more recognition than the smaller dramatic bits and thrillers he's taken on recently. See, he's co-starring with Harrison Ford in a pic called Extraordinary Measures , and the still above is the first from the film (via Cinema Blend ). Based on a...

Despite miscasting its stars as Chicago detectives, this Broadway production of Keith Huff's play is gritty stuff, writes Alexis Soloski I – possibly like women everywhere – have cheered myself with thoughts of Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman on many a dull evening. Now, on Broadway, we have both for the price of one: the pair are starring together in Keith Huff's A Steady Rain, a two-hander...

The buzz on "A Steady Rain," Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig's much-hyped Broadway play, doesn't sound too good. Sure, we'd all jump at the chance to see Wolverine and James Bond together on stage, but this bit from the Times review probably says it all: John Crowley directs with restraint, elegance and limited imagination. Working with the accomplished team of Scott Pask (scenery and costumes),...

GRADE: B By Keith Huff. Directed by John Crowley. The Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. Through December 6. If ever there was a case for stunt casting, A Steady Rain is it. The reviews are mostly positive and the show, about two Chicago cops who have been passed over for detective, is a box office success. Critics find that Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman elevate the material of this all-talk cop drama. Craig...

Hollywood hotties Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig today reap praise from Broadway critics for their portrayals of troubled Chicago cops in “ A Steady Rain ,” but the play itself left many reviewers cold. The two-man police drama written by Keith Huff unfolds as each cop takes turns explaining his version of tragic events. The two perform monologues throughout, with little interaction with...
