It’s bad when images from a movie directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Peter Jackson call to mind those crudely animated Empire carpet commercials , but such is life for The Adventures of Tintin .

Is Shia LaBeouf the New Michael J. Fox?

In 2007, a dapper young star named Shia LaBeouf appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair next to an interesting caption: “Can Hollywood Turn 21-Year-Old Shia LaBeouf Into the Next Tom Hanks?” Provocative. Of course, LaBeouf’s career shifted from that of a Hanks-ian, potential Oscar nominee to the domain of a de rigueur action star.

True story: “[T]here’s a spray-tanned John Malkovich going real big ; an absolutely bonkers physical comedy endurance routine from Ken Jeong; Frances McDormand vacillating between phone-in and terrifying commitment as a chief spook; a big and effortlessly campy John Turturro splatter-painting of a performance.

What Other Disney Rides Should Be Made Into Features?

As reported on Wednesday night , Disney is moving full-steam ahead on a film adaptation of the famed Matterhorn ride at Disneyland. Tentatively called The Hill , the new project will focus on five young adventurers who wind up tangling with some fairly upset Yetis atop a large mountain. Spooky, scary, etc. Instead of getting on your soapbox to complain about yet another Disney ride being co-opted for big screen doubloons, though, why not embrace the obvious and help Movieline suggest some other Disney rides that should become movies.
