This is the city where Miguel de Cervantes did most of his writing, published "Don Quixote," died and was buried.

It isnÂt easy for people from television to migrate to the big screen. If a stray Shah Rukh Khan proves that thereÂs a chance of stardom for the actor on the home-viewing medium, then for the director itÂs even tougher.

Richard Eyre, a knight of the  realm, is one of the leading lights in British theater and also  has helmed several movies. The list of actors who have fallen  under his direction reads like a who's who of acting and he  loves both the discipline of theater and film.

The European Union is an object of admiration and emulation in much of the world, yet it marks its 50th birthday this month little loved at home.

Like an electioneering candidate, Steve Zaillian's version of ÂAll the KingÂs MenÂ makes a lot of promises but fails to deliver the goods.

The Michael Radford film drags a little despite good performances.

Whatever the reason, No. 700 seems like the poor stepchild of Barry Bonds&#39; famous homers -- the underappreciated one, the one that doesn&#39;t quite get the attention it deserves.

Puneet's characterisation and his appeal make Bindaas a compulsory double viewing for his fans. Good fights and music are the major attractions in this film which offers an age old story and haphazard script. Hansika's beauty rocks in the film.

I DON&#39;T think there&#39;s a big enough slice of humble pie in Berkshire to satisfy my needs this week. Why, you ask? Well I was the bright spark who called for Colin Montgomerie&#39;s exclusion

Robert Zemeckis' new film has technical wizardry but lacks heart.

MULKEYTOWN, Ill. (BP)--Maybe he watches too much professional wrestling. Maybe he&#39;s really Bobby Knight&#39;s illegitimate son.

Tycho:  Heavenly Sword is, as you will soon discover, the very definition of a rental title.  Clocking in at somewhere between five and six hours (depending on your appetite for overwrought cinemas) it's a decent game saddled by impossible expectations.  It has silly ideas and grandeur in close proximity to one another.   It tries hard.  And it's not bad, by any means.  But it's not excellent, and perhaps unfairly it had this onus placed upon it.  I've said that Lair is not the Playstation 3, and nor is Heavenly Sword, but taken together one must come to the unmistakable conclusion that the Playstation 3 is a game console and not the supernatural artifact they have presented it as.  That however many processors and however many gigs of space are not especially relevant when put in the service of middling entertainment.    It has a decent combat system, and using this combat system you will progress from locked room to cramped, locked room until you come face to face with some jeering asshole.  You might kill them either because of the jeering or because you think that death might cull their interminable monologues.  There's a mean snake bitch and a pervert and an oaf.  Oh!  And en evil king.  The only thing running through my head during the lavish and no doubt expensive mo-capped cutscenes was that these kings and bitches and so forth should form a band.  It never seems to know if it wants to be a hilarious comic circus or a stark medieval saga.  Play it, and you'll know what I mean.     There are successes, though:  Kai, the mostly deranged sidekick, charms from the outset.  Her feral animations and nuanced delivery really make her stand out against this batch of also-rans.  Any object that can be thrown can also be thrown and then guided in slow motion, including corpses, which is something you must see to believe.  We didn't even have a target; we would just throw bodies so that they flew like Superman head-first into gongs.  This is something you can do for a half an hour - or more - without tiring of it.  This guided firing is called "Aftertouch," and it's about fifty percent of the game.  One wonders what the game's length would actually be if you didn't play half of it in slow-motion.        Some measure of your enjoyment will be bound up in whether or not you "buy" the story that they are telling.  I've heard it described as epic, when it's pretty rudimentary fantasy-by-numbers bullshit, so who knows.  It's all a matter of perspective:  are we judging it against only PS3 games?  If so, things are shaping up!  If you own more than one console - or a personal computer - your standards for grand storytelling were recently adjusted upward.

It is an unlikely pairing. One, a publicity-shy member of the British aristocracy, was bridesmaid to Princess Margaret.

So the Prince of Wales is marrying a divorce, and hardly anyone cares. What a difference nearly seven decades (and millions of British divorces) can make.

If you are going to go  up against George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart (&quot;The Man Who Came  to Dinner&quot;) and Jean Renoir (&quot;Boudu Saved From Drowning&quot;) to  tell the old chestnut about an impossible house guest who will  not leave, then you&#039;d better have the comedic and dramatic  goods.
