Those who have read the Newbery Award-winning children's novel Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson will have trouble recognizing it in previews for the film adaptation.

While it may be difficult to surmise whether the arrival of international soccer star David Beckham into U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) will help invent a mass market for soccer in the United States, it's certainly not hard to see why the superlative footballer would hop across the pond.

Letters from Iwo Jima's Golden Globe victory for best foreign language film does not begin to tell how powerful a film director Clint Eastwood has made. Originally set to be the Japanese companion piece to Eastwood's American portrayal of the battle for Iwo Jima (Flags of Our Fathers), Letters easily surpasses Flags in terms of storytelling and emotional depth.
