I picked up The Human Stain only because Sir Anthony Hopkins stars in it and I’m a fan of his work. However, also starring in this movie are Nicole Kidman, Ed Harris, and Gary Sinise, and they all give terrific performances. The basic premise is that a college professor says something in class that is…

*minor spoiler warning* Let’s get something straight: Superman is, by nature of his super powers, always in danger of being utterly boring.

Hey, this film is what it is. Directed by Brett Ratner and set on an island paradise, you couldn’t help but enjoy it for the fantastic shots alone. We’ve got a charming Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek as retired jewel thieves hanging their hats on a lovely island far beyond the FBI’s jurisdiction. That doesn’t…
