| Leatherheads |
Starring:
George Clooney, Renee Zellweger, John Krasinski, Jonathan Pryce,
...
Review:
He belongs to two churches — film and football — and
George Clooney worships at both in Leatherheads, a scrappy
debate on the rules we live by disguised as a screwball comedy. In
his third shot at directing, following two savvy meditations on
media and politics (Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and
Good Night, and Good Luck), Clooney throws us a rowdy
party of a movie. Or does he? Leatherheads could be
subtitled We Only Kill the Things We Love. Clooney paints
a vivid picture of pro football circa 1925 and the advent of the
NFL, endorsements, free agency and contract money that could feed
several starving countries. Clooney plays Dodge Connolly, an aging
team captain who dodges growing up. He knows pro football is a
joke. College football gets respect, but Dodge and...

| Leatherheads |
George Clooney is the closest thing we have to Cary Grant, but as smooth and suave as he is at everything else he does, he struggles with ILeatherheadsI, his own take on the screwball comedies of days gone by. As a star Clooney is in his element, but as a director hes strained, and ILeatherheadsI ends up as a movie that talks like a screwball comedy, but plays about as funny as a college midterm.

| Leatherheads / *** (PG-13) |
By Jim Emerson, editor
In sports and in movies, star quality counts. We may already know the rules of the game, and what strategy is going to be used in each inning, but it can be a joy just watching the pros perform. George Clooney's "Leatherheads" goes into overtime for no good reason, and the only high-wattage star in the lineup is Clooney himself, but man, he knows how to play. The guy's got smarts, wit, timing, a winning face, a good eye -- hell, he's probably even got great legs. Source: RogerEbert Headlines |

| Let's Get Lost / *** (No rating) |
By Jim Emerson, Editor
In the center of the frame, very close to the camera, hangs a studio microphone that could be mistaken for a vintage Soviet communications satellite. Chet Baker, 58, is recording Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Burke's "Imagination." His voice isn't quite as soft and papery as it used to be, but the image -- like every shot of Baker in Bruce Weber's "Let's Get Lost" -- is about the face, not so much the music.
