It's Carey's preferred prophesy about the British royal family. ''I think the royal family is just going to end up retiring, I don't think we're going to have to do anything.

Two 'Youth in Revolt' stars tell no tales There are lots of reasons to recommend The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, the latest from the film fabulist and former Monty Pythonite Terry Gilliam.

For another, the film marks Heath Ledger's final turn. The actor, with a key role as a seductive carny barker in cahoots with Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) and his gang, died midway through production. Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law stepped in to play incarna...

At the end of the last set of episodes, Kaylie Cruz (Josie Loren) won the national championship that should have been Payson's, but she's already unraveling under the pressure. Her friendship with Payson is in tatters, a victim of insecurity and jealousy, and her ex-boyfriend Carter (Zachary Burr Abel) has returned to the Rock after a suspension, enough to shock her off the balance beam.

Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, and that's all you need to say It's a well-turned piece about forgiveness and memory, with just a touch of the fabulist about it, and you can't think of another actor other than Duvall ...

Jacques Audiard interview while in his 1996 breakthrough film A Self Made Hero, Mathieu Kassovitz’s fabulist reinvents himself after World War Two as a Resistance hero.
