Film
Also opening: 'Envy' - mixed with curiosity
What's wrong with this picture? Envy (PG-13) is directed by Academy Award winner Barry Levinson (Rain Man) and stars Jack Black and Ben Stiller, two of the most popular comic actors working today. Yet two major studios sharing the distribution deal, DreamWorks and Columbia Pictures, wouldn't arrange a local advance screening for opening-day reviews.
Indie flix: A feast for the ears
Greendale (Not rated, probably PG-13) (83 min.) - The latest film by grump-rocker Neil Young, his first in 21 years, is so sincerely amateurish in its cinematic technique that its primitive style almost can be forgiven. Greendale was filmed by Young with a Super 8 camera, lending it home-movie sloppiness, in which editing is a rare luxury and focus is an afterthought.
It ought to be illegal
Thou shalt not try to capitalize on Tracy-Hepburn style when cliche is your only evidence, but Laws of Attraction tries to.

Things we like
We don't just like tomatoes: we love 'em. Provided, of course, that they're vine ripe and red. Or, if they're green, sliced thick, rolled in cornmeal batter and fried crisp.
