Take a pinch of psychic phenomenon, add a dash of Southern gothic, stir in a sharp cast of talented actors, and you'll come up with The Gift, director Sam Raimi's ingenious gumbo of a thriller. It doesn't hold together as well as Raimi's earlier A Simple Plan, but the two films are stylistically connected--The Gift was cowritten (with Tom Epperson) by A Simple Plan's costar, Billy Bob Thornton, who in turn draws from the Deep South milieu that informed his own Sling Blade and his earlier collaboration with Epperson, One False Move. A similar sense of mystery permeates The Gift, in which a small-town Georgia psychic (perfectly played by Cate Blanchett) is tormented by tragic loss and visions connected to the murder of a local vamp (Katie Holmes) whose schoolteacher fiancé (Greg Kinnear) is a prime suspect.
Other suspects include a hot-tempered bully (Keanu Reeves) whose battered wife (Hilary Swank) is one of the psychic's regular clients, and a traumatized local (Giovanni Ribisi) who is tenuously stabilized by therapy and antidepressants. While this trio of potential killers keeps the mystery alive, the requisite red herrings don't add much to the film's low-level suspense. Instead, Raimi is far more effective in creating an atmosphere of anxious dread that wells up from each of these finely drawn characters, starting with the widow psychic's extended mourning for her lost husband, the agonized terror of a beaten wife, and the percolating anger of a cuckolded spouse. All of this makes The Gift a worthy showcase for its esteemed cast, even as its plot twists grow increasingly familiar. --Jeff Shannon

You can admire Abandon more for what it attempts, as opposed to what it actually achieves. Making his directorial debut after winning an OscarŽ for scripting Traffic, screenwriter Stephen Gaghan emphasizes character dynamics and time-shifting structure over action and plotting, and the results are intelligent but oddly detached. As a recovering alcoholic detective (Benjamin Bratt) is assigned to reopen the two-year-old disappearance of an arrogant college student, we're drawn into the thoughts and emotions of the missing person's former girlfriend (Katie Holmes), whose behavior--especially when her volatile ex-boyfriend suddenly reappears--is key to the slowly unfolding mystery. Abandon is all about mood and atmosphere--shadowy gloom is dominant throughout--and viewers may grow impatient as the tissue-thin plot leads to an anticlimactic revelation. Still, Gaghan's sharp dialogue draws fine work from Holmes, and his supporting cast (especially Zooey Deschanel and Melanie Lynskey, as fellow students) adds much-needed energy on the fringes of this lugubrious psychological thriller. --Jeff Shannon

• Why So Serious?
Am not one to rave about a superhero movie but this definitely gets two thumbs up! Worth the money paid for to watch it & more. You can't possibly compare this sequel to any other sequels because this is by far THE best movie sequel ever! Heath Ledger not only played The Joker, he brought it to life. He's insanely sick & bloody psychotic! That's what made it so great. No identity. No DNA. No fingerprints. His evil schemes are incomprehensible. His victims are shot in the head, stuffed
• Shear Genius 7/23 Recap: Wigging Out
(Registered members may comment here.) Ah, here we are again! It's time for another trip to the salon... the salon where you could end up looking like Wilma Flintstone or a drag queen....as if there's much of a difference. Maybe I'm alone in this, but I think I spend way too much time wondering where the producers of Shear Genius find people willing to have their hair butchered on broadcast cable TV. You'd have to pay me a lot of money. A LOT. With my luck, I'd end up in the middle of a chall
• Katie Holmes Boys It Up
Katie Holmes is starting to look more and more like a boy version of Victoria Beckham. Especially when she?s not wearing a dress. When she is wearing a dress, then she looks more like a boy version of Victoria Beckham in drags. Either way, she still remains the President of the Unfeminine Chicks Club. Here?s Katie in Hollywood earlier today:
• This Is The Dumbest Review I?ve Ever Seen And I?ve Not Seen The Movie Yet
Someone captured the video of Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith on First Take debating how good The Dark Knight was, and Fire Joe Morgan has it, along with some notes. Now, I?m going to go see it either tomorrow or the day after ? but despite the possibility that Maggie Gyllenhaal sucks in this movie (Katie Holmes was a waste of space in Batman Begins, but that?s half her fault and half the nature of the film ? the ?tail? parts in superhero movies are rarely ever more than one-dimensional) ?
• Yes, yes, Rocky Horror remake
Okay, look, there's pretty much exactly one way wherein the whole Rocky Horror Picture Show remake idea gets interesting: an all-Scientology cast. Honestly. Okay, maybe not honestly, but I think the idea has a couple of lulz. What's your cast? Personally, I'd nominate:John Travolta as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Sure, sure, it's easy, but the decay will make him terrifying, and he's got experience in drag. Also, he's played a transvestite in film. (I know, I know, too easy...) Katie Holmes as Janet Weis
