Whoa, Mamma! Musical full of color, fun and charm
As colorful as a peacock feather and just about as insubstantial, “Mamma Mia!” bounces along on the music of ABBA and a cast of pros who sell like there’s no tomorrow. Yeah, the plot and characters are onion-skin thin, but you can’t help singing along. And in bringing her stage production to the screen, first-time film director Phyllida Lloyd has retained the show’s goofy charm and mostly ...

Review: A thrilling 'Dark Knight'
Even if "The Dark Knight" didn't represent Heath Ledger's swan song, it would mark a high point in the late actor's career.
