When Rotten Tomatoes interviewed filmmaker Werner Herzog on his 2006 film "Rescue Dawn" -- a fictional remake of his documentary "Little Dieter Needs to Fly" -- interviewer Rich Cline asked how lead actor Christian Bale was suited to playing his role. Herzog's answer was blunt and frank: "He's the best of his generation."
Bale had been acting since he was a boy, having broken out at the age of 13 in Steven Spielberg's 1987 film "Empire of the Sun." He appeared in several '90s slumber party staples -- "Newsies," "Swing Kids," "Little Women," "Velvet Goldmine" -- as well as a pile of notable horror and genre films...

There’s a new theater in town! When I first heard that my favorite St. Louis movie house, The Hi-Pointe, was adding a second screen, I was concerned that they were going to cut their magnificent 450-seat movie palace in half to accommodate a second screen to stay competitive with the multiplexes. The Hi-Pointe, opened in 1922, is the oldest operating theater in the Missouri portion of the St. Louis area and the only single screener. Thankfully, my fears were put to rest when I found out that The Hi-Pointe Backlot, their new satellite theater, is located on the second floor of a building behind the main Hi-Pointe (1005 McCausland Ave.in St. Louis) and that the big theater still has all of its seats. This is exciting! The Hi-Pointe Backlot, which seats 50, opens this Friday, May 1st.
So what movie did they choose to inaugurate this grand opening? …….a documentary about the fashion industry!

Man on Wire
Featuring Philippe Petit, Paul McGill, and Annie Allix
Directed by James Marsh
Rated PG-13
1974 had already been marked by Hank Aaron's record-breaking swing, terrorist bombings in Northern Ireland, a coup d'etat in Cyprus, Vietnam, and the Watergate scandal. Within two weeks after Philippe Petit, the world would see Nixon's resignation, the botched assassination attempt of the South Korean President that killed his first lady, Evel Knievel's doomed Snake Canyon jump, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the Rumble in the Jungle.
But for 45 minutes on August 7th, Philippe Petit stopped the world for one morning and forced everyone in it to look up. Perched about a quarter-mile in the air, Petit delicately walked a high wire between the two towers of the World Trade Center.
He did it because it's what he did. Petit had previously scaled much smaller local landmarks throughout Europe and even in Australia,...
