Almost five years after premiering as the opening-night selection of the 2009 Zurich Film Festival, Alain Gsponer's Lila Lila is at last receiving theatrical exposure in the U.S. Judging by the mild but hardly noteworthy competence of the film itself, this development seems largely attributable to the fast-rising stock of German star Daniel Brühl, who has made a stateside splash in Inglourious Basterds, The Fifth Estate, and Ron Howard's Rush.

Adapted from a best-seller by Swiss author Martin Suter, Lila, Lila concerns David Kern (Brühl), a lonely waiter who concocts an enormous lie in order to woo the object of his affection, Marie (Hannah Herzsprung). After purchasing a night stand at a flea market, David finds a manuscript in the top ...

To date, The Legend of Hercules...

It could be a plot from one of his feelgood movies. Against a snowy London backdrop, something perennially ignored and unloved finds the attention it craves against all odds. Only this time, director Richard Curtis is hoping to sprinkle his stardust on an arcane bank tax rather than a lovelorn English fop.

Harnessing YouTube, Facebook and celebrity endorsements, Curtis has taken what was once regarded as a naive pipedream to tax a slice of every financial trade and given it a makeover. The Tobin Tax, named after the American...
