Fueled by David Mamet's  infernal dialogue machine and by a spectacular tour de force  from Alicia Silverstone (in the role created by Madonna on  Broadway in 1988), the 100 fast-paced minutes of  "Speed-the-Plow" have the audience snickering and roaring as  Mamet pillories the pretensions and manipulations of Hollywood  middle managerial types.

The naughty new puppet action-musical from the creators of "South Park" is more satisfying as a straight-ahead blow 'em up than as a satire.

Bill Hader has built a rÃ©sumÃ© founded as much on his geeky, rarefied pop-cultural tastes as on his ability to portray peculiar characters.
