...both 13, who currently star in their own show on the Disney Channel and also appeared on the sitcom Friends. The new brand, D.C. Sprouse, hangs on the twins' cuteness and likability and will include DVD movies, CDs, clothing, sports gear and video games to appeal to the tween-boy audience. "They're real boy boys," says an Olsen rep of the Sprouses. "They like skating, sports, all of that." O.K., but if you want to know what boys are really into, here's a tip: try girls...
...abruptly. Arly and Will are two reprobate Confederate soldiers who adopt different colors, blue or gray, as the rules of survival require. Pearl is a half-caste slave girl shrewdly contemplating the horizons of her new freedom while serving for a while in the disguise of a Union drummer boy. Her former mistress Mattie Jameson is now a grief-crazed Confederate widow swept along with Sherman's forces. The far better-composed Emily Thompson, the daughter of a Georgia judge, rediscovers herself as a Union battlefield nurse while falling pointlessly in love with the coldly brilliant field surgeon Wrede Sartorius...
American gun love has long preoccupied and puzzled foreigners. So it's appropriate that an all-fired-up allegory on the subject, Dear Wendy, should come from perennial bad boy Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier (Breaking the Waves), who wrote the film, and his protégé Thomas Vinterberg (The Celebration), who directed.

Idealistic oceanographer Laura Daughtery (Lake Bell) bumps into a mystery beast during a deep-sea bathysphere dive. A boy (Carter Jenkins) finds a translucent egg on the beach and puts it in his aquarium, not knowing it's sea-monster caviar. And there's a government plot to hide the truth, led by a scientist (Rade Sherbedgia) with a Dracula accent. (Because, of course, real Americans don't do cover...
...series hopscotches to so many locations (the Carolinas, the Antarctic, the ocean trenches) that you briefly forget that it gives you no reason to feel afraid or intrigued or anything else. It does aim, clumsily, at a sense of wonder, with so much faux Spielberg--a boy hiding a creature in his house, à la E.T.; an average guy who becomes obsessed with the secret, à la Close Encounters--that NBC might as well have called this Jaws: The Series. Instead it was called Fathom, then renamed the equally limp Surface. Now people can't say, "I cannot fathom...
