... 'Boeing-Boeing' to end run - Gotham: Broadway revival to shutter Jan. 4 -- The Broadway revival of "Boeing-Boeing" will shutter Jan. 4 after a run of just over nine months.
... Leverage - TV Reviews: Spiritually indebted to "Mission: Impossible" and to a lesser degree "The Sting," "Leverage" seeks to revive the '70s-style caper, as a crack squad of crooks mounts fabulously elaborate scams -- targeting unfeeling corporations and corrupt tycoons. That gives the series a timely Robin Hood streak, but, aside from an easygoing quality and mild comic flair, there's not much here to steal the hearts of viewers; instead, it's another modest, lightweight addition to TNT's diner-style menu of comfort food for a weary nation.
... Flirting w/ Forty - TV Reviews: "Flirting w/ Forty" is really just "How Jackie Got Her Groove Back," but it's a frothy girls night in of the "I am cougar: Hear me purr" variety -- one that should seduce a femme audience hungry for white-sand beaches and well-toned abs.
... Punisher: War Zone - Film Reviews: Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, was last seen in 2004 unleashing his inner homicidal maniac on the mobsters who killed his wife and children.

... The Family Reunion - Legit Reviews: It was theatrically groundbreaking and gave the world T.S. Eliot's take on the Heaviside Layer, but "Cats" it most certainly was not. In plot terms, the poet's 1939 verse-drama "The Family Reunion" totally lives up to its title, but that's the only straightforward thing about this slippery study of guilt and responsibility.
... The Arabian Nights - Legit Reviews: First devised during the Gulf War 16 years ago, Mary Zimmerman's revived "The Arabian Nights" arrives at another moment when some positive appreciation of Islam and the Arabic world is particularly welcome.

... CNN Presents: Scream Bloody Murder - TV Reviews: Drawing frequently from her own reporting over a quarter-century at CNN, Christiane Amanpour's sobering look at the modern history of genocide is a kind of "worst-of" collection -- a stark reminder of how lack of political will has repeatedly allowed acts of "unchecked evil."
... Shatner's Raw Nerve - TV Reviews: William Shatner is such a larger-than-life personality that it's understandable why A&E's Bio (formerly known as the Biography Channel) -- clearly eager to keep its original programming expenditures below off-Broadway levels -- would simply throw him in front of a camera and pray for the best.
... Cadillac Records - Film Reviews: Approaching the blues with the enthusiasm of an overcaffeinated brass band, helmer Darnell Martin nonetheless makes some kind of music with the percolating '50s biopic "Cadillac Records" -- mostly because she mines a righteous, mythic sensibility out of the story of Leonard Chess, Muddy Waters and the birth of the Chicago blues.

... Bolt - Film Reviews: An "Incredible Journey" or "Homeward Bound" updated for the superhero era, "Bolt" is an OK Disney animated entry enhanced by nifty 3-D projection. The first inhouse feature from Disney Animation since Pixar guru John Lasseter took over the studio's creative reins, this tale of a canine forced to overcome his superdog complex and learn to become a regular pooch bears some telltale signs of Pixar's trademark smarts, but still looks like a mutt compared to the younger company's customary purebreds. While punchy enough to keep parents amused, pic will probably play best to small fry and, especially with Disney star Miley Cyrus onboard, will have no trouble chasing down hefty biz through the holidays.
... City of Ember - Film Reviews: A fabulously designed underground metropolis proves more involving than the teenagers running through its streets in "City of Ember," a good-looking but no more than serviceable adaptation of Jeanne Duprau's 2003 novel.
... W. - Film Reviews: Oliver Stone?s unusual and inescapably interesting ?W.? feels like a rough draft of a film it might behoove him to remake in 10 or 15 years.
