Jack Black and Nicole Kidman rock out in two of this week's must-see picks

The Golden Globes air tonight, so if you want to brush up on your awards history then you won't want to miss Jack Black's hilarious, Golden Globes-nominated performance in 'School of Rock.'

But that's not the only movie making music this week. 'Moulin Rouge!,' the Baz Luhrmann musical starring Ewan McGregor and an Oscar-nominated Nicole Kidman, airs this Thursday.

There should be a moratorium on remakes. They rarely work, and in some cases, they are just ill-conceived from step one. That's how I feel about this news: they're remaking Ben-Hur as a television mini-series. I'm not saying this because actor Charlton Heston has just died and this was his movie and, therefore, it should be sacrosanct. No, not at all. If someone has the urge to remake almost any other Heston film -- Soylent Green, Diamond Head, The Pigeon That Took Rome -- go for it. But leave Ben-Hur alone. You'd think the disastrous remake of The Ten Commandments on ABC last year would have been a lesson. I guess not.
