It's good to be 'King'

Michael Douglas reminds us what a fine actor he can be in the witty fable "King of California." Writing the review proved a challenge, given the movie's improbable stretches, but sometimes you gotta go with how a movie makes you feel. And I wasn't happy to let these characters go. Douglas will get most of the headlines here, and deservedly so, but what a fine performer young Evan Rachel Wood is turning out to be. An early review tore into her turn as Douglas's daughter, but I found her work here darn near mesmerizing.
