No offense to any big monkeys, but CGI always looks best at home. The astonishing majesty of the American west that Ang Lee captures in Brokeback Mountain demands to be seen on the biggest possible screen. Lee is one of the great directors working today, and after a misstep with the murky and confused Hulk … Continue reading
I had never interviewed Jim Carrey before, but I was expecting a wild and crazy guy who would be funny in person, but whose transcript would be a mess (Robin Williams, I am looking at you). Instead we got a sedate and centered Jim Carrey, the kind of guy who talked about how peaceful his … Continue reading

The documentary will be based on Chris Mooney’s … Continue reading
For the first half of 2005 I was pretty convinced we were seeing a banner year for crapola.
