Kilmer: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Four Seasons. [Motions to RDJ as he enters the room] Robert Downey, Jr. If there was something that you liked in the film, I wrote it.

I read a lot of books about film, but my favorite ones are always about the business itself. I am fascinated by the wheeling, dealing and backstabbing that is part of getting a movie made.

If you leave the director part off and accept his acting for what it is, the guy is pretty good and has, on occasion, starred in some terrific and underloved movies – Thirteen … Continue reading

Chiwetel Ejiofor is having a hell of a year for a guy whose name is Chiwetel Ejiofor. I mean, back in the day he would have changed his monicker to something like Chuck Eiger. But in 2005 he was able to keep his name and still be one of the leads in Woody Allen’s Melinda … Continue reading
