...This young actor, who was equally persuasive in Roger Dodger and The Squid and the Whale, has the edge on Cera in terms of range. When Eisenberg narrows his eyes, thrusts his chin forward and huffs, we're not sure if he's a bona fide jerk or not, whereas Cera is always a smart-mouthed sweetie pie. But in that moment of James' degradation, in his acceptance of the humbling Games uniform, he magically transforms into a guy we could see spending the summer with...
...part of Baron Cohen's appeal is his desire to push the envelope, and then burn it. He wants his fans to consider if his work is revelatory or predatory, and to ask, just a little, "Is he nuts?"

...Shrek. Since then, Katzenberg's homegrown product has been shut out (the studio distributed Nick Park's veddy English Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit), while Pixar has won four: Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille and WALL-E.

"Star Trek, Roots and Reading Rainbow had great cultural impact and inspire great fondness in people," he explains. "I don't have the type of fans who come up to me and want to put a cigarette...
...nothing worked. "Because of the attitude of the government, that they are not ready to spare security forces for the cricket tournament ... We are forced to take the decision to move the event out of India," BCCI president Shashank Manohar told the media in Mumbai on Sunday. Bollywood superstar actor Shah Rukh Khan, who owns Team Kolkata and was part of the IPL governing council meeting where the decision was taken, was more magnanimous: "We need to respect the general elections, they are much bigger than our issue. This is an attempt to resolve our problems [rather] than create more...
