...American soldiers in Iraq without flattening his characters into types or making his script implausible. There are ample comedic moments: ass jokes, an exploding cow, the presence of Marky Mark (who despite his accomplished acting in this film and Boogie Nights sadly will never outlive his Calvin Klein poster-boy image), but Russell integrates his comic touch into Three Kings in a way that makes the moments of absurdity the most revealing and saves the serious plot from the humorlessness of an Oliver Stone epic...
...Date, is a not-so-biblical parable of high school life, a caricature of how everyone remembers high school only when they are very far away from it. You can basically figure out the entire plot of Drive Me Crazy before it even begins. Popular girl (Hart) and rebel boy (Adrian Grenier) are neighbors. Popular girl wants popular boy. Rebel boy wants rebel girl. Popular girl and rebel boy feign coupledom (Can't Buy Me Love style) to make the ones that they only think they love absolutely smitten with jealously. Rather clever, eh? Of course you must factor...

In fact all of Frisbay's many instruments, including trombone, keyboards, flute and his crooning voice, punched up the intensity of this outstanding band.

...pasteurized crap. Simple as that. You get five numbskulls with seven-string guitars and fake dread-locks, and you know what, you've got a band? You put some goofy white boy in big baggy pants and take him out to the tattoo shop, you've got another band. You take two lazy fat-ass pieces of white trash from [lousy] Detroit and put clown makeup on them and you've got another band. It's not [really] music. I'm sorry, but you know what--I can get a seven string guitar, I can tune it down two steps...
...people at Talk were able to give themselves a pat on the back, and boy did they do so. The launch party for Talk took place Aug. 2 in New York City near the Statue of Liberty, and it was probably larger than the party thrown there when France gave Lady Liberty to the United States...
