...patties onto croissants and tried to convince us that they were "French Rondelles?"...Okay, I think Christian Bale is a nice person and all, and I sort of see what Mary Harron was trying to do in casting him as the "psycho" in American Psycho, but why cast a Brit in a role that absolutely must be played by an American? Harron cast Jared Leto ("My So Called Life's" Jordan Catalano) in a lesser role, but he would have been a perfect Patrick Bateman...Denzel Washington doesn't deserve the Oscar for The Hurricane. The part is fabricated...
...novel, Richard is a mirror of his author: a 20-something Brit drifting toward a bright sea with dark eddies. And there was a little rancor when Ewan McGregor, the Scot who'd starred in Shallow Grave, Trainspotting and A Life Less Ordinary for Boyle and Hodge, lost the role of Richard to a $20 million golden boy from Hollywood. But the book and the film, for all their differences, have the same point to make. This is a story about how young people with the best intentions can turn a jungle paradise (like Vietnam) into a nightmare war zone...

Candidates were allotted one minute to answer an initial question posed by the moderators, Karen Brown, news director for New Hampshire's only network affiliate, WMUR; and Brit Hume, an anchor for the Fox News Channel. Another 45 seconds were allotted to respond to a follow-up question. Candidates were not allowed to respond to each other directly...
...cons--Harry the thief (Brit throb Jeremy Northam, doing a nice imitation of all four Baldwin brothers) and Wayne Wayne Wayne Jr., the career loser (appealingly whiny Steve Zahn)--have escaped from prison and landed in "the town without a frown." The camper they have stolen belonged to a couple of pageant producers, so Harry and Wayne must pretend to be gay men with an encyclopedic knowledge of show tunes and sewing as they prepare five avid little girls for the 18th annual Little Miss Fresh Squeeze Preteen Talent Competition. They are also expected to be the most sensitive guys...
