...Your way, my Lord. All my enemies have run away. You have defended me." The harmony is searing, deep and silencing. And like a Pavlovian experiment, it has a spectacular and irresistible ability to crumple stern brows and send tears tumbling down cheeks. Around the set, stubbly grips and butch riggers snap on sunglasses. We journalists try not to look each other in the eye. The cast, seasoned professionals, use it for motivation and spend the day blubbing like children. We all know there is a reason why the mourning is so practiced. Botswana has one of the highest HIV/AIDS...
...need to be butch! Butcher and more intense." That's darned good advice for an NFL lineman, a carjacker ... or an action-movie star forced to start filming while awaiting pivotal script pages. It was Paul Greengrass's direction for Matt Damon when they commenced shooting this summer's globe-galloping thriller The Bourne Ultimatum without a finished screenplay.

Unfortunately, the film’s mixture of soul-searching angst and renegade idealism creates more melancholy than comedy...
...Jimmy might be a kind of blond Boitano, while Chazz is from the butch, Elvis Stojko school. But the enmity is surely a gender-bending version of the 1994 feud between Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. In the movie, skating's criminal underside is personified by Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg, a borderline-incestuous brother-sister pair whose long-skate routine has the theme "Forbidden Love," with Stranz skating as JFK and Fairchild as Marilyn Monroe. Arnett and Poehler's turn doesn't quite match Baron Cohen's as the French driver in Talladega, but Arnett gets points for smarming...
