...That something is not in the songs but in the singer. For years, Young's legion of fans has always loved the music but not necessarily the man. Now the chameleon-like Young--who has alternated among introspective folkie, protest rocker and reverb reveler--has morphed again, this time into something far friendlier. The rendition of the song Heart of Gold ("I want to live/ I want to give ...") feels as if it were written specifically for the film, not for 1972's Harvest.

...showing the Arabic numeral, the number written out and a brief description of the critter part being counted. As the numbers go up, the images tend to get more complex (16 catfish whiskers, 18 diamond markings on a rattlesnake), but even the simpler ones are ingenious, as in a chameleon's three colors blending into a tricolor scene.

...director, was urged to pursue Washington for the role of the hotel manager because snagging the star would mean instant funding. George says it took years to find backers, in part because he wanted Cheadle for the role. "I've watched him for years, and he just has this chameleon ability to disappear into a character, and that quality is exactly what I was looking for most," says George. The actor has made peace with the fact that directors love him more than producers do. "You have to be in something that makes a whole lot of money and have...
