...feature for the first time in The Replacement Killers (another Chow performance) had only commercial and music video directing credits before taking the helm of a full feature length film. The result was high-gloss and largely empty cinema, concentrating largely on impressive visuals but yielding flat and dull content -- which brings us to Andy Tennant. This is not his first film, and I dare say it won't be his last, but his previous efforts have been for the most part rather uninspiring. Ever After, his most recent work, had all the costumes, pomp and circumstance that you could...

...avoid the premature beer belly, Matty the bartender advises to stick to light beer, vodka and whiskey. The healthiest drink is the vodka tonic. As for the hard Cider/Beer debate, keep in mind that cider has those sugar calories that beer doesn't, but cider has twice the alcohol content and will get you wicked hammered twice as fast. As for the Grille's munchies, they are surprisingly not that bad for you. All fried items are cooked in low-fat canola oil. Chicken is boneless and skinless, and the burgers are relatively lean...

...pretty much a standard sequel. The October cover story is about Liz Taylor. Not quite as thrilling as the September Hillary story. And George Pataki doesn't grab the reader's attention as much as George W. (What is this, the Governor of the Month feature?) And so the content will never be the same as the initial issue. Whatever buzz is left will die down very soon...
