...last few years, graphic novels have become the acceptably trendy cousin of comic books. The film version of Daniel Clowes’ nastily funny suburban epic “Ghost World” charmed the beautiful people and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2000. Graphic novels have gradually eked out their own section in every Barnes and Noble, a corner that is filled to bursting with intrigued readers of every...

...true life of the movie exists not within, but rather around its central characters, in the supporting cast, strong soundtrack, and underlying messages. The minor characters are superb, including the idiosyncratic corporate executive Phil (Alec Baldwin), Drew’s grieving mother (Susan Sarandon), and his cousin Jesse (Paul Schneider), whose proudest moment was almost being the opening act on the side stage of a music festival that featured Lynyrd Skynyrd.Crowe’s films have always demonstrated an obsession with rock music (not surprisingly, “Elizabethtown”’s soundtrack is spectacular...

Three other second-generation drugs turned out to be no more effective than the old one, Trilanfon (perphenazine)-a cousin of the sledgehammers but with a somewhat better picture on side effects. As a matter of fact, by one measure, you're better off with the old drug: it costs about $45 a month, while the new ones cost $400 to $500 more...

...pulled his hands behind his neck, and went over the night out loud. In the cab ride, he had christened the various women he’d met with a series of pet names: Baby, for Erin, who wanted a baby, Spinny, for the bassist’s cousin, Jumpy, for the girl who jumped into him. At the Red Roof Inn, he repeated them again, like the names of stars in a newly discovered constellation. “Oh God,” Andrew had groaned two days earlier, when Matt told me how, lying on his back...
