Although his visual presentation of the film shows that he has some promise as a director, it is all too clear that Duchovny’s creative talents do not include screenwriting. The extent to which this story fails to achieve any sort of verisimilitude is positively mind-boggling...
...some extent the chairman's job is what its occupant chooses to make of it, and few doubt that the Kentucky-born Crowe, 60, will choose an activist role.

Most cartel decisions have been by consensus, with the member nations at least presenting the appearance of a united front. No such accord could be reached last week. Instead, OPEC was forced to abide by majority rule, with Libya, Iran and Algeria going on record as opposed to the price cut. Nonetheless OPEC tried to look...
