...Mangold, "carving out trails between sacred burial grounds and monuments. Now the environment is so protected in these national parks that we had 350 rangers watching every move if we step on one indigenous plant." Hollywood has also lost its teeming cavalry of saddle-up stars and stuntmen. Peter Fonda, who directed the fine western The Hired Hand in the 1970s and appears in the new Yuma, recalls that before shooting began, "they had what's called cowboy camp. A lot of the younger actors hadn't shot a pistol, didn't know how to ride horse. You know...
...redemption in his son's eyes, by escorting the killer Ben Wade (Crowe) to justice. Screenwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas have opened up the action to include a trek in which Wade outsmarts or just kills most of his captors; and there are prime supporting roles for Fonda as a no-illusions bounty hunter and for Ben Foster, who's deliciously pernicious as a kill-crazy kid.

If there had been evidence of someone breaking the law, it was the FBI's problem. And if the FBI didn't have enough authority to open an investigation, then a President can always go to Congress and ask for stricter laws. Britain's Official Secrets Act, for instance, has kept Britain's secrets off the front pages of its newspapers. Any journalist who knowingly publishes a secret goes to jail. Harsh, but better than making...
...After I called her down for her behavior, she shaped up," says Robinson. In part, he credits the family-like atmosphere created by director Garry Marshall and co-stars Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman. "She felt loved, important." But when filming ended, so did the ad hoc family, and Lohan, whose real parents occasionally pop up in mug shots (Dad) and red carpet events (Mom), resumed partying...
