...shelter; find food, draw cave paintings, make fire. He will replicate the ascent of man, all by his lonesome. He'll be Robinson Crusoe without Friday, Gilligan without the crew, Survivor without all those annoying other survivors. Hanks has often played a decent man isolated - in his mind ("Forrest Gump"), his disease ("Philadelphia"), his bereavement ("Sleepless in Seattle") or outer space ("Apollo 13"). As Chuck, he finds his best, most resourceful self in isolation. So does William Broyles Jr.'s script; the 80 mins. it spends on the atoll alone with Hanks make for engrossing storytelling. The film is less...
...longer here to guide his work into other realms, and even the sharpest entertainers are finding the transition difficult. Before Universal's recent acquisition of The Cat in the Hat, it foundered under Steven Spielberg at DreamWorks, despite the efforts of Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth (Forrest Gump), who spent nearly a year composing a screenplay in rhyme. Seussical, the $10 million musical pastiche of several Seuss stories narrated by Seuss's Cat, has also had its share of bumps on the way to Broadway.

So you can imagine that I'm not a particularly big fan of the Oscars since they ignore brilliant movies like these in favor of drivel like Forrest Gump and The English Patient. But I actually feel bad for the Academy this year-what in the world can voters look forward to? There's no good movies on the horizon... I hate getting political, but the election is too close to call and I'm losing my temper. Instead...
...best Gore film was barely seen at all. It was created by Spike Jonze, the 29-year-old director of Being John Malkovich, a surreal movie about people getting inside a celebrity's head. No wonder it's a Gore favorite. (Bush's most recent favorite is Forrest Gump.) After using a handheld camera to shoot the Gores at their Tennessee farm and a North Carolina beach house, Jonze came up with a deftly cut montage of Gore kicking back and having fun. He makes Tipper blush by showing off the nude self-portrait she painted when pregnant with Karenna...
