...average SAG members earns only $5,000 a year In the nick of time, like the delivery boy in a Domino's Pizza spot, star quality arrived. Jay Leno donated $10,000 to a SAG strike fund, and soon Kevin Spacey, Harrison Ford, Nicolas Cage, George Clooney and Helen Hunt had ponied up amounts of from $10,000 to $200,000. Now that famous faces were attached to celebrities, the media woke up to the strike. So did some of the citizenry: a 16-year-old boy, who saw Richard Dreyfuss present the union view of the strike on Rosie...
...ever little. In 1994 the millionaire athletes of major league baseball went on strike for themselves - not to help their blue-collar brethren in the minors. So, whatever the resolution of the SAG strike, there's something sweet in the spectacle of stars of the wattage of Cage and Hunt and Spacey helping actors whose one golden goal is to display their art, and make a few bucks, holding a bottle of mouthwash. It's like the chef of a four-star restaurant linking arms with the french-fry guy at McDonald's. But as Pierce notes, "All actors, whether...
...effortless,' however, doesn't apply to Tom Cruise. Cruise isn't a natural - every one of his pained, constipated expressions reflects his inability to just go with the flow. In a movie like Jerry Maguire, the effort pays off because the part requires unbounded earnestness. The role of Ethan Hunt in MI2 demands just the opposite - a casual aloofness, a confident grace that Cruise can't muster regardless of how hard he tries. Everything else in MI2 doesn't help to conceal his shortcomings. Woo's schtick is growing tired, Thandie Newton just barely survived one of the most thankless...
...wrote Chinatown for God's sake, was apparently uninspired to do anything more with the screenplay than rip off Notorious and throw in a limp virus thriller. Then you can blame Tom Cruise, who, despite his rogue's haircut, is stuck in extra-bland mode as superagent Ethan Hunt (when the Cruise mask is ripped off in the opening sequence, I was praying Chow Yun-Fat and his charisma would be underneath). And how did a television show that always revolved around the 'team' concept become the Tom Cruise vanity show anyway? By the time Woo is finally allowed...
...Jersey, animal-rights groups are seeking a court injunction against the bear hunt. Last summer Governor Christine Todd Whitman pressured the state's fish and game council to reduce its target from 350 to 175. Instead of a hunt, foes argue, let the bears deplete their natural food supply, which would cause their numbers to drop--assuming, that is, they avoid the local Dairy Queen Dumpster. "Trophy hunting solves nothing," says Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the U.S. "People should bear-proof their garbage and close their windows while cooking...
