...viewers at least one thing they've never seen before: BRUCE WILLIS as a bad guy. In fact, Willis will be seen in lots of new guises, including a fat-suit, blond and ponytail wigs, fake noses and geeky glasses. And not one of his trademark Die Hard "Yippee-ki-yays" in earshot. According to the director, even the actor seemed thrown by his villainous new persona. "It slightly confused him a couple of times," says Michael Caton-Jones, who spent part of last week reshooting the end of the film. "We had to stop and talk it out." Whether...

The two countries are currently on the last legs of negotiations focusing on opening up North Korea's nuclear program to international inspectors. Lee Se-ki, chief policymaker of the governing Democratic Liberal Party in South Korea, said in a report to a party meeting that the U.S. has offered to wait five years before conducting a full inspection on its operations -- something that may anger Seoul. Both U.S. and North Korean officials refused comment...
...acknowledges a structural debt to Red River, but its spin is strictly Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel: sharply turned observations on contemporary angst blended with agreeable sentiments by Parenthood's writers. O.K., it would be nice if this film paused to sniff the locoweed, but director Ron Underwood yippee-ki-yos the yuppies quite smartly along a pretty fresh trail...
