Capturing that feeling and conveying it over the airwaves to the broader public is the job of Bush's unusual media team. Led by McKinnon, a lapsed Democrat and former guitar picker who in his youth hung out with Kris Kristofferson, the bunch includes veteran G.O.P. adman Stuart Stevens, who doubles as a successful novelist, travel and TV-script writer, and a cadre of Madison Avenue advertising whizzes who call themselves the Park Avenue Posse...
...cheapness of digital video allowed Ethan Hawke to shoot The Last Word on Paradise, a feature starring his bankable buddies Uma Thurman, Marisa Tomei, Kris Kristofferson, Steve Zahn and Robert Sean Leonard. He calls it the best creative experience of his career, which may not sound like much, but his excitement is very convincing. "There's no excuse for young filmmakers not to make a movie. Anyone can make a movie the way anyone can sculpt or write a book or paint," he says. "The James Joyces have not yet begun to work on film because they...
...South Carolina, showcase McKinnon's fondness for retro black-and-white footage and jittery, MTV-style editing. McKinnon took an unconventional path to his current job: as a teenager, he ran away to Nashville, Tenn., with dreams of becoming a country-music star; he wrote songs under Kris Kristofferson's tutelage and almost had one of his numbers recorded by Elvis Presley.

Trust acting command- er Alex Michaels (Scott Bakula, left) to get to the bottom of it all. After a choppy start, the multiple storylines of Netforce rev up smoothly, coalesce and--with a couple of neat twists--hit the finish line grandly...
Paris is for lovers. Why, in the 1960s, a girl could even love her genially alcoholic writer dad (Kris Kristofferson). Based on the memoirish novel by James Jones' daughter Kaylie, this beautifully observed film is a domestic epic in miniature: of precocious kids and stern teachers, of maids and their amours, of complex friendships ended by fate's whim. In an exemplary cast the standouts are Luisa Conlon and Leelee Sobieski as the daughter at seven and 14, and Anthony Roth Costanza as her brilliantly effeminate best friend. The Merchant-Ivory attention to period detail often seems like the movie...
