...would you like to fall down a tunnel, land inside actor John Malkovich's body for 15 minutes, then be dumped next to the New Jersey Turnpike--all for $200 (tolls included). That's the weird, beguiling premise of writer Charlie Kaufman's absurdist romance. Jonze, a music-video whiz and an actor (Three Kings), has the vexing habit of forcing his attractive stars (John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Keener) to deliver their big scenes through clumps of matted hair. But he keeps the wheels spinning on this funny-peculiar story of people so desperate that they would...

"We feel like we've only scratched the surface in Europe," says Coke spokeswoman Susan McDermott. Equity Management, the largest U.S. licensing...
...enunciates well and the accompaniment never overpowers his voice, so you can enjoy his entertainingly cynical lyrics with a libertarian slant later in the album. The guy clearly disdains the government; his boyish wails amid spoken commentary in "My Own God," "Love Is a Muscle" and "Lie of the Land" will elicit either sympathy or smirks, depending on your circle. Heck, how else should you react to words like "kill all the stupid people" or "underarm deodorant spray?" The tonal effects are occasionally weird, but most have been done, like the pseudo-chorale in "Build a Machine." Take it tongue...
