...amber-skinned transvestite named Manny the Fanny gyrates to a dance-club hit while recalling her Krazy Glue revenge on an unfaithful boyfriend. A punchy Peruvian ex-boxer, pressed to name a famous Hispanic, searches the blank canvas of his mind. "William Shakesperez," he intones. "He wrote Macho Do About Nothing and The Merchant of Venezuela...
...years since women were integrated into the armed forces, that once all-male preserve has struggled to counter the macho image that long prevailed.

Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood have dominated movies for a quarter-century, but their latest pictures have played in empty theaters. Robert De Niro, the most admired actor in films, went a decade after The Deer Hunter (1978) without a hit. Then he appeared in three commercial successes: GoodFellas, Awakenings, Backdraft. When Bruce Willis flexed...
