...them when they were filming Knocked Up. We had some friends in common and I was invited out to the set. I watched their manner of working, which I was inspired by and found quite similar to my own style of filmmaking. I love the collaborative process of making movies, which is undermined when directors take all the credit for a film. To me the true enjoyment of it is working with great people. I started making movies in film school, and you work with people who are hungry and have an appetite for education, so everyone looks to everyone...

Last year, for example, when South Africa's Commissioner of Police and loyal Mbeki supporter Jackie Selebi was facing prosecution over...
...believe the move had come in response to U.S. pressure. "Failed coup against ISI was to appease U.S.," read one local headline. "They wanted to please Washington," said former spymaster Gul. "It misfired and became a boomerang to hurt them." The PPP did not help its case by the manner in which it proceeded. Neither the parliament nor the coalition's junior partners were consulted. And in choosing to cede control of the ISI to Rehman Malik, the effective Minister of Interior, instead of tightening his own grip, Gilani was left looking weak...
