...Tale of Two Romneys": It sounds as if Mitt Romney has us all confused as to who the real Mitt is [Jan. 14]. I only hope it's bad advice from incompetent advisers and not the man himself. As a Democrat-leaning independent, I was willing to overlook Romney's Republican ways because of what he accomplished in private business, with the Utah Olympics and as governor of Massachusetts.

Ultimately, I think you'll laugh a lot at what he has wrought here - but only well after the movie is over and the full scale of its perversity...
...look for the hopeful parts,” the self-proclaimed optimist said.“I like to look at the more hopeless parts,” Deutch responded dryly. He pointed to studios’ growing reliance on the bottom line, which he said caused them to overlook seminal films in favor of blockbusters. He said of the climate when he started directing, “If you made a cool movie, you had a career. The Friday night it opened was not about how much money it made, it was about what the reviews were, whether...
