...year his best friend has been the stately gentleman sitting quietly in the living room wearing a starched white shirt, gray suit and cowboy boots. He is lawyer R. Eugene Pincham, 73. The kid, overwhelmed of late with so many new names and faces to remember, refers to his pal and counsel simply as the black Power Ranger...
...vagabonding Isa (Elodie Bouchez) meets Marie (Natacha Regnier) on an assembly line in Lille. It's hard work. But friendship is a tougher job, as this haunting first feature proves. Isa is defiantly sunny, her pal severe, volcanic. Isa tries awful things (like a job handing out flyers on rollerskates) because, hey, they could be "tres cool"; Marie endures awful things (like an affair with a bourgie creep) to confirm her dour view of the world. The stars shared the Best Actress prize at Cannes last year, and both are brilliant. But Bouchez's expressive face lets you speed-read...
...only concession the Senate made was to allow managers to use the videotaped depositions of Lewinsky, Clinton pal Vernon Jordan and White House aide Sidney Blumenthal in a special session last Saturday.

...Eddie (Sean Penn), the casting director who has spent enough years in therapy to diagnose his own longing for female love and yet has learned sufficiently little from his expensive vocabulary to chase his analysis with a request for a blow job. There's Artie (Garry Shandling), Eddie's pal who possesses the almost laudable ability to ignore decades of feminist screaming and offer his friend the sexy runaway (young Oscar-winner Anna Paquin) he's found in an elevator as a `pet.' There's Mickey (Kevin Spacey), Eddie's best friend, whose overtreated platinum blond hair is a testament...
