...course. Death is often messy and interminable--which is also a pretty good description of Meet Joe Black, in which Death with a big D takes over the body of Brad Pitt so that he can have beautifully lit sex with Anthony Hopkins' soulful daughter (Claire Forlani). The film, released last week, is similar in theme to last spring's modest hit City of Angels, in which Nicolas Cage, playing an angel who escorts people to heaven, decides to become mortal himself so that he can have beautifully lit sex with heart surgeon Meg Ryan--and you have to admire...
...borrow a phrase (and a pseudonym), meet Joe Black, as played by Brad Pitt, who has a real gift for standing around looking cute and stupid. He appears, along with chest pains and some numbness in the left arm, at an inconvenient moment in the life of an even more unlikely figure--a media mogul with a conscience--named William Parrish (Anthony Hopkins). Parrish is fighting off a takeover bid from a less savory rival and grouchily submitting to having his 65th birthday celebrated at one of those parties of the century that seem to occur once a month...
Brest thinks he needs three endless hours to turn Death into a glam and fully cuddlesome character. And as we watch his movie (a remake of 1934's blessedly brief Death Takes a Holiday, in which Fredric March played the title role) slowly disappear into the blond hole of Pitt's affectlessness, we have plenty of time to observe just how profoundly he has misconceived Death.

...writer can give--an image-rich setting. Couched in the velvet, vibrance and vixens of medieval Constantinople and Venice, Armand continues the vampire exposition that began with Interview with the Vampire. Figuring to a small degree in Interview (whose later film spawned my eighth-grade obsession with Brad Pitt) was Armand, the head of the Paris coven of vampires. How was it that Armand rose to such otherworldly prominence? Armand relates its title character's rise from slavery to vampirism under the tutelage of Marius, a beautiful and seemingly omnipotent predator long in the business of the undead. In both...
