...another. "I like people; I love life," he says. "Perhaps that is why life has loved me in return." At three hours-plus, this is the Shoah of movie-star chats. But it is worth every second if the viewer brings an imaginary glass of Chianti to this enthralling, poignant feast...
That tale consumed three enthralling hours a while back on Coast to Coast AM, the 5-hr.-a-night radio show devoted to all things weird and shepherded by Art Bell, a genial host shrouded, until recently, in his own poignant mystery. Photo "evidence" of the parchment-skinned ET can be seen on Bell's busy website www.artbell.com (44 million hits since January '97).

...likes her whiskey and her men aged 18--virtually every urban legend of teen porn can be found in this all-raunch, no-style sex comedy. Writer Adam Herz and the hot producer-director team of Chris and Paul Weitz occasionally hint that a teenager's most poignant groping is for his elusive identity. But don't expect this summer movie to have the huffing charm of Austin Powers or the tuneful brass of South Park. In its mix of caca and sex gags and woozy sentimentality, this is really Adam Sandler: The Next Generation...
