...perhaps more ambivalent about his work than he dares to admit. The latter is bustling, voluble and perhaps more sympathetic toward Strike--with everyone trying to survive in this milieu--than he cares to admit. Clockers is careful not to overexplain these figures. Director Spike Lee, who shares screenplay credit with novelist Richard Price, lets Phifer (in his first film role) and Keitel (in his umpty-umpth) find the characters, which they do with unimprovable unpredictability...
McKinny has said she and Fuhrman first met by chance at Alice's Restaurant in Los Angeles in 1985. When he learned that she was working on a screenplay about the force, he offered his help as a technical adviser who would receive payment only if the script was bought. Over the course of the next nine years, McKinny told PrimeTime Live, she would send him questions and they would then get together to discuss them. "She is the kind of person who feels she needs to live her stories," says someone who was close to McKinny." She just would...
...after months of testimony in which the defense has tried to blame sloppy police work and evidence planting for the mountains of blood-soaked evidence against their client, it may have another tough fight ahead.

...harmony stemmed from several sources, the first of which was Richard LaGravenese's screenplay, which silenced the doubts of both stars not by adding to the book but by gently pruning and slightly reshaping it. Eastwood's confidence in his role helped too; he didn't have to waste a lot of energy looking for his character. "I've been that guy," he said of Kincaid a few days before he set out to make the movie. He was referring to a detached and wandering period in his young manhood, "years of being lost" on the American back roads, unable...
...aesthetic of the male knee being a matter far too subtle for a mere movie reviewer to contemplate, he is left with broader, possibly less relevant, judgments to pass. Chief among them is this: Braveheart is too much, too late. Gibson, who directs himself in Randall Wallace's screenplay, starts with certain disadvantages vis-e-vis Rob Roy: Sir Walter Scott never wrote a novel about William Wallace, and no one named a cocktail after him either. Got a real name-recognition problem here. Got a real length problem too. Braveheart runs almost three hours, and though it's full...
