...believe he's a killer. But that brings us to the movie's central problem: a lack of alternative suspects. Rowena's needy, nerdy computer geek assistant (Giovanni Ribisi) is weird enough, but too obvious. Hill's wife is a vague possibility, but doesn't get enough screen time to be taken seriously. How the screenwriter, Todd Komarnicki, and the director, James Foley, resolve this problem is a genre travesty and an affront to their star...
Halle Berry is, in my opinion, the most beautiful woman in the world. There is an easy, entirely unthreatening sexuality about her, as well as a certain vulnerability on screen that enlists the male viewer's protective impulse. Someone this attractive does not deserve to be as hard-used as she often...

There is nothing more boring than movies that spend a lot of time focusing on a computer screen as characters exchange typed-out sexual innuendoes.

For that aspect of the story, Rowena gets a job in Hill's agency, which permits her to wear swell clothes...

A new plan, drawn up by U.S. Army general Keith Dayton, envisages installing the same X-ray machines used to screen trucks at U.S. borders at Karni. By allowing up to 400 commercial trucks to pass from Gaza to Israel each day, the U.S. hopes to stimulate the Palestinian economy...
...kamikaze lie will be given a new lease on life next month when a new movie, I Go to Die For You, takes romanticization of the kamikaze to the big screen. It was written by Shintaro Ishihara, the governor of Tokyo and one of Japan's most nationalistic politicians. That such a film would play in the mainstream and be made with technical support from today's Japanese military, which you'd think would steer clear of this particular subject, will be grist for the mill to those warning of a rise in "dangerous" nationalism in Japan...
