George H.W.'s daughter-in-law, the First Lady, has whispered to him that he might be watching too much television these days. But he is a captive of the news flow, and he knows it. He has moments, he says, when he would like to suit up, "get off the bench" and go back in the game. But when he is invited by President No. 43 to sit in on sensitive meetings, President No. 41 puts a special clamp on mind and mouth. Not his world, not his war. Though there are so many echoes from the past...
Other than the Back to the Future stuff, Glover seems normal. He wears a three-piece suit and tie just for the interview and is thoughtful, with a tremendous vocabulary. "I really had to concentrate hard for that part," he says of Willard. "It was lachrymal work, and I'm not a lachrymal person." Still, Glover's interests are pretty dark.

But while arrests stemming from the Bali investigation dented JI's operational capacities, bureaucratic wrangling continues to hamper efforts to disrupt its financial support...
...high-energy depiction of gang warfare in the titular Rio de Janeiro slum has been met with critical raves and comparisons to the mob pictures of Martin Scorsese. The protagonist, a young photographer named Rocket, succeeds in evading the gang lifestyle; his childhood friend fails to follow suit, instead succumbing to the temptations of crime and power. Dynamic, darkly funny and spitting electricity, City of God presents a strife-ridden world lurching towards destruction. City of God screens...
