...offer: Live rent-free for the summer on 64-acre Seguin Island off the coast of Maine. And for a small stipend, give tours of the historic lighthouse, work at the small store and museum attached to the lighthouse, and keep a daily log of the sunset, sunrise and tides. For retirees Michael Brzoza, 51, and his wife Marilyn Lucey, 60, it was irresistible. "We loved the idea of living on a beautiful island 2� miles out to sea," says Lucey, a former toy designer.

He has made six movies in the past five years, plus that unaired pilot and three anti-Bush ads for MoveOn.org Sure, he seems like Small Budget Indie Guy, wearing shorts and making phone calls to set up a little shoot at a bookstore for a 12-year-long project he's hoping to turn...
They have judged their material well. Fast Eddie is not a man going gentle into his sunset years. His shrewdness has been tempered but not dulled by time, and now he is in need of a workout. The first time Eddie sees Vincent and his girlfriend (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, fascinating as a young woman who wants to be as tough as she talks), he senses they can provide a challenge...
