More perilous still, we see Allen re-writing his tabloid sins at an age (he'll be 60 this year) when he looks like a pensive Rumpelstiltskin; boyish roguery ill suits him. In TV revivals of Broadway farces, he plays crabby geezers: the tourist with tsuris in Don't Drink the Water, a decrepit comic in a new version of The Sunshine Boys. Yet in his films Allen is the Woody of old--or, rather, of young. To Lenny, the raw, vibrant Linda makes Amanda seem stale and shrewish. Bonham Carter (who's a radiant 29 and certainly doesn...

In August, however, Carling said he intended to stick by Julia, his wife of 14 months. "She picked the wrong couple to do it with this time," Mrs. Carling said, "because we can only get stronger from it." Well, not exactly. The Rugby Union announced on Friday...
...homework paid off for Kidman. To Die For has won the 28-year-old Australian the most lustrous reviews of her career. Told in a blur of tabloid headlines, mockumentary interviews and dramatic reconstructions, the movie is the story of Suzanne Stone Maretto, a vamp from Little Hope, New Hampshire, who persuades a smitten teenager (Joaquin Phoenix) to try murdering her husband (Matt Dillon). The film, based on Joyce Maynard's novel, is a classy collision between the chipper misanthropy of scriptwriter Buck Henry and the eroticizing of dopey young sociopaths found in director Gus Van Sant's earlier work...
