...role as the antagonist in Ghost gained him much notoriety, and since then he has appeared in many films, including Kiss the Girls and The Pelican Brief. He starred in the critically acclaimed HBO miniseries From The Earth to the Moon, and his newest role is the voice to Tarzan in the upcoming Disney animated film, due out this summer...
...meets kookissima Sandra Bullock on a very bumpy plane ride. She plays one of those "irresistible" hysterics who love life so ferociously their hugs would smother it at birth. This romantic comedy is just as pushy, and a disaster. All its desperate plot maneuvers (Ben and Sandra making like Tarzan on a train roof) can't give the film wit; all the slo-mo sleet, rain and confetti can't give it style. And why do the three stars look so drawn and pocky? Well, it had to come sometime: this is DreamWorks' first reprehensible fiasco...
...Sundance "It Girl" phenomenon started back in 1989 with sex, lies, and videotape's Andie MacDowell, a model whose only previous major role had been as Jane in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan. Feisty Parker Posey had been banging around no-budget films for years until the 1997 festival hits Party Girl and The House of Yes gave her enough cachet to play Tom Hanks' girlfriend in You've Got Mail.

He and Peter A. Seligmann, CI's founder and chief executive, have gained an enormous amount of money, respect and attention for their 11-year-old organization, based in Washington. When Mittermeier is in barker mode, he makes the brashest...
...soon discover how awkward I am on this kind of walk: if Mittermeier is Tarzan, me Jane's grandmother. I stumble frequently and cut my hand on a rock, but eventually I turn clumsiness to my advantage by forcing everyone to slow down. I am seeing the jungle for the first time. Here alone are 300 species of trees. They are at once the pillars and the superintendents of the rain forest, the frame of the house and its chief occupants. The spiny understory palm trees make baskets from branches growing out of their trunks, which become compost machines...
