...honors as narrator for the recent documentary "Behind the Planet of the Apes." The job called for an open embrace of the sci-fi/camp classics that Charlton Heston had clearly sidestepped, just as he did by bowing out of the series after just a teaser role in the first sequel. McDowall loved every minute of it; you could see it in his eyes. He loved the makeup, the social commentary, the sense of doing something that hadn't been done, then doing it over and over again as long as they kept paying you. McDowall was a pro -- temperamental...
...many characters' thoughts, so that later, when the same moment is revived in the novel's finale, there is little left to reveal. Of course, that broad surveying into Who Feels What lends the chapter very well to independent analysis, making Morrison's reading a strong, emotionally-rich teaser for readers who, unfortunately, are not likely to have their curiosity sated by the way Paradise plays...
...published The Private Lives of the Three Tenors, a quickie biography of Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti gushing with tales of the singers' amorous adventures. Her publisher, Steven Schragis of Birch Lane Press, says Lewis recommended that the book's publicity notes include this teaser: "How did the author, a glamorous Beverly Hills writer formerly with the Hollywood Reporter, get all the inside dope?

...teaser for the article, as if those stripes and that headline weren't enough of a tease, informs the interested reader that George Clooney most wants to act the part of the "Guy" in a "classic leading-man kind of way." His simple request: "Just let me be the guy here." A real guy, taking the anecdotes Richmond relates as sign-posts, drives a motorcycle and/or a black car with leather interior, alternates between cursing and punching people who "disrespect" him or any of his "boys," does 180s on busy Los Angeles streets during the day. And he does...
...opening of Gattaca, like the rest of the movie, is an eye-teaser: against a backdrop of cool blue-gray, misshapen bits of matter drift like feathers, only to collect in an unidentifiable heap. Meanwhile, the credits appear in fragments: first the letters that make up the movie title--A, T, C and, more rarely, G--followed by the rest of the name. It's then that the significance of those four letters finally dawns upon you: Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine, the four bases that make up our genetic code. A zoom-out to a view of Ethan Hawke...
