He's not exactly larger than life--maybe 5 ft. 8 in. His hair is goofy and tousled. His voice is hoarse and has a touch of Californian dude-ulosity in it. But the chair swivels around, and you notice the eyes, luminous pearly gray lasers that go right through you. Then you remember: Oh, yeah. Right. Movie star...

Eminem is as yet no actor; he recedes into sullenness, and his intimate scenes with the smart, tarty Brittany Murphy lack juice. But the guy has a face for movies. He's Tobey Maguire with 'tude. When Toronto movies couldn't find heroes, they searched for villains. Hitler, for instance: a documentary (Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary) and a fiction film (Max, about a Jewish art dealer who befriended young Adolf the aspiring painter) plumbed the cinema's inexhaustible fascination with...
