...Despite its short running time the movie does occasionally become tiresome in its second half, when Morton drops out of the picture to make way for a fancier enchantress. Unfortunately, Uma Thurman disappoints as Blanche, an Anais Nin wannabe with a fetish for performing geniuses: the amusing concept of her character doesnt justify her time on screen. The period detail, though sumptuously photographed by Chinese cinematographer Zhao Fei, doesnt hold interest on its own. Happily, the film finds its way back again in the end when Emmet shows up outside Hatties laundry. A lovely scene between Penn and Morton...
...Hollywood golden boys get, a behind-the-scenes show-biz dealmaker with his hands on the levers of the starmaking machinery. One of the most successful agents in show business and a part owner of the powerful Creative Artists Agency, Jay represented Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, Uma Thurman, David Letterman and other major names. He had been the protege of CAA co-founder Michael Ovitz and was already being touted, at 30, as a future studio head. He dated models and actresses, drove a Ferrari, lived in a Hollywood Hills mansion stocked with Warhols, Stellas and Picassos. Before...
...Nine years ago, she was just another down-at-heel ex-prodigy, so poor she didn't even own a cello. Then she wandered into an open call at New York City's Ford Modeling Agency, where the fact that she looks like a cross between Michelle Pfeiffer and Uma Thurman was considered an asset, not a distraction. Now Kotova, who turns 28 this month, is off the runways and back onstage, touring the U.S. and promoting her self-titled debut CD on Philips Classics. It is a collection of juicy romantic encores by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Rimsky-Korsakov, Faure...
Sleepwalking through yet another movie, Arquette apparently thinks we'll write off as oh-so-nourish her flat, "understated" delivery; she also misguidedly subscribes to the Uma Thurman "the more tired you look, the sexier you must be" school of seduction. She doesn't play her character's kooky quirks--addictions to self-help tapes and The Sound of Music--as nearly as creepy or unnerving as they should be, reducing them to novelty, pop-recognition bits...
...Elliott? And shouldn't the article "Cameron Diaz Hates Everyone" have been titled "Everyone Hates Cameron Diaz?" She's quoted as saying, "I don't believe in technology. I don't believe it has helped anything." Well said, Cam! Why are these people interesting? Your personal love letter to Uma Thurman? I mean, I'm sure whatever species she's from, she's a very attractive member of that species. But as a model of anything important? Thanks, I'll take Katha Pollitt. Sure, Matt Damon is cute, like the way your fourth grade class gerbil was cute, even after...
