When Willis O'Brien, the pioneering special-effects genius, went back to his drawing board in the 1940s, he gave Mighty Joe Young two things King Kong, his first and greatest ape, lacked: a user-friendly name and a lady friend who didn't burst into screams every time she caught sight of him. The result didn't quite match King Kong, arguably the movies' most intense portrayal of unrequited love, but it remains a sweet memory, now happily recalled by director Ron Underwood's genial remake...
...like geologic formations, created by successive layers of living. Almost everything they think and do is rooted in some experience from earlier years. Ford was a hearty Midwestern boy who always had a job, studied hard in school played sports with even more enthusiasm, excelled in the Boy Scouts, went to war, became a lawyer and then a member of Congress from Grand Rapids, Mich.

...Carter may have come closer than any other modern President to mastering his schedule. He got up at 5:30 am. to get at his agenda when he was at home in the White House.

Beyond that, it was a real honor to be awarded the National League MVP--and to help the Cubs make...

However, DMX doesn't share McGruff's anticrime leanings: his new album, like his last, which went double platinum, is seething with viciousness and violence. His lyrics--often simple and clumsy--attack other black people, homosexuals and women. DMX is at his best when he becomes more contemplative, as he does in Coming From, a moving ballad he performs with singer Mary J. Blige. Attacking minorities...
