Williams and Norton, in novel roles for each actor, bring the darkness of the movie to life. We can see Williams?? Randolph struggle with unemployment, substance abuse and his sexual identity, while slipping slowly but surely into a dark chasm of insanity. On more than one occasion, Williams is let loose on an improvised, profanity-laced tirade. These tirades are reminiscent of the actor’s stand-up routines and are drop-dead funny. It is amazing that no one has let Williams play a villain before...

Professor Scarry may be an unusually talented individual, but there is no reason why we cannot all try to emulate her to some degree...
...Blue Devils just landed three players—Mike Dunleavy, Carlos Boozer and Jason Williams??on the All-America and All-ACC lists. Following a huge upset by Virginia on Feb. 28, Duke rebounded over a dismal UNC team on Sunday, unleashing a 93-68 trouncing to set up another NCAA championship...
