...Pity that means Yoko will probably say something that will come across as more self-serving than heartfelt. And pity the movie-of-the-week about Lennon last Sunday was so terrible. Talk about going down to Liverpool to do nothing. December 8 is also Jim Morrison's birthday, although the annoying inconvenience of death puts a damper on things. Light a fire in memory...
...hardly deny that director Taylor Hackford (The Devil's Advocate) is a skilled craftsman (although I've always wondered how a filmmaker can make it when he has the word "hack" in his name).

Along with Chocolat, Moss can currently be seen as Commander Kate Bowman in Red Planet as well as Natalie in Memento. She has also committed...
