Last week, while you were busy not watching the Olympics, you may have missed the announcement that Julia Roberts was close to signing up for a new movie. Once again, it proved that Roberts has impeccable timing. (In "My Best Friend's Wedding," she tapped into the gay man/straight woman dynamic long before "Will & Grace" parlayed it into an Emmy.) And this new movie couldn't be happening at a more appropriate time in our nation's history...
...Smith-style?" she asks subjects. After a few hundred pages, it becomes a little much--and that's before Smith shares her thoughts on religion.

...films of the past 12 months earning more than $100 million reinforces the who's-in-it? who-cares? trend. Only six, besides M:I2, had front-line performers: Tom Hanks in The Green Mile and (we're being generous) Toy Story 2, Harrison Ford in What Lies Beneath, Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich, Mel Gibson in The Patriot and Eddie Murphy in Nutty Professor II: The Klumps. The other winners connected with audiences' fondness for old franchises (the James Bond The World Is Not Enough), twisted family dramas (American Beauty, Double Jeopardy), barnyard critters (Stuart Little, Chicken...
