...since he doesn't exist. See him rather as a projection of everything the tormented Charlie would like to be: a Hollywood smoothie, entirely uncursed by doubt, depression or dismay at the ratchety workings of the world. And see Adaptation as, at its best, a schizoid, almost bipolar comedy in which a basically glum guy struggles to assert his withered gleeful side...
...January Def Jam and Jive Records threw a joint press conference to congratulate themselves on their good fortune: Def Jam's top artist, rapper Jay-Z--the multimillion-selling kingpin of the genre--and Jive's top R.-and-B. singer, R.

She spent years in prison after refusing to testify against this con man and only began to speak of the gross injustice Because this peculiar...
...Face/Off In this schizoid actioner, John Woo harnesses his explosive visual finesse to a mad fable of two men (Nicolas Cage and John Travolta) who become what they most hate: each other. Hollywood high concept meets Hong Kong turbo technique for double the pleasure, double the art. Woo's best since Bullet in the Head...
