...women's pictures, they throbbed with energy, perhaps because female behavior was such an enigma to them, perhaps because actresses like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were so headlong, so committed to the emotional extremes. You might not, in the end, believe them, but boy they were gripping to watch. Directors like Grant or Nancy Meyers (of The Holiday among other titles) want to keep their leading ladies unhysteric, as if descents into the irrational were somehow fuel for sexism. But the politely furrowed brow is fundamentally anti-dramatic. You want people in films like this to rip and snort...
...suspect the military is involved in the killings, though last month an Arroyo-appointed commission cleared it of blame for a slew of murders in Negros, an island north of Mindanao. The efforts of a previous government task force were stymied by what the New York-based Human Rights Watch called "a climate of fear and a lack of cooperation by military authorities." Human Rights Watch said that victims' families were "afraid to cooperate with police for fear of becoming targets of reprisal."

...difficult as Letters can be to watch, that fact might make it easier for Japanese audiences to embrace it. They aren't required to ponder the psychic cost of the battle on the survivors - few as there were - nor to wonder at the political mistakes that wrought horror from Manchuria to New Guinea. That's not the film Eastwood wanted to make, and that he chose not to takes nothing away from his accomplishment. But if he had, I doubt that Abe would have walked out of a screening calling it a "very good film" - and that $40 million gross...
Maggie Anthony, an interior decorator from Nashville, appears surprisingly calm and confident for a U.S. mother about to watch her son be tried for murder in Nicaragua. "I feel good about it; I know he is innocent," says Anthony, referring to the Jan. 26 trial that could put her son, Eric Volz, behind bars for the next 30 years. Volz, a 24-year- old real estate agent and publisher of a tourism and fashion magazine called El Puente (The Bridge), is charged with murdering his ex-girlfriend, Doris Ivania Jimenez, a beautiful young Nicaraguan woman who was found raped...
