ROBOT
CHICKEN
Hollywood power couple Seth Green and
Matt Senreich aren’t quite in the
J-Lo and Marc Anthony league of diva-dom. They’re
no Brangelina to look at either. On the end of their speaker

what strictly platonic pals lack in paparazzi sparkle
and audio pop, they compensate for with Emmy award-winning
sketch comedy.

BLOOD
ON HIS HANDS
Director Paul Thomas Anderson talks about
bringing Upton Sinclair’s novel Oil to
the screen as THERE WILL BE BLOOD, and
why he wouldn’t have done it without Daniel
Day Lewis. |

EPIC
MOVIE
In 2005, the UK’s Telegraph reported that Jeff Cullis,
a retired businessman from Nottingham, was bringing chariot
races back to Jordan and that it felt “bigger than
Ben Hur”. In 2003 The
Sydney Morning Herald reported that movie offerings for
the summer, “Were much, much bigger than Ben
Hur”. Neither claim proved to be accurate. |

THE REITMAN FOR THE JOB
(Interview)
The son of legendary Hollywood director Ivan Reitman,
JASON REITMAN has developed his own comic
sensibilities. He made his 2005 debut with Thank You for
Smoking, which dealt with the thorny issue of cigarettes
through the eyes of a lobbyist working on behalf of a
tobacco firm. Now Reitman embraces an equally difficult
subject – teenage pregnancy – for his sophomore
film, JUNO. |
