It’s hard to get past the face. Stretched so tight, there’s not a single laugh line….. …. still, her lines have always made me laugh. And the movie delivers on its title—Joan Rivers : A Piece of Work. Such irony. For a comedian, her story has plenty of tragedy. The outrageous character she […]
Catherine Keener: my new BFF
Dear Catherine: I’ve never written a fan letter– so think of this as a “friend” letter– because after seeing many of your films, that’s how I think of you. As someone I’d like to know. How could anyone NOT like you? As usual, you were wonderful in your latest film—Please Give. So was the rest […]

An American Tragedy
What else can you possible call it? With respect to Theodore Dreiser, no fiction writer could dream up this mess. It would be a great story, if only it weren’t real. I didn’t intend to write about it…but I also didn’t think John Edwards could sink any lower than he already had. I love words […]
