Up until this time last time Felicity Huffman was known as a brilliant working TV, film and stage actor but hadnt yet reached mainstream. All that changed when Desperate Housewives premiered last year and became a national phenomenon.

In between filming the pilot for Desperate Housewives and the series, Huffman dipped her big toe into a leading woman role for the film Transamerica.

Huffman plays...

I agree, HMW, for the most part. I first say Felicity on Sports Night when a friend was exposing me to pre-West Wing Aaron Sorkin writing. She was fantastic on that show and brought it all with her for DH.

As for wicked hot, it's a weird subjectivity for me. For me, she's one of the least physically attractive leads on DH (what can I say - most blondes don't do it for me), but she's by far the best actress and the one I'd most like to carry on a conversation with. So for a given value of "wicked hot" where WH = looks * talent * humanity, I'm in total agreement.

Jim Carrey is of course known as one of the funniest people on the planet. He first came to fame doing nutty features like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask. In recent years he has really expanded his repertoire with movies such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.

His latest picture, Fun with Dick and...

As a horror nut I first discovered Peter Jackson when Dead Alive was released on VHS tape back in the early 90s. After viewing that first film I knew Jackson was destined to become one of the great filmmakers. I immediately saw his other works such as the Oscar nominated Heavenly Creatures and Meet the Feebles. When his first Hollywood film, The Frighteners, was going...

And Peter is a really nice guy - I wrote to him just after the first LOTR, just telling him how I'd been following his career since 'Bad Taste' (the funniest sci-fi horror of all time bar-none), and he wrote back to me, making direct references to things I had said in my letter. Sent me a signed picture too, which was nice of him. Peter Jackson is so much better than Spielberg could ever dream of.

I think what would have been interesting if Jackson had taken another route for the King Kong Movie and had Kong take a a big shit while hanging out at the empire state... so I could have called that fiilm a big peice of crap!!! puke

Jack Black is about ready to pop as a major movie star. He of course has his previous hit School of Rock but the release of Peter Jacksons reinterpretation of King Kong should send Black into the stratosphere. Black has nearly as much screen time as Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts.

Jack Black first came to notice as a character actor in such films as...

Adam Goldberg usually plays slightly neurotic, manic Jewey characters. So it was interesting to find out that in person hes very neurotic, slightly manic and not as Jewey as I thought.

Goldberg first found fame in the films Dazed and Confused and Higher Learning. In the past few years hes moved into more leading roles with the cult classic The Hebrew Hammer and the TV...

Pelle: The same, but weve got a little bit less treble. Its all about frequencies. It works the right frequencies and makes us sound the way we want to sound.

The books artwork is by Niffenegger and the story is the tale of three very different sisters: one who is beautiful, one who is smart, and one who is talented. A melodrama of sibling rivalry unfurls as one sister...

Someone had left a copy of it at the community centre where I work and nver came back for it, so I picked it up, intrigued by the title. It was amazing, and I was wondering if she'd have another one out there somewhere. After reading it I lent the book to a passing acquaintance, so book karma continues!

AlexRobinson doesnt just write and draw comic books. He creates massive tomes filled with wonderful characters. His first book was a trade paperback collecting all his issues of Box Office Poison. BOP was a semi-autobiographical tale of young people trying to find their place in the world whether it was through their relationships or cartooning.

His latest graphic novel is Tricked. It is a...

As a young boy growing up in New Zealand Andrew Adamson read all six books in C.S. Lewis Chronicles of Narnia and said to himself I will make a movie of this someday. Unlike the millions of children who thought that, Adamson has made that dream real. After co-directing both Shrek films to monstrous success Adamson parlayed that into directing the huge budgeted The Chronicles...

It'll be interesting to see how they avoid the racist shit in "A Horse and His Boy"


I've been wondering that, too. I love the series, but I was shocked at how racist that book is.

Stephen Gaghan won an Oscar for his screenplay for Traffic. After crafting the screenplay for that dense multiple storyline filled story implicating everyone even the US government in the worlds hard drug trade Gaghan decided to do the same for Big Oil with Syriana.

Syriana follows George Clooney as a career CIA operative as he begins to uncover the disturbing truth about the work he...

I'm a huge fan of Gaghan and hope he's recovered by now from this movie; it was legendarily tortuous for (and because of) him and what he says here only hints at what I've heard through the grapevine - much of which is probably exaggerated, apocryphal, or untrue, of course, but it can't all be wrong).

Thanks for this interview, folks.

Syriana , The CLI ( Committee to Liberate Iran), the nameless (almost faceless) Pakistani immigrant who is the real hero of the film and who does not even get mention in the actors' cast of many web-sites discussing the film, could not have been more relevant as a testimony to our times...

Gaghan has created an epic .. and the complete message and the the full potential of Syriana is just about to be realized...
