Employees" here are regarded as family, and [Alfred Agee, Jr.] will be the first to tell you how much he loves it here. When asked to share a fond memory of his time here, he responded, "Meeting Vanessa Williams after she won Miss America. She was really nice. We enjoyed several great meals and an honorable mention goes out to LuLu's at Homeport Marina, a Caribbean-style respite right on the water. LuLu is actually Lucy Buffet, Jimmy Buffet's sister, who has created her own Caribbean utopia complete with nightly entertainment, an outdoor "show" kitchen, children's private beach area, volleyball, a great bar and delicious food - fried green tomatoes, peel and eat shrimp, fried clams and crab claws, seafood gumbo, oysters, mahimahi, jalapeño hushpuppies and tropical cocktails, just for ...

[Truman Capote] chose art-film fave Catherine Keener to portray Truman's friend, the novelist Nelle Harper Lee. Here it's Sandra Bullock, whose coolly hip and assertive interpretation, compared with Keener's diffident one, is closer to what we know about the reclusive writer. And in , Truman bonds with hunky Daniel Craig as [Perry Smith]. It's a wonder he doesn't just resolve himself into a dew. Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis and Isabella Rossellini round out the impressive-to-famous cast. At the celebrity-filled social gatherings that gave life to Truman's self-esteem, the script of almost seems to be intentionally banal. At other times, it's literary and refined. Nelle and Truman have a nasty argument about whether there can be such thing as a "nonfiction novel," or whether...
In considering INFAMOUS, director Douglas McGrath's account of writer Truman Capote and his experiences while researching his magnum opus In Cold Blood, I wanted to write about Capote's eccentric, manipulative personality; his complex bonds with childhood friend and author Nelle Harper Lee and lover Jack Dunphy; his simultaneous kinship to and contempt for the rural Kansans he harvests for information and literary inspiration; his duplicitous relationships with Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, the perpetrators of the grisly murders explicated in Capote's book; and the paradox and pliant perception of truth intrinsic to the "nonfiction novel" concept he popularized. Where Infamous differs most from last year's film is in its dramatization of Capote's relationship with Perry Smith, played wi...
[Truman ] recounts the six years the iconoclast author spent researching and writing In Cold Blood, his nonfiction novel about the murder of a Kansas farming family. Alongside childhood friend and future Pulitzer-winner Nelle Harper Lee (Catherine Keener), travels to the remote town to capture the effects the killings have had on the community. Despite his fame, flamboyant homosexuality and odd mannerisms, he's soon embraced by the town and granted unprecedented access to their personal lives.
For those of you lucky enough to have caught the Normal Theaters showings of "In Cold Blood" several weeks back, the arrival of "Capote" makes for a very interesting, and revealing, shift in perspective.In the 1967 film, Richard Brooks filmed Capotes revolutionary "nonfiction novel" in a complimentary no-frills, semi- documentary style. A la the book, the films narrative focus alternated between the viewpoints of ex-convicts Perry Smith and Dick Hickock - notorious murderers of the Clutter family of rural Holcomb, Kan. - and Alvin Dewey, the dogged federal agent leading the investigation."Capote," an uncommonly revealing look at the journalistic/creative process in its own right, is almost like viewing "In Cold Blood" a second time through, except that the camera is pointed in another d...
Harper Lee is widely known for two things: as the author of the modern American classic "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1960), and as a very private person. Admirers of the artist and her masterwork can therefore be grateful to biographer Charles J. Shields for shedding some much-needed light on Miss Lee's family, friends, background and literary accomplishment. But as for Miss Lee herself, at the end of reading the present volume, the reader continues to see her as through a glass darkly.

All that leaves for [TRUMAN CAPOTE] to conquer are the killers. Richard Hickock is a handsome, charming, strapping Philistine. Capote pays him no attention. But Perry Smith (Clifton Collins Jr.) is different: smaller, sadder, and with a good vocabulary and a placid voice. Over the next few years, Capote seduces him into talking about his terrible, lonely childhood (just like Capote's), and ultimately, he reveals all the bloody details of what happened at the Clutter home. This is the peripheral story of Truman, directed by Bennett Miller, and written by the actor Dan Futterman from Gerald Clarke's biography. The rest of the film is a subtle effort to reveal the darkest heart of its difficult central figure. It's often effective, and also a bit coercive: To draw us into Capote's sympathi...

Como es bien sabido -por su excelente encarnación del celebrado novelista Truman Capote durante el período que escribió su mas famoso libro, In Cold Blood, que por cierto Richard Brooks llevó al cine con gran éxito en 1967- Capote ganó todos los premios de actuación, incluyendo el Oscar, obtenido Philip Seymour Hoffman. Con algunas variaciones, Infamous recuenta la misma historia que Capote. Una de las principales diferencias es que esta nueva producción nos revela mucho más sobre la frívola vida del escritor en Manhattan y su íntima amistad con celebradas figuras de la alta sociedad como Babe Paley (Sigourney Weaver), la esposa del presidente de la cadena de televisión CBS, Bill Paley, la emperatriz de la moda Diane Vreeland (Juliet Stevenson), Slim Keith (Hope Davis) y Marella Angelli...

BREAKFAST ON PLUTO. Neil Jordan's off-kilter period comedy tells the story of Patrick "Kitten" Braden (Cillian Murphy), a wandering Irish cross-dresser, in his search for happiness and his birth mother. Unfortunately, Jordan's film, adapted from Patrick McCabe's novel, presents one utterly silly scenario after another without ever making a point. This lurid but oddly neutered tale reads as a dreamy, lonely small-town teen such as Patrick might have imagined his life, but it's asking a lot of us to play along for over two hours. Presented with such meaty topics as sexual identity, the social upheaval of the early 1970s and the ongoing grind of sectarian troubles, we could do with more than Kitten's feckless tumble through life and his touchstone philosophy, drawn from Bobby Goldsboro's "...
