Woody Allen's 1998 feature entry, Celebrity, is arguably his weakest film in half a decade, failing to reach the level of entertaining mediocrity attained by such middle-of-the-road features as Mighty Aphrodite and Deconstructing Harry, and falling...

Considering the rancid, nightmarish quality of his books, it's somewhat amazing that a writer like British author Ian McEwan could have three of his works filmed by now. In addition to The Cement Garden, The Comfort of Strangers has been made into...
