With Roman Polanski's THE GHOST WRITER entering its third weekend of release (and hitting hundreds of more theaters across the country), I've decided it's now safe to release this spoiler-laden interview with novelist-screenwriter Robert Harris. My recommendation: see the movie first, then read this. As I've already said, THE GHOST WRITER is my favorite Polanski thriller since THE TENANT. If it's playing anywhere near you, do not miss it.

Right up front, GHOST WRITER is just a superb paranoid thriller. It is. It isn't retro, it is totally modern, while making one a bit nostalgic for the paranoid political thrillers of the seventies... not because this film isn't as good as those, but because other than this, those are the remaining superb paranoid thrillers.

Currently in release is a Jackie Chan performance unlike any other in his 100+ film career. In SHINJUKU INCIDENT, Jackie Chan doesn’t use martial arts. He isn’t a comedic character. He isn’t even a good guy. He is frankly a thug, a gang leader and a man caught in a spiraling out of control situation that just gets nasty and bad.

Hey, everyone. Capone in Chicago here, with just a couple of things to say about this week's biggest release, and one well worth seeing. I'm keeping this one short because I truly believe the less you know going into this film the better, but I still have a job to do, so here we go.

Hey folks, Harry here with the latest end to a screening contest. This time for Roman Polanski's GHOST WRITER. Now - if you find yourself not on the list below, but you sent your email within 5 hours of the start of the contest... Well, somehow you made a mistake or your email client did. 1 person decided to list 3 people, so they didn't get in. There was probably about 15 folks, that got the SUBJECT LINE wrong in some minor infraction - which meant... their email didn't go to the proper folder, as I told you.
