Hayden Christensen, on break from his Anakin Skywalker stint in "Star Wars," stars as Glass, a New Republic prodigy who dazzles his editors and associates with a seemingly bottomless well of fascinating story pitches and colorful sources Running time: 92 minutes After Kelly, beloved mentor for Glass and other writers, is fired, reporter Chuck Lane (Peter Sarsgaard) is promoted, taking over amid blatant hostility from his staff Bissinger that examined the Glass story, rightly calls "Shattered Glass" the cinematic equivalent of good reporting â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: G â€â€? General audiences At the first sign of disapproval, Glass blurts out the puppy-dog mantra, "Are you mad at me?" Christensen ladles it on too thickly, at times becoming so whiny and transparently insincere that it's hard to buy the snow job he pulls on such a respected journalistic institution He tries to defuse potential criticism by rushing to condemn his work before anyone else can Director-screenwr iter Billy Ray, basing the film on a Vanity Fair piece by H None of that translates to the screen, though R â€â€? Restricted NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted As two online magazine reporters (Steve Zahn and Rosario Dawson) try to chase down principals cited in the story, Lane gradually learns to his horror that Glass fabricated people, places and events on that article and two dozen others Yet from a storytelling perspective, it would have been nice if "Shattered Glass" strayed a bit onto the op-ed page and offered some perspective on Glass' motives G Two and a half stars out of four Unfortunately for people interested in what made Glass tick, the film is mainly surface detail, with no insight into why he passed off fiction as journalism The first hint of trouble comes when editor Michael Kelly (Hank Azaria) receives a call questioning facts in Glass' piece about party animals at a conservative political convention The film presents Glass as smart, ambitious and talented, a young journalist who could have excelled the old-fashioned way, chasing down real sources and crafting compelling, truthful prose But Ray himself interviewed many of Glass' colleagues, too, and those conversations must have provided some inkling into Glass' frame of mind 'Glass' Timely in Light of Blair Scandal Oct 30, 8:21 AM EST "Shattered Glass" spins a fairly compelling dramatization of the journalistic scam perpetrated by Stephen Glass at The New Republic, the magazine that fired him after learning he fabricated stories Though a dramatic narrative, the film feels objective and nonjudgmental Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian Some material may not be suitable for children Lane's dogged pursuit of the truth, his desire to clean up his own house, and the bond that eventually supplants discord between him and his staff make for a heroic journey of its own sort Bissinger was unable to interview Glass for his article, relying instead on co-worker accounts PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13 "Shattered Glass," a Lions Gate release, is rated PG-13 for language, sexual references and brief drug use By no means an "All the President's Men" tale of journalistic heroes, "Shattered Glass" still captures a sense of the nobility that can characterize the much-maligned profession even in defeat All ages admitted Glass should be the wunderkind his confederates love to hate for perpetually outshining them, yet his fawning, self-effacing manner ingratiates him with everyone in the office, including fellow reporters Caitlin Avey (Chloe Sevigny) and Amy Brand (Melanie Lynskey) The film is timely, coming on the heels of The New York Times scandal over Jayson Blair, who resigned last spring after filing phony or plagiarized articles It points no fingers, it does not glorify or denigrate Glass, and it never tries to amplify the events to build a more sinister or grandiose melodrama Lane ends up presiding over the Glass debacle, which erupts from an article about a computer hacker who signs a million-dollar payday with a software company he victimized (Kelly, later an editor for The Atlantic Monthly, was killed in Iraq last spring) PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested The film redeems itself with a gripping, fast-paced expose of Glass' misdeeds Some material may be inappropriate for young children W , on Sunday But he won a job at $225 a week imitating Franklin D " Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and other world leaders on a radio show, "Report to the Nation "I have seasonal answers," he said His career resumed, and in 1974 he was cast in Paul Mazurksy's "Harry and Tonto" as a 72-year-old widower who travels from New York to Chicago with his pet cat Carney died in Chester, Conn The shows can still be seen on cable "In the summer: `I like it down there because it's cool He had been ill for some time '" Carney was born into an Irish-Catholic family in Mount Vernon, N Told to "address the ball," Norton gives a wave of the hand and says, "Hellooooo, ball!" In another episode, Norton inadvertently wins the award for best costume at a Raccoon Lodge party by showing up in his sewer worker's gear The comic actor would be forever identified as Norton, Ralph Kramden's bowling buddy and not-too-bright upstairs neighbor on "The Honeymooners " Carney married his high school sweetheart, Jean Myers, in 1940 A piece of shrapnel shattered his right leg 'Honeymooners' Actor Art Carney Dies Nov 11, 5:19 PM EST Art Carney, who played Jackie Gleason's sewer worker pal Ed Norton in the TV classic "The Honeymooners" and went on to win the 1974 Oscar for best actor in "Harry and Tonto," has died at 85 ' In the winter: `I like it down there because it's warm " He was drafted into the Army in 1944 and took part in the D-Day landing at Normandy ' We decided to give it a go again His father was a newspaperman and publicist Among his movie credits: "W After appearing in amateur theatricals and imitating radio personalities, Carney won a job in 1937 traveling with Horace Heidt's dance band, doing his impressions and singing novelty songs ' Then I've got one that isn't seasonal: `Go to hell His behavior became erratic while co-starring with Walter Matthau in the Broadway run of Neil Simon's "The Odd Couple "We always kept in touch because of our three children," he said in a 1980 AP interview Carney won three Emmys for his role and his first taste of fame They divorced 10 years later, and in 1980 he and his first wife remarried " In one episode, he and Ralph learn to golf from an instruction book , on Nov "The first time I saw the guy act," Gleason once said, "I knew I would have to work twice as hard for my laughs With his turned-up porkpie hat and unbuttoned vest over a white T-shirt, Carney's Ed Norton with his dopily exuberant "Hey, Ralphie boy!" became an ideal foil for Gleason's blustery, bullying Kramden When it won him his Oscar, Carney cracked to reporters: "You're looking at an actor whose price has just doubled 4, 1918, and baptized Arthur William Matthew Carney That brought him to the attention of Gleason and the Dixie Dance Kings," "The Late Show," "House Calls," "Movie Movie," "Sunburn," "Going in Style," "Roadie," "Firestarter," "The Muppets Take Manhattan" and "Last Action Hero "There I was, an 18-year-old mimic rooming with a blind whistler," he told People magazine in 1974 Carney returned to radio as second banana on comedy shows, then ventured into television on "The Morey Amsterdam Show" in 1947 '" After "The Honeymooners," Carney battled a drinking problem for several years After the marriage broke up, Carney married Barbara Isaac in 1966 Y " The sitcom appeared in various forms from 1951 to 1956 and was revived briefly in 1971 He told a Saturday Evening Post interviewer in 1961 that strangers were always asking him how he liked it down in the sewer He was funny as hell He was left with a leg three-quarters of an inch shorter than the other and a lifelong limp No responsibilities, no remorse "After our second divorces, it was sort of like the puppy coming home: `Oh, it's you, come on in " He left Heidt and tried playing standup comedy in nightclubs He stopped drinking during the making of the film He failed I was an alcoholic, even then " She called him a "witty and delightful companion who went out of his way to help each new actor find his niche in the often bewildering world of `The Jackie Gleason Show " He dropped out of the show and spent nearly half a year in a sanitarium " "Art was, and is one of the most endearing men I have ever met," the late actress Audrey Meadows (the caustic Alice Kramden on "The Honeymooners") wrote in her 1994 memoir "Love, Alice "He would order gin and grapefruit juice for us in the morning, and it was great |
