In Ron Howard's FROST/NIXON, Platt plays Bob Zelnick, one of two journalists [along with James Reston Jr., played by Sam Rockwell] brought in by David Frost's producers to research President Nixon's misdeeds while in the White House and give him the trial he never got thanks to a pardon by Gerald Ford. Zelnick and Reston provided Frost his questions but briefed him on what Nixon would be like as an...

It entertains in spite of its wrong-doings. The writing of author Chuck Palahniuk is always going to be tough to translate from page to screen. His sardonic, scalpel-edged satire works fantastically in book form but it doesn’t work in film form unless under expert supervision (as it was with Fight Club). Unfortunately writer/director Clark Gregg (making his directorial debut and...

Peter Morgan adapts his own play without a single second of extraneousness, but nor does he rush it. This is a perfectly-balanced script, and although I wasn't particularly fond of THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL, between FROST/NIXON and THE QUEEN, Morgan's name on a movie is now an automatic must-see element for me. Sam Rockwell, Oliver Platt, Kevin Bacon Matthew Macfadyen and Toby Jones are all, unsurprisingly,...

Best of Texas’ Squawker blog thinks so. Check out the profile of Zac, along with “5 Stupid Questions.” Can a biopic be far behind? If so, I like Sam Rockwell in the title role. The physical resemblance is slight, but Rockwell really knows how to disappear into a role. Oh, and if the biopic includes [...]

Sex addiction has been in the media spotlight lately, thanks largely to David Duchovny, the actor who happens to play a sex-obsessed writer on TV's Californication and who went into rehab for the condition in August. In the movie Choke, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, Sam Rockwell plays a medical-school dropout who goes to sex-addict recovery groups, looking to hook up. New York author Susan...

Two weeks shy of his departure from Selene, Sam starts seeing things, hearing things and feeling...
