Healing with homeopathy: sensational results using the sensation method of homeopathy for bipolar disorder
By the mid-2000s, when he made his hysterically
overamped revenge thriller "Man on Fire" and his aggressively scuzzy bounty-hunter biopic "Domino," Scott had become a reliable punching bag for certain reviewers, who wrote him off as a purveyor of cheap, titillating thrills, pandering to the audience's
Tony Scott: genre's top gun
This production--especially Streep's

Forbidden Broadway: Special Victims Unit
Complexity of historic, political and personal issues at play here are very well laid out in Terry Cafolla's nondidactic screenplay, though an occasional
overamped moment hammers home the point that's already obvious throughout: While everyone here is right and wrong to an extent, the biggest victims are those whose formative years are being shaped by fear and rage.
