Love and Money
James Toback wrote and directed this typically intense and idiosyncratic satiric thriller. Byron Levin (Ray Sharkey) is an investment planner who has grown tired of his job and is bored by his relationship with his girlfriend Vicky (Susan Heldfond). When Frederick Stockheinz (Klaus Kinski), an international business magnate, approaches Byron about helping him establish a new firm in a small South American nation, he gladly accepts the offer. It isn't long before Byron discovers that he's gotten involved in something far more complicated than he ever imagined. The country has rich reserves of silver, but it is also in a state of political upheaval, and Byron is dealing with dictators and fending off revolutionaries as often as he minds the bottom line. Byron also encounters Frederick's wife Catherine (Ornella Muti), a beautiful woman with whom he begins having a very dangerous affair. Love and Money also features legendary director King Vidor in a small role as Byron's father; it was his first acting role in a film, and his last (he died nine months after the film's release). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

On Singers Who Should Quit...maddalen101 said "Miley Cyrus has physical charisma, but is pushing her little voice too hard. She sings like one of those hard-voiced Broadway bricks, and probably already has vocal problems. She'll be done in another year. Whitney? Poor Whitney. Her world-class voice is a wreck. Britney catapulted her gulping nasal growl into stardom through her physical charisma. When not dolled up for stage, though, her trailer roots show. Ashlee's not, and never was, a singer. She was manufactured by her dad, and was fool enough to buy the hype. At least she got a rich husband out of it. "

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"
