Let's have a moment of silence for the solid comedy that could have been carved out of this true story of a rookie filmmaker who gets his first film greenlighted only to find he's being used for a mob sting orchestrated by the FBI. Matthew Broderick plays the stooge, Alec Baldwin is the fed, and they're joined by a cast of pros, including Tony Shalhoub, Calista Flockhart and Buck Henry. Sadly, only Toni Collette, as a movie diva, and Joan Cusack, as a potty-mouth agent, get any laughs. Screenwriter Jeff Nathanson (Catch Me If You Can, Rush Hour), in his directing debut, can't find a rhythm, and so a concept that should fly — Broderick's character must shoot an Arizona-based script in Providence, Rhode Island — never achieves liftoff.

“The Everchanging Spectrum of a Lie”

The opener off the Welsh group’s The Big Roar album was an epic one, but the band was worried that track had polarized fans. “The first song is eight minutes long,” Rhydian Dafydd, the Joy Formidable bassist, said. “If you did that in the Seventies people would be, ‘Whatever.’ You do it now, people think, ‘Holy s---!’ Some people think it’s the f---ing greatest track on the entire album, and some people think it’s f---ing boring. It’s that element of needing to challenge people.” The band concluded through the song’s lyrics that love was the “everchanging spectrum of a lie.”
