Don’t look now, but the Godfather of Soul may have to loosen his grip on the title of “hardest working man in show business.” In the last six months alone, Samuel L. Jackson has starred opposite Julianne Moore in “Freedomland,” lent his voice to “The Boondocks” and Bob Saget’s film spoof “Farce of the Penguins,” driven the summer’s most heavily-hyped sleeper (“Snakes On a Plane”), and wrapped filming on writer/director Craig Brewer’s eagerly-anticipated follow-up to “Hustle & Flow,” “Black Snake Moan.” The 58-year-old actor recently took time out of his crazy schedule to sit down with us in New York City, discussing everything from being hassled by the cops to...

ever. But will it be enough to turn around filmdom’s ongoing downward trend?
Here’s our look at some of the season’s most eagerly anticipated releases...

As an entertainment writer, it’s pretty shocking when you
find out you’re about to interview the former Vice President of the United States. Particularly when you believe that
said former VP should’ve been the rightful President of our nation after

dancing at the end of strings being pulled by corporate America). What, you
thought someone who makes a living as a critic would approach an interview with
Al Gore impartially?
Gore was in town to promote his new documentary film, “An
Inconvenient Truth,” in which he spells out in layman’s terms the specific
