Ang Lee
Taiwanese born, Ang Lee (b. 1954) has produced diverse films in his
award-winning body of work. Sometimes working in the West,
sometimes in the East, he creates films that defy easy
categorization and continue to amaze audiences worldwide. Lee has
won an Academy Award two times for Best Director--the first Asian
to win--for films as different as a small drama about gay cowboys
in Brokeback Mountain (2005), and the 3D technical
wizardry in Life of Pi (2012). He has garnered numerous
accolades and awards worldwide. Lee has made a broad range of
movies, including his so-called \"Father Knows Best\" trilogy made up
of his first three films: Pushing Hands (1992), The
Wedding Banquet (1993), and Eat Drink Man Woman
(1994), as well as 1970s period drama The Ice Storm
(1997), martial arts film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
(2000), superhero blockbuster Hulk (2003), and hippie
retro trip Taking Woodstock (2009). Thoughtful and
passionate, Lee humbly reveals here a personal journey that brought
him from Taiwan to his chosen home in the United States as he
struggled and ultimately triumphed in his quest to become a superb
filmmaker. Ang Lee: Interviews collects the best
interviews of this reticent yet bold figure.

Ang Lee Returned to His Native Taiwan to Make Eat Drink Man Woman
During the sumptuous four-minute opening-credits sequence of Eat Drink Man Woman, viewers get to see a deft display of culinary wizardry: the brisk chopping of exotic vegetables, the surgical preparation of sea bass, the bubbling pot of lotus flower soup. To shoot these scenes, Ang Lee, who co-wrote and directed this follow-up to his Oscar-nominated art-house hit The Wedding Banquet, employed a trio of top Taiwanese cooks. More than one hundred recipes were used in the film, which traces the relationship between three grown daughters and their widower father—a father who happens to be Taipei’s most celebrated chef.

Book Chapter
The Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea column
In McKay's film adaptation, which boasts a daunting ensemble cast (Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Melissa Leo, Brad Pitt) and which has been racking up critics' kudos and nominations, McKay follows a gang of Wall Street renegades who had the savvy to see the real estate implosion of 2008 coming -- and profited from it by betting against the housing market and the junk bonds propping it up.

One question, two IREM members
Two property managers shared their views on giving out personal cell phone number to tenants. Initially Steven Rea, VP, administration, Roscoe Properties Inc, only provided his cell phone information to residents in times of crisis. Then he started providing it when dealing with major maintenance issues so they would have the ability to let him know immediately if the problem returned or got worse. As a general rule, Steven K. Easton, owner, Easton Realty, does not believe in giving out his personal cell phone number to tenants. When you provide your cell number to a tenant, they get the impression that you are available whenever they want to reach you. He treats his cell phone as a convenience to him, not the caller.
Journal Article
The Philadelphia Inquirer On Movies column
April 17--When Robert Redford first heard of The Conspirator, a project being pitched by a new indie distributor intent on making films steeped in American history, he thought, ho hum, another script about Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War, the assassination. Redford, who founded the Sundance Institute and still oversees the annual Sundance Film Festival, hasn't appeared in front of the camera since 2007, when he cast himself as a college professor in the Tom Cruise-Meryl Streep political drama Lions for Lambs.

The Philadelphia Inquirer \On Movies\ column
A twisting tale of ambition, greed and hypocrisy, of moral lassitude and bold-faced chicanery, Casino Jack and the United States of Money focuses on the chameleonlike Abramoff, a charismatic mover and shaker who shook down American Indian tribes, Asian clothing factory owners and members of Congress, pocketing millions in the process.

The Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea column: On Movies: Filmmakers finds Barnes story travels well
The Art of the Steal is a chronicle of the decades-long fight for control over the Barnes and its trove of Cezannes, Matisses, Picassos, Renoirs, and Van Goghs -- and the legal wrangling, political maneuvering, and power plays that led to the Barnes' planned 2012 relocation from suburban Merion to a site on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia. The film boasts rare archival footage of the millionaire art collector traipsing around Europe in the 1940s. [...] it features interviews with controversial former Barnes head Richard Glanton, Gov. Rendell, art historians, other politicians, and fervent members of the Friends of the Barnes, the group that struggled mightily to keep the foundation in its leafy setting just outside the city.

Bringing back Barnes, on film
The documentary presents a kind of high-culture conspiracy theory, going so far as to display a cop-show-like \"suspects board\" with photographs of civic and cultural leaders linked in their alleged efforts to usurp the Barnes' deed and influence the foundation's board.
