|  | | Gary Winick
Chris Tookey talks to director Gary Winick - the feted independent filmmaker who is the unlikely choice for the new big studio teen comedy 13 Going on 30 and is tipped to be the next Steven Soderbergh.
Easy Rider
To mark Easy Rider's 35th birthday Back Row jumps on to its Harley Davison to take a spin around the making of the seminal 1969 film. Is it the film classic that many claim? British filmmaker Stephen Frears and authors Lee Hill and Peter Biskind offer their opinions.
Disney
As Disney's new cartoon Home on the Range tries to make up for a string of flops we ask the executive editor of Variety Steven Gaydos whether 2004 is turning out to be Disney's annus horribilis.
Worst Lines
