Didn't he direct 'Jack?'

Director Francis Ford Coppola just threw three of our best actors under the bus. In the newest issue of GQ, the "Godfather" director said Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson and Al Pacino are "living off the fat of the land" and don't tackle challenging roles any more. There's more than a little truth here, but to be fair to the trio it's not as if they're getting the best roles anymore. Those scripts get handed to younger, Capital A-listers like Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt first. And is Coppola the best person to hurl such barbs? He hasn't directed a project of substance since the flawed but intriguing "Dracula" (1992). Let's hope his new film "Youth Without Youth" ends his dry streak.
