A hoot! Risky and controversial!...Oliver Stone's former assistant has reached into her past to write and direct what she knows!...You have to chuckle at the irony of a movie seemingly portraying certain aspects of Oliver Stone's personal life and working habits in roughly the same spirit that Stone's JFK and NIXON told their stories......Anyone who's read James Riordan's exhaustively researched 1995 biography will recall that Zendel was not only regularly quoted, but was right in the middle of nearly every detail of Stone's life for roughly four years, during his most prolific period. He directed JFK, HEAVEN and EARTH, NATURAL BORN KILLERS and NIXON during this time, and was involved in developing Stone's NORIEGA movie with Al Pacino, which never happened, and Stone's might-have-been EVITA with Michelle Pfeiffer.
