For ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY's movie department, getting the inside story on nearly 100 spring movies is business as usual. ''We're always keeping track of 100 movies,'' says Mark Harris, EW's senior editor in charge of movie features and news coverage. We're just not usually all in the same room at the same time.
In fact, staffers are out and about so often, their prime writing time often appears to be midnight. Rebecca Ascher-Walsh, Jess Cagle, Steve Daly, Jeff Gordinier, and Benjamin Svetkey, as well as Gregg Kilday and David Hochman in our Los Angeles bureau, are always hitting the road to produce evocative set-visit stories, detailed behind-the-scenes reports, elegant profiles, perceptive industry analyses, and smart trend pieces. (Cagle does double duty; he's also the department's deputy editor.) And, under the direction of movie-review senior editor George Blooston, lively commentary by critics Owen Gleiberman and Lisa Schwarzbaum is framed by the distinctive boxes and sidebars frequently contributed by editorial assistant Dave Karger.
''Even when we're bleary-eyed from screenings and box office statistics, I can't argue when people tell me we have the best jobs in the world,'' Harris says. Thanks to the clear-eyed instincts of this movie-loving gang, nothing escapes ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY's scrutiny.
