   Is adaptation a true story?

   • Charlie Kaufman 's screenplay for "Adaptation." (2002) has it three ways. It is wickedly playful in its construction, it gets the story told, and it doubles back and kids itself. There is also the sense that to some degree it's true: that it records the torments of a screenwriter who doesn't know how the hell to write a movie about orchids.

    Basic, Non-Spoiler review: Interesting Movie, despite what some say it is the most original screenplay of last year, and great acting on all counts. I haven't liked Cage this much since Raising Arizona, and I actually wanted to bang Streep at one point in the film.
