		Thanks to Alvin Sargent, 77, a publicity-shy screenwriter who won Oscars for 1977's Julia and 1980's Ordinary People, the sequel to 2002's comic-book triumph is a popcorn rarity, earning raves for its emotional resonance as well as its special effects.

	Spider-Man 2
		Screenplay: Alvin Sargent (based on a screen story by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar and Michael Chabon, and on the comic books and characters by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko).
		Alvin Sargent's scripts are often pretty good at laying out psychological ambivalence, especially among people who are supposed to love each other and know each other well.
		This script's strategy for bringing home these conflicts is to recycle them over and over, in embarrassingly direct language, so that nearly every character in the movie is stuck with a monologue or two that reminds us of themes that are barely weighty enough to qualify.

	Unfaithful (2002)
		Written by Alvin Sargent and William Broyles, Jr.
		But the city is still vibrant with whirling trash, pungent and beautifully designed, and hot French book dealers for a nice, leggy woman like Diane Lane to bump into during a wind storm while she’s carrying her son’s birthday party favors through Soho.
		To the credit of much-maligned director Adrian Lyne (and writers Alvin Sargent and William Broyles, Jr.), Unfaithful breathes with a freedom from the Freudianness of other films dying to explain odd behavior, films like his take on Lolita.

	Alvin Sargent to write Spider-Man 3 - The Superhero Hype! Boards
		If you look at his filmography, Sargent as a very great, impressive and diverse body of work, and I have no problems with him writing Spider-man again.
		Sargent is an acclaimed screenwriter who penned Ordinary People (quite fitting, huh?), among others.
		Alvin Sargent can stay on as far as I'm concerned --- I just hope he's a little more respectful of the villain's motivations in the third movie than he was in the second.

	Untitled Document
		Laurence Mark produces the screenplay by Alvin Sargent, based on the acclaimed book by Mona Simpson.
		The themes behind Mona Simpson's novel and Sargent's screenplay were the strongest attractions to Wang, who had dealt with these situations in earlier films, such as "Dim Sum" and "Eat a Bowl of Tea," as well as "The Joy Luck Club." "ANYWHERE BUT HERE is about letting go of the people you love," states Wang.
		Wang and Sargent's script impressed Sarandon, who was already familiar with the novel.

		Sargent is currently working with director Sam Raimi on the script for Spider-Man 3, which is due out in May of 2007.
		Sargent got the sole screen credit for writing Spider-Man 2, a project that involved a number of writers including David Koepp (credited with Spider-Man 1), Smallville creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon.
		Sargent's work on Spider-Man 2, which was slightly less successful at the box office than its predecessor, but widely considered a better film, earned the 74-year-old scribe, who got his start in Hollywood writing the Route 66 TV series, the chance to pen the next two web-slinging epics.

	ANYWHERE BUT HERE - DVD
		The film is told from Ann's perspective (to that end, she narrates it), so we're frustrated by the condescending manner in which figures of authority treat Ann when mother and daughter are together.
		Alvin Sargent's adaptation of Mona Simpson's 1987 novel impressed me where Ann is concerned: her wisdom and command of logic never become precious or unreasonably mature.
		This may actually be the uncomplicatedly beautiful Natalie Portman's dramatic gifts at work and not the screenplay.

	KINNOPIO - Spider-Man 2
		Fortunately for Raimi, who is directing a script by Alvin Sargent, a large percentage of the entire planet saw the original Spider-Man (it was one of only three films in history to gross over $400 million in its initial run).
		But even when he’s not fighting Doc Ock, the few scenes in which Spidey swings on his webs from the eves of New York City are just as fun to watch; more than in the first film, there is great wonderment at the sensation of flight.
		Sargent’s screenplay mixes this action and drama with a broad repertoire of jokes, some of which may please fans, for an essential part of the Spider-Man oeuvre is a bit of camp, and others of which may have audiences in the throes of ridicule.

	Floridian: This time, Spidey swings
		Instead, the sequel does everything right that the first movie didn't - or couldn't with computer-generated images at the time - while proving that characters from a two-dimensional comic book can, with the proper attention, evolve into richly emotional roles.
		Give credit to Alvin Sargent for his screenplay and to actors who never are caught winking at the camera or playing to the rafters, two unavoidable temptations of such material.
		Now that key introductions are out of the way, Raimi and Sargent can get down to business, putting Peter (Tobey Maguire) through angst-driven situations that made young readers identify with the comic books.

	Anywhere But Here
		Alvin Sargent and Wayne Wang’s Anywhere But Here is an all-in-all good movie. A humorous and touching portrayal of the tangled ups and downs of a mother- daughter relationship and, maybe, in a more modest, subtle fashion, the passion and turmoil underlying all human relationships. It’s a movie of and about feelings.
		As you may guess, the one thing Adele doesn’t have is an ounce of sense.
		Wang also has veteran screenwriter Alvin Sargent’s (Ordinary People) perceptive sharp screenplay. The film avoids being overly slick for the most part, though there’s nothing terribly new going on here (it may recall for you the recent Down and Out in Beverly Hills, in its story of errant parenting in La-La Land).

		Under such stress, most people would lose their hair—Peter, on the other hand, begins to lose his Spidey senses.
		So if they find the film's CGI Spider-Man a little gawky, I doubt they'll have problems with Dr. Ock's fabulous tentacles, which take on a life of their own whenever the mad scientist flips out.
		Ock himself remains somewhat of a cipher, but screenwriter Alvin Sargent does a remarkable job paralleling the man's identity crisis with Peter's own.

	Box Office Mojo > Movie Review > Spider-Man 2
		Deprived of both a world worth saving and a heroic hero, Spider-Man 2 relies on Alvin Sargent's script, which is threaded with an idea that holds the web together: volition.
		Each character faces a fundamental choice—Parker must decide whether he wants to save the world, actress Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst, trying too hard) must choose between Parker and her astronaut boyfriend and Parker's best friend (James Franco) faces his destiny.
		Sargent's fragmentary theme of free will also applies to Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) and the movie's villain, played by Alfred Molina, yet another mad scientist.
