 Salon Arts & Entertainment | "The Story of Us"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Some of the story's action takes place in the present, but there's always a dewy memory, or an acidic one, waiting in the wings to cue us in to how we should feel about this fractured marriage.
But the greatest disappointment of "The Story of Us" is Pfeiffer and Willis, two terrific actors who barely tread water here.
And even though Reiner does his damnedest to drag us through their pain, joking around all the way, the picture has such a slick veneer of positive energy that you just know they'll get back together.

 The Raw Story | On Cheney, Rumsfeld order, US outsourcing special ops, intelligence to Iraq terror group, intelligence ...
The Pentagon is bypassing official US intelligence channels and turning to a dangerous and unruly cast of characters in order to create strife in Iran in preparation for any possible attack, former and current intelligence officials say.
Another former intelligence official added that the US military had detained as many as 3,500 members of MEK at Iraq’s Camp Ashraf since the start of the war, including the highest level ranking MEK leaders.
When asked if the US military is running the MEK, the source was careful to indicate that while there is a US unit in Iran gathering information, it’s difficult to say if they are in any way involved with MEK.

 'The Story of Us' a minimum-risk foray into tribulations of marriage   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Maybe it's because the film is short, but "The Story of Us" doesn't delve very deeply into the emotional mayhem that reigns -- and is ruining -- the 15-year relationship between Ben (Bruce Willis) and Katie (Michelle Pfeiffer) Jordan.
In "The Story of Us," the culprit is the tics and quirks and personality traits that initially brought Ben and Katie together in the first place but which have built up over the years into a maelstrom of anger, silence and miscommunication.
It may be that there is humor in pathos, tragedy and sadness after a certain amount of time has passed, but while Reiner purports to reveal truths about relationships in general, it's almost as if he's afraid to look at this couple's darkest interior and their real disenchantment, disappointment and dismay.
