If you've been to the movies lately, you've seen it. Terry Bradshaw and his lug-head cronies stilt their deliveries and psych-grope a captive audience for a game-length promo on the evils of asthma, not to mention the evils of wearing a suit and tie after a lifetime of 'roids. These guys would look less awkward dressed as Big Bird and the Muppets. And then there's the trailer for Kevin Costner's upcoming For The Love of the Game, which so effectively blew the whole movie in the space of a trailer, I could write the review right now. What's with Kevin and Baseball movies, anyway? All that ball-scratching has me scratching my head. A decade after we learned that romance blooms when wealth redeems hookers, and every romantic comedy should feature a scene where the gal-pal tries on clothes for her beau, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere reunite. If ever there was a sure-fire can't miss formula, Runaway Bride is it. And here's the good news, this flick ain't bad! What a silly sucker of a sap I am. The fact that this movie works is especially remarkable given the relative lack of comedy in this romantic comedy and its super-slow start. The first hour of Runaway Bride should be called RUNWAY Bride because this vehicle takes so long to get off the ground. But once those seat-backs are finally returned to their upright and locked positions, there's surprising depth and truth here. Every question ever asked about Julia's relationship with left-at-the-altar Kiefer Sutherland is answered in this movie somewhere - except the question: "What did Julia ever see in Kiefer Sutherland?" Is Runaway Bride better than Julia's other Summer flick, Notting Hill? No, not nearly, but whereas Hugh and Julia make for a slow simmer, Richard and Julia go five-alarm. Julia's chemistry with Richard Gere is almost as mysterious as Richard's marriage to Cindy Crawford. Hey, I said "almost"! What really pisses me off about Runaway Bride is that the Dalai Lama probably saw this flick weeks before I did, and where's his review? Is the domain exiledspiritualleader.com already taken? Runaway Bride is from director Garry Marshall. To me, Marshall is best known as my answer to a names-in-the-news trivia question years ago when I was trying to win a Newsweek tote bag. Newsweek asked for a famous "Marshall," and the idiot who is yours truly submitted "Garry," even though I now suspect they were looking for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood. Fortunately, Thurgood had not directed as many movies at that time, and I got the tote bag anyway. Jeez, what if I answered "Penny"? Warning: Liking this movie means overlooking many lame-ass comic missteps. Like Peggy Fleming jokes, for example, which should at least be upgraded to Dorothy Hamill jokes, converted to Tonya Harding jokes, and finally transcend the genre into full-fledged Oksana Baiul jokes. Why craft a reference that goes so far over the audience's heads Rupert Murdoch could bounce cable signals off of it? There's the hotel desk clerk who dons VR gamer glasses between guests. Not funny. There's the rainbow treatment Julia gives Richard's hair that strangely resembles the traditional Tibetan flag. Not funny. Even the glorious Joan Cusack has more gifts wasted than a horny presidential intern. Damn! You'll think it's "Three's Company" all over again when the soundtrack fires up Hall & Oates' "Maneater." Holy VH-1 Reagan-Rock! On the cutting room floor: The scene where Richard slicks back his hair and bursts out singing "When you're a Jet you're a Jet all the way from your first cigarette to your last dying day." The excruciatingly slow and dialogue-free strolls don't help matters any either. I hate to watch movies where navel-obsessed people think while cloying Soft Rock hits blast in the background. It always comes off like an infomercial for "Romantic Moods," CD or Tape, $14,99. Call now - 1-800-FREE-TIBET. Major credit cards accepted. An infinitesimal portion of our profits go to fund the hopeless but chic cause of Tibetan freedom. Our motto: "Don't be a whiner, make a statement to Chiner!" What's mystifying about this movie is the notion that the premise - a woman dumping one groom after another - is interesting enough to merit what Richard describes as the magazine "cover story" he's working on. Yawn! What magazine is this, Ignored at the Checkout Counter Weekly? If Richard's supposed to be an edgy columnist who "goes out on a limb," then why do I feel like slitting mine? What product placement for USA Today! Not only is everyone reading it, but they're all reading it aloud! Are they putting a ruler under each line? Are they sounding out the words phonetically? Known for controversy the way its known for Sunday editions, USA Today fires Richard after he writes one misogynistic diatribe too many, forcing fellow columnist Larry King to marry every offended female reader, one at a time. "In this life that you share together, may your individuality strengthen your love," says this flick, banging you over the head with its not so subtle message. Nevertheless, it's a sentiment hard to argue with in a breezy summer romance worth having. Copyright 1999 Mark Ramsey. All rights reserved.

If you liked Star Wars, don't read this, because you'll probably be offended. Do NOT read this unless you've already seen the movie. Save it until after you see it, then read it. If you have no plans to see the movie, well then it doesn't matter because you're not a fan and won't get anything out of this any way.... James Rudy STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE: THE ABRIDGED SCRIPT By Rod Hilton FADE IN: INT. SPACESHIP LIAM NEESON It is vitally important we enter trade negotiations with the federation. EWAN MCGREGOR I agree. This one planet and how it trades with other planets is certainly an important enough topic to be the entire plot of a Star Wars film. INT. SPACESHIP - MAIN DECK EVIL ALIEN Werr. What wirr we do now? My evil, obviousry Asian race must prevair. I wirr not face de Jedi. Send de droid. INT. SPACESHIP - BACK TO THE JEDI A droid enters. LIAM NEESON I sense a disturbance in the force. EWAN MCGREGOR Well, shit. Suddenly, numerous pieces of CGI enter and begin attacking the Jedi. The Jedi use the high concentration of midichlorians in their bodies to use the force to destroy the CGI. They run outside. EXT. NABOO They run until they smack into some more CGI. JAR JAR Who might you be? LIAM NEESON (staring in the general direction of Jar Jar, but not really staring at him) I am a Jedi. There are bad things coming. Take me to your homeland. JAR JAR I see. That is quite interesting. I will guide you to the land from which I have come. Suddenly, GEORGE LUCAS realizes the Jar Jar toys aren't selling well enough. JAR JAR (cont'd) Oh! Meesa sorry! Meesa ment to saysa: Weesa can go back to Jamaica mon, okeyday? EWAN MCGREGOR (staring at something right above Jar Jar) Good. Do you have a hotel room for me and Liam? We have..uh..Jedi business to attend to. JAR JAR Weesa can smokesa some ganja, mon. AUDIENCE Die. Die, Jar Jar. Nobody likes you. INT. SPACESHIP - MAIN DECK The queen appears over some kind of thing which appears to be better in technology than the kinds of things in the original trilogy. NATALIE PORTMAN I am the queen. You've gone too far this time. I will tell the senate and you will be in a lot of trouble. EVIL ALIEN I'm so sorry, Amidala. NATALIE PORTMAN No, no, I'm Padme now. EVIL ALIEN I thought when in the makeup, you were the queen. NATALIE PORTMAN No, I'm whoever is playing the queen at the time. The voice changes don't help you figure this out. EVIL ALIEN Stop trying to confoose me! Droids, capture the queen.. or Padme.. er.. just capture everyone! LIAM and EWAN and, fuck, JAR JAR too take NATALIE PORTMAN and other members of her staff onto a ship and they escape. They go to Tatooine. INT. TATOOINE - SOME SHOP WHERE JAKE LLOYD IS HELD SLAVE JAKE LLOYD Hi there! Golly I'm cute. NATALIE PORTMAN You certainly are, little boy. JAKE LLOYD I'm the only one disturbed by the fact that I'm gonna bone you in episode two? LIAM NEESON Jake, I need you to have a pod race so I can get the parts I need and free you. JAKE'S MOM No, I won't allow him to pod race. He'll get hurt. (pause) Ok, I will. Nevermind. Good luck. They pod race. It looks really COOL. GEORGE LUCAS (attempting subtlety) Oh! Look! There's a video game of this scene... uh.. buy it! Hey, I had to sacrifice a part of my grand vision for these movies to include a part that could be turned into a game, so buy it or I'll do it even more in episode 2. JAKE wins! He has to leave his mother, which will become very important in the next movie. He also has to leave his protocol droid, THREEPIO. AUDIENCE He built C-3PO? Why wasn't this ever mentioned in the original trilogy? GEORGE LUCAS Because I just made it up. Speaking of stuff I'm just making up, how do you like the midichlorian bullshit I pulled out of my ass? They all get into their ship and go to Coruscant. INT. CORUSCANT - JEDI COUNCIL LIAM NEESON I want to train this boy. YODA Nope. Sorry. Too old the boy is. Clouded his future seems. Vague my worries are. LIAM NEESON Well, he is the chosen one. He will bring balance to the force. I'm training him. SAMUEL L. JACKSON Yoda told you no, muthafucka. What the fuck is wrong with you, bitchass? I'll fuckin' kill you! I'm gonna be a fuckin bad ass in the next two fuckin movies, you know. My toy has a fuckin lightsaber. LIAM NEESON I'm going to go over your head and train him myself, then. So there. He exits. INT. GALACTIC SENATE MEETING IAN MCDIARMID Damn I'm evil. Suddenly, we see E.T! This does not make the film HYPER- CUTESEY like Return of the Jedi, but CLEVER. EXT. NABOO NATALIE PORTMAN I am either the queen or Padme now. Regardless, your cheesy-looking race of annoying, unrealistic characters need to ally with our badly acting race of creatures so we can capture this one guy. BOSS NASS One guy? The climax of this film revolves entirely around us capturing one, pretty insignificant guy? Doesn't that make this whole thing kinda pointless? NATALIE PORTMAN No more pointless than the fact that this entire film revolves around taxes on trade and the cutting off of one, pathetic little planet half-filled with annoying creatures. They go after the bad guy or whatever. Who cares? Finally DARTH MAUL shows up for a prolonged fight sequence. Darth wears black boots, a black cloak, a black shirt, has a red lightsaber, wears red and black face paint, and has horns. He is EVIL. Meanwhile, the Naboo people go after this one insignificant guy and we really don't care. Meanwhile, the Gungans go against a bunch of droids and we really don't care except we want the Gungans to die. Meanwhile, Anakin takes off into space to join the space- battle, which is mostly over by the time he arrives. We care a little bit. INT. SOME KIND OF THINGY WITH SOME RED FORCE FIELDS MAUL, LIAM, and EWAN all have a huge lightsaber battle which has had a lot of effort put into the choreography and is thousands of times better than any other lightsaber battle in a Star Wars film. AUDIENCE Whoa! This is really cool! Suddenly, we go back to one of the other three stupid battles going on at the time. Eventually, we return to the good one. DARTH MAUL (menacing as hell) Grrr. Eventually, MAUL stabs LIAM, which is very surprising, especially to those of us who bought the film score which has a song whose title gives away the ending. He then kicks EWAN into a shaft. EWAN grabs onto something on the side and holds on for dear life. EWAN MCGREGOR Well, you certainly are an experienced fighter and there is little question you could kick pretty much anyone's ass. DARTH MAUL (cont'd) Muahahahaha. Slowly, EWAN uses the force to grab LIAM'S lightsaber, jump up out of the shaft, over MAUL, press the button on the saber, and slice MAUL in half while MAUL stands there like an idiot and does nothing at all. He dies. EXT. SPACE JAKE LLOYD Whoaaaaa! I'm in space! Now this is pod racing! Yipee! Uh oh! Man, I'm so cute. JAKE goes into a hangar, where the main reactor for the ship is kept. He accidentally blows it to SHIT. JAKE LLOYD (cont'd) Uh oh! I better leave! Let's leave Artoo! They exit quickly. The ship explodes, which stops all the droids and just makes everything great, because it's always enjoyable when a serious conflict is resolved with a slapstick accident. EXT. THE STREETS OF NABOO The Gungans are dancing and such, still alive. A huge party ensues. AUDIENCE Wow! Watching this party and all this celebration has convinced me that the tiny, pathetic problem that has been taken care of is actually really significant! Hooray! Suddenly, the AUDIENCE realizes that behind all the mindless celebration and kiddie cartoon bullshit, what actually happened was the future-emperor has actually manipulated everything, come into great power, and that one tiny problem has actually been resolved, but thousands more have been created. GEORGE LUCAS Three years, suckers. I'd make them come out sooner, but I work very hard on my films, as I am an independent filmmaker due to my disgust with Hollywood's commercialism. Now go buy some Star Wars toys!

Gibson certainly did re-shoot scenes of the movie, and added narration, which apparently was a bane of contention between Helgeland and himself, and one of the reasons why Helgeland was dismissed. I do believe it was Helgeland, however, who wanted the movie to have a bleached look, which for me gives the film even more character.

(AP) - The makers of the surprise hit horror movie "The Blair Witch Project" are being sued by a former partner who says he was cheated out of a credit on the film and deserves some of the millions of dollars the movie is reaping. Sam Barber, an Orlando filmmaker, said that his company paid for much of the movie's preproduction costs and that he should have been listed as a producer or executive producer in the credits. He also claims that director Dan Myrick and Myrick's girlfriend broke into his office and took documents, a master copy of the film and other tapes. Barber is suing Myrick - one of the film's two directors - Myrick's girlfriend, Kristal Jordan, and producer Greg Hale. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (AP) - Julia Roberts and Richard Gere's reunion lovefest "Runaway Bride" ran away with the record for a romantic comedy debut and outpaced a trio of horror films over the weekend. "Bride" led the box office with $35.1 million, easily beating "The Blair Witch Project," the shark-infested "Deep Blue Sea" and the spooky "The Haunting." The previous record for a romance romp was $27.7 million over Memorial Day weekend by "Notting Hill," also starring Roberts, whose career began soaring when she paired with Gere in 1990's "Pretty Woman."

The BBC verified that it is indeed working on a Who film and that it expects to make casting announcements, etc., in August. One report has Gary Oldman taking on the coveted role of the Doctor, a job he has said he would take if it were offered. SFX also heard from a "reliable source" that the starring role "has been offered to a black American actor of some significance, but with a British actor as back-up." -=> * <=- During a recent meeting with the press in Montreal, Canada, John Travolta revealed that there may be a sequel to his upcoming film adaptation of the famous L. Ron Hubbard SF book Battlefield Earth. "It's been a big undertaking because it's a 1,000 page book," Travolta explained. So Travolta said he decided to shoot only the first half of the book for the initial movie and save the rest of the novel for a possible sequel. He also said that the film has nothing to do with Scientology, the religion founded by Hubbard which Travolta is a member of. Battlefield Earth is currently shooting in Quebec, with Travolta playing the villain role as well as co-producing the picture. Travolta revealed his character is "nine feet tall. He's got talons for hands, long hair, an extended head. But you'll still recognize me." The story of Battlefield takes place 800 years in the future, when a race of vicious aliens is trying to subjugate the last surviving humans on Earth. Travolta is playing the alien chief of security. -=> * <=- Steven Spielberg is hoping to get Saving Private Ryan star Matt Damon to join the cast of his upcoming SF flick Minority Report, according to Variety. Damon is being wooed to play the villain role opposite Tom Cruise, who will star as a futuristic cop in a society where killers are arrested for murders they plan to commit. The movie is based on the Philip K. Dick short story of the same name and was adapted by Jon Cohen, although it's now being revised by Out of Sight writer Scott Frank. Minority Report is a joint production by DreamWorks and Fox, with filming set to begin in October for a summer 2000 release. -=> * <=- Jan de Bont's special-effects scarefest The Haunting took home $33 million during its debut weekend in spite of harsh reviews from critics. Variety reported that the film's impressive opening handily outstripped industry expectations, and that the movie attracted an audience comprised mostly of the 25-and-under crowd. Disney's Inspector Gadget grabbed $22 million in its first three days of release, although it too faced bad press from reviewers. Meanwhile, the limited-release, low-budget horror flick The Blair Witch Project picked up another $2 million in ticket sales during its second week, a 30 percent increase over its opening numbers. In just 10 days Blair has earned about $5 million even though it's only playing in 31 theaters. The film will expand to another 1,000 screens in the United States and Canada come July 30. -=> * <=- Universal Pictures has hired Stephen Sommers to write and direct a sequel to the recent box-office hit The Mummy, which has grossed more than $150 million during its U.S. domestic run. Sommers served as the screenwriter and director for The Mummy, and Universal credits him for that film's surprising popularity among moviegoers. "It was Stephen's unique vision for The Mummy that was the driving force behind its success, and we're both very pleased that he will be bringing his talent, imagination and enthusiasm on board for a sequel," Universal's co-chairmen Stacey Snider and Brian Mulligan told The Hollywood Reporter. In addition to hiring Sommers, Universal is reportedly hoping to bring back virtually the entire cast of The Mummy for the sequel, including Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Oded Fehr, Arnold Vosloo and Kevin J. O'Connor. The rumor was that the second film would take place primarily in London, but now reports say the film will be centered in Egypt with only a few scenes in England. The Mummy is a remake of the 1932 Boris Karloff film of the same name. -=> * <=- Dimension Films has signed The X-Men and Spider-Man comic book writer Scott Lobdell to a two-year, five-picture development deal. According to Variety, the pact also gives Lobdell a first-look option to develop TV shows and comics for Dimension. The first picture Lobdell will work on is a big screen adaption of his comic book Hellhole, which he created with Adam Pollina. Hellhole is published by Image and tells the story of a secret police force that keeps the world safe from supernatural forces. -=> * <=- Earth: Final Conflict executive producer David Kirschner and Imposter producer Marty Katz have teamed up to develop Brent Hanley's screenplay Frailty. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the psychological thriller has been described as Seven meets The Shining. The picture centers around a single father and his two young boys, who may or may not be able to identify demons. This puts the children in conflict with their evil-eradicating dad since one son sees the father as a hero while the other thinks the father is a demon. Kirschner and Katz are currently searching for a director to helm the picture, which will begin shooting in 2000. -=> * <=- Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar will reportedly make her next movie appearance in the film adaptation of the Thomas Harris novel Hannibal. Hannibal is a sequel to the hit movie The Silence of the Lambs. -=> * <=- Pixar Animation Studios, the company behind such computer-animated wonders as Toy Story and A Bug's Life, may be working on a new version of Disney's classic SF film Tron. According to ZDNN, an unidentified source at Pixar said the studio is currently trying to decide whether to remake the original film or create a sequel. Toy Story director John Lassiter is reportedly heading the project, which would make sense because he credits Tron as one of his early inspirations. Although Pixar would not confirm the story, ZDNN's source said production on the new Tron film will start once the company completes work on Toy Story 2. -=> * <=- Ray Park, who has become famous to SF fans for his portrayal of Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I, has joined the cast of Bryan Singer's X-Men movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Park will play the role of the evil henchman Toad in the Fox project. Oscar nominee Bruce Davison (Longtime Companion) has also signed on to the film and will take on the all-important character of Sen. Kelly. Kelly is a powerful political opponent to the X-Men, a group of outcast mutant superheroes.

The first time was 15 years ago. It's awesome. It's kind of funny because the original paperback edition had a sticker on it that said, "Soon to be a major motion picture" and the painting of "Johnny" (the main character of the book) on the front of the book looked an awful lot like that actor from the movie "Mega Force" The guy with the beard. So I waited anxiously for it but gave up after a couple of years, now finally it's being made into a movie. The story line of the book has several distinct breaks in it so it could be made into 3 movies easily if they wanted too. There's a good break right in the middle too so the 2 movie idea should work out pretty good. With Travolta being so passionate about it hopefully the movie will stay true to the book.

Nolan" Subject: [MV] FIVE FLICKS ENTER AN ALREADY-CROWDED FIELD Date: 05 Aug 1999 11:23:21 -0700 FIVE FLICKS ENTER AN ALREADY-CROWDED FIELD The hottest movie season in years is about to get even hotter, as five new entries arrive on screens this week. Already playing is DICK (PG-13) a comedy about two teenage girls (Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams) who develop a crush on Richard Nixon and blunder into the Watergate affair. Dan Hedaya plays the beleaguered President. Opening Friday are four more offerings, ranging from sophisticated to spooky to silly. THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR (R) is a creditable remake of the 1967 "bank caper" movie about a wealthy man who robs banks mostly for the sport of it. Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo star. Bruce Willis heads up the cast of SIXTH SENSE (PG-13), a suspense/horror film about a young boy who "sees" dead people as if they were still alive. THE IRON GIANT (PG) is an ambitious animated sci-fi/adventure movie set in 1957, about a young boy in small-town Maine who befriends a giant robot from space. Voices for the characters are supplied by Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick, Jr., Cloris Leachman, John Mahoney, M. Emmet Walsh, and Vin Diesel as the Iron Giant. Advance word is very positive. Finally, there's MYSTERY MEN (PG-13), a comic adventure movie about a rag-tag band of not-so-super heroes with limited powers, who battle evil in their own odd way. The cast includes Hank Azaria, Janeane Garofalo, Greg Kinnear, William H. Macy, Lena Olin, Paul Rubens, Ben Stiller and Tom Waits.

"FINAL FANTASY - THE MOVIE" Actors Alec Baldwin, Steve Buscemi, Peri Gilpin and James Woods will lend their voices to the Columbia Pictures movie "Final Fantasy - The Movie." It's billed as the first computer generated animated motion picture with "photo-real" characters. The film - slated for release in 2001 - is intended to simulate human emotions and movements more realistically than current animated films. Filming is under way in Honolulu on the adventure movie...which is about saving the Earth and its people from the "ultimate enemy." (Thanks to UPI's Joe Fasbinder in Los Angeles) -- I believe in dragons, good men and other fantasy creatures.

(AP) - Are you ready for more dino-mania? Steven Spielberg has hatched a storyline and Joe Johnston has been picked to direct "Jurassic Park 3." Universal and Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment are shooting for an early 2000 production start. The script is being written by Craig Rosenberg in close collaboration with Johnston, who directed "Jumanji" and "October Sky." Last year, Spielberg said he planned to direct the third installment, but he will be busy directing Tom Cruise in "Minority Report." The "Jurassic Park" dinosaur franchise has earned more than $1.5 billion in box office revenue. The original grossed $913 million and "The Lost World" sequel earned more than $600 million. -=> * <=- (InfoBeat) - "Runaway Bride" was last weekend's runaway at the box office, but "The Blair Witch "Project" scared away the rest of the competition in the minds of InfoBeat readers. "Blair Witch," a low-budget faux-documentary about the mysterious disappearance of three witch-hunters in Maryland, earned the most positive responses (70%) and most total votes (896) when pitted against "Bride," the smart-shark suspenser "Deep Blue Sea," and big-budget ghost story "The Haunting" in InfoBeat's inaugural "Flicks Picks" reader's poll. "Easily the scariest movie of the past 10 years, not even 'Silence of the Lambs' can match it for relentless, white-knuckle creepiness. No cheap scares, no gore, just squirm in your seat terror," one reader wrote about "Blair." That sentiment was echoed by 498 voters who rated "Blair Witch" "great." Fourteen percent found the film "didn't live up to the hype," but another 14% also found the film achieved near-great status. If you believe the box office, "Runaway Bride" was the movie-goers' choice, as it earned $35.1 million last weekend, outpacing "Blair" by $5.9 million. But almost half InfoBeat readers were equally split between calling the film either "great" or "below average." Out of 676 votes, 23% found the chemistry between stars Richard Gere and Julia Roberts good, but the film as a whole a "cliched" experience. But readers who wanted to see that kind of movie got what they were looking for. "It was enjoyable. Gere and Roberts still maintain the same charisma and chemistry that poured out from their first pairing in 'Pretty Women.' There are many different situations in which they could be cast, but the feeling that they belong together would remain prominent." Meanwhile, the two special-effects-driven scare flicks paring off against "Blair" and "Bride" didn't fair nearly as well. "The Haunting," sporting another big-name cast in Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta-Jones, was widely panned by InfoBeaters, with almost 50% finding it a sub-par experience, especially those that had already seen "Blair." "Too much CGI, look what the 'Blair Witch' did with just suspense. Jan De Bont is a hack!" All told, 28% found it below average, while another 22% really disliked it, ranking it a "1." Only 13% thought it was great, while slightly more (123 voters) found it above average. As for killer sharks, "Deep Blue Sea" found itself to be a real love-it-or-hate-it film. While the majority of respondents said it was poor, 38% said "great" or "near-great." "Look out it's going to eat me ... what a surprise," was one response, tempered with a solid, "Good special effects. Fun to be scared of the ocean again!" Look for "Flick Picks" polls each Monday and tell us what you think, then tune in Fridays for the results. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - After a 2-1/2-year hiatus since Jack Nicholson finished work on Oscar-winning "As Good as It Gets," a new picture is being developed with him in mind. Universal's "American Caesar" would reunite Nicholson with his "Wolf" producers Douglas Wick and Harry Gittes. The drama is described as a modern-day Caesar and Brutus story set in the U.S. Army. William Nicholson ("Shadowlands") is scripting the project, and sources say Universal is making it a high priority. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Last weekend's opening of "Runaway Bride" has increased interest in the original cinematic pairing of Richard Gere and Julia Roberts under director Garry Marshall. Sales of Buena Vista Home Video's "Pretty Woman" jumped up to 18,225 units last week, moving the title up to 17th for the week after it had climbed to 26th the previous week, according to the VideoScan data tracking service. But "Pretty Woman" has been a consistent strong seller year in and year out, with more than 311,524 copies sold this year. The 1990 film, a romantic comedy about a man who falls in love with a hooker, has sold more than 240,000 copies every year since VideoScan began tracking sales in 1993, with peaks of 660,000 units in 1997 and 805,000 last year. -=> * <=- MALIBU, Calif. (AP) - Actor Robert Downey Jr. was sentenced to three years in prison Thursday for violating probation from a 1996 drug conviction. Municipal Court Judge Lawrence Mira, who presided over Downey's original case in 1996, said he had given the actor, who earned an Oscar nomination for "Chaplin," many chances to rehabilitate himself. But, he said, Downey has manipulated doctors and psychiatrists who have examined him. "I don't think we have any alternative," Mira said. "We have used them all." Defense attorney Robert Shapiro argued that Downey, 34, should again receive probation and be allowed to continue treatment at a drug treatment center. "This is a person who is suffering from a disease he can't control. Even the threat of prison isn't enough of a deterrent," Shapiro said. A clean-shaven Downey, who walked into court wearing an orange Los Angeles County jail jumpsuit with slicked-back hair, told the judge he understood why the court's patience had run out. But he pleaded to be given another chance to rehabilitate himself at a drug treatment center called Impact. "It's been the right program at the right time for me," he said. "I feel whatever decision you make will be the right one. But I feel a transition has happened to me." But Mira said his overriding concern was the safety of the public. The judge gave Downey 201 days for time served and ordered him to pay restitution of $600. Downey nodded to several friends as he was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs.

It's been a long time since a movie has scared me, and Blair Witch finally did it for me - honestly. I can only thank God for the imaginations of the movie makers of this film. I didn't think that a movie could be made that could scare me again (as, for instance, "Halloween" did when I was 11 or "The Exorcist" did when I was 16). These people did it! Good job! Can it be done again? Now, I have a question. The lady that I was with did not find "Blair Witch" scary and others I have talked to (Cranky Critic) did not find "Blair Witch" scary either. The person that was with me was scared by "Scream". Although I thought "Scream" was good for it's parody of the slasher genre, I did not find it at all scary. It seems as though "The Blair Witch Project" invokes two emotions. Either 1) boredom or 2) Horror. I could not figure how my date could not feel uneasy and frightened during the watching of the "Blair Witch" and she could not figure out how I could have been frightened by it. What is it that makes some people feel the fright of "Blair Witch" while others feel nothing?? Here's my experiment/question: If you were frightened by "Scream" were you also frightened by "The Blair Witch"? And if you were not frightened by "Scream", were you frightened by "The Blair Witch" (as I was)? I can't figure it out, but this might explain a lot in my mind.

I think the answer to this is very simple: imagination. In Blair Witch, nothing is explicitly shown. We do not ever see what is pursuing the film students, there is no gore (save one extremely creepy moment), and there is not even any atmospheric music to set mood. Everything in this movie is suggested and left up to the viewer to assemble in his or her own mind. H.P. Lovecraft said that the greatest fear is the fear of the unknown. The unknown is what Blair Witch offers in spades. In order to make the film scary, the viewer has to a) place him/herself in the situation of the film students, and b) use his or her imagination. It's just like in The Creature from the Black Lagoon. For the first half of the movie, all we are shown are shadows, rustling bushes, and occasional glimpses of the creature's hands or footprints (webprints?). It's kind of scary (as scary as a 50's horror flick can be), but more importantly it's mysterious and suspenseful. But in the end, we get to see the whole creature and realize that it's nothing more than an actor in a ridiculous suit. Because there's no more mystery, because the creature is no longer an unknown, all the suspense is lost. In Blair Witch, SINCE all we're offered are distant noises, strange landmarks, and just a general sense of fear from the actors, at no point is that realism extinguished. We can't take comfort and say, "Oh, look, it's all just a guy in a rubber suit. Phewwww!" Also, the film is like an abstract painting, everyone who looks at it sees something unique and individual. In Blair Witch, the terror comes from wherever YOU personally assign it, which is infinitely scarier than most films because only YOU understand why you're so freaked out. The reason some people found this movie boring was because they couldn't enter into it. They couldn't use their imagination or couldn't place themselves in the situation. I thought Blair Witch was simply brilliant. A film that at no point patronized or condescended the viewer, a film that showed the power of an idea in the face of the Hollywood financial machine, and a film that scared the holy hell out of me.

It's either a hate or love film. I personally loved it, and think it ranks in my top 10 movies of all time. The only movie in the longest time that has actually scared me. Everyone I know who have seen it either think it was amazing, or the worst movie ever. It all has to do with you're movie tastes and imagination. If all you're interested in is the traditional show-everything scary movie, with gliding cameras and perfectly flowing script, then don't see this movie. And if you don't have an imagination or ability to see this as being so much more real than the other stuff, then don't see it. This is the kind of movie like others have said, it haunts you later, and you get to thinking about it after you've watched it. My hat's off to Artisan for having the guts to release this into the mainsteam movie watcher audience; I can't wait for the sequel. BTW, just out of curiosity since I mentioned something about it above, what is everyone else's favorite movies of all time? Like top 10?

Clearly there's a lot of people who don't realise before going in that Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Neve Campbell have no parts to play in the film. It's amazing to me that people will endure dross like Urban Legend, The Haunting, In Dreams, Inspector Gadget, Wild Wild West and I Still Know... and just accept it's awfulness without a word, but because this little indie didn't live up to the hype and scare the absolute bejesus out of them they get all upset. But I guess people stand in front of the Mona Lisa all the time and mutter "I don't get what all the fuss ia about". ----------------- {{{OZ}}} ------------------- ------- http://www.filmink-online.com -------- ---------------------------------------------- Want to earn money on your website?

I was not frightened by "Scream." I enjoyed it's parodies as you did, but didn't find it scary. I don't think I've seen a scary movie since "Psycho." "Blair Witch" scared me. I think it scared me because it utilized the imagination creating the story so well. Even the times when the screen was black I couldn't take my eyes off the screen because I could see everything going on in my head. That's what made it real for me and that's what made it so scary. It's the scariest movie I've seen in decades. ~~~~~ Diane Christy (Samantha and Joshua's Mom) Jefferson, LA http://www.geocities.com/~dchristy10/ mailto:dchristy10@earthlink.net ICQ #12904700 on Instant Messenger ~~~~~ [ To leave the movies mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe ] [ movies" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Tarsi Subject: [MV] The Blair Witch - YIPES! (spoils) Date: 08 Aug 1999 23:02:12 -0500 (CDT) Just to put my plug in on this one, I did happen to see this movie just this weekend. Technically, very good. Story wise, very decent. Technically it reminded me of an amateur film gone pro, which was the intended feel, I think, since it was "supposedly" the file recovered from the kids. It actually made me sick in the stomach to see the horrid bouncing up and down of the camera, which just started the bad feeling in me, but then to add on top of that the sheer horror of being stuck in the woods with that terror was impressive....for this moviegoer, it simply scared the living daylights out of me. ANd it wasn't a "BOO!" scare like "I Know What You Did Last Summer" or such....more like "Scream", except remove any semblence of fun, humor, etc...pop culture gone. Much more potent. The fear bested my thoughts for at least a good two days, if not more. Recommended for those who have harder stomachs (or psyches) than I.

See, I sit here and claim that I don't like horror films. Well, I have watched the Screams and the I Still Knows and the Urban Crap, and have to say that when it really comes down to it, none of them really scared me. However, there are horror films that have left their mark on me. Halloween (also, I was like 10 when I saw it!!:-), Exorcist, Psycho. Then there are the pseudo horror films that at least are enjoyable (The Thing, Relic, Lost Boys, Man Who Fell to Earth). They did not necessarily scare me, but they were just enjoyable films that I got into. However, from what I understand of Blair Witch, it will grab ahold of you. Some of the more, uh, skoffing, amongst us might very well criticise the movie after seeing it, but days later, when a storm is brewing, and the branches are scraping against the window, then talk to us:-) There are some very powerful movies I have seen. Platoon. Clockwork Orange. The Handmaid's Tale (Actually, I read the book first, and that just allowed me to put images with the story). Platoon, we walked out of the theatre into a cold winter night, and yet you felt like you had just left Vietnam. I have not watched Blair Witch yet, and not sure that I will anytime soon. However, I truly believe that it is a powerful movie, and will effect a lot of people for a long time to come. And come back and tell us, after a dark night, perhaps after telling ghost stories around the campfire, that the movie was not brought back to you:-) >BTW, just out of curiosity since I mentioned something about it above, what is >everyone else's favorite movies of all time?

I also forgot to mention my All Time Horror Movie - ALIEN. This movie scared the bejeesus outta me when I was younger. To me it's not a Sci-Fi flick, rather a scary movie set in space with the creature as the ghost, and the Nostromo as the Haunted House. It's the confines of the Nostromo and the lack of salvation outside the walls the bring on the claustrophobia and fear. A new height in scary movies was reached, and to my mind, has yet to be bettered.

Mini-movie spectacular everybody’s talking about. A young crew of filmmakers gets lost…in the “happiest place on Earth!” Thanks this week to Dan Myrick, who co-directed The Blair Witch project, and his girlfriend for their praise of my little tribute. I appreciate it! Also thanks to Broadcast.com/Yahoo, which is about to start streaming the video, due to the incredible demand and interest it has received.

Everyone's familiar with the five senses: - Smell - This is the sense that tells you Mickey Rourke is in the house. - Touch - The temptation to do this is what makes Patricia Arquette a star - Hearing - Being forced to do this is what keeps Patricia Arquette from becoming a bigger star - Sight - This is what you have if you're on the Web - Taste - This sense is virtually irrelevant, since it's in impossibly short supply in Hollywood. The sixth sense, of course, is the one that tells you Winona Ryder will never know your name no matter how many times you mention her in MovieJuice. As the movie opens, Mrs. Bruce Willis is doting on her husband, reading his award citation aloud, fiddling with what's left of his hair, searching for a lost shaker of salt. But the trouble starts when a very upset guy in jockeys who's seen one too many X-Files episodes breaks into Bruce's home in ritzy downtown Philadelphia. Either it's Quentin Tarantino off his meds and out of ideas or a mentally disturbed former patient of shrink-man Bruce. After a life-altering trauma, Bruce takes on a new project - a boy who says he sees dead people. "Like Demi?" Bruce asks. "No, like Geena Davis," says the boy. Dead folks, you see, don't know they're dead - much like Buddy Ebson or the musical Cats. They're just walking around amidst the living, hoping for some long deserved credit from the Writer's Guild, a brief marriage to Shannon Doherty, a topless peek at Sarah Jessica Parker, or a guest shot on Touched by an Angel. If you look very hard, you can see them tugging at Jack Valenti's shirtsleeves: "Join us, Jack! We're rated 'R' for 'Return with us to the fiery depths of Hell, where we can thrust into pies as many times as we like and with complete impunity.'" The spooks congregate in Philly because a good cheesesteak is tough to come by in the afterlife. Furthermore, even Big Apple spooks are terrified by whiplash inducing New York taxi rides and out-of-body "buckle up" exhortations of Jackie Mason and Joan Rivers. "Pull over, Mohammad. Now!" Boy oh boy this flick makes Philly look creepy, although any town that erects a Rocky statue outside its museum of art doesn't need the help, if you ask me. The boy with the sixth sense lives in South Philly, or more specifically the fictional part of South Philly where people don't have South Philly accents, instead sounding fresh from a stint at Julliard and some course-work at the Yale School of Drama. There are so many dead folks in this flick, it's like a day with Turner Classic Movies. And most of the dead folks look like they're about to gobble brains and intestines for George Romero. "Brains!!! I want brains!!!" Is there a Marilyn Manson show in town? Was this casting call limited to Rose McGowan's little black book? Is Fairuza Balk trolling for boy-toys? Isn't that witty one Janeane Garofalo? Email dysfunctional@cKone.com. All credit to Bruce Willis whose hair-raising performance is ironic, given that his own hair couldn't see a raise if he shampooed with iron filings and towel-dried with a high-powered magnet. Bruce is dynamite in a nicely modulated performance that belies the fact that I don't know what a "nicely modulated" performance is. The scene where Bruce conducted a séance and spoke to the ghost of his missing hair and the "demonic comb from Hell" was particularly chilling. The Sixth Sense is one creepily clever concoction with a capper twistier than a Philly soft pretzel. In case you miss Boo Berry and Count Chocula, have a taste of The Sixth Sense.

The Seven Samurai, directed by Akira Kurosawa (1954) - even better than Rashomon. the development of the characters and the relationships between them is spectacular. A Clockwork Orange, directed by Stanley Kubrick (1971) - another very well-told story. what i love about this movie is how it begins by depicting alex as a horrible person, then slowly brings you over to his side when he comes out of prison, then in the end, shows you once again how horrible a person he really is. Johnny Got His Gun, directed by Dalton Trumbo (1971) - extremely upsetting movie about a man who is literally blown apart in world war i. almost entirely narrative, and filmed in a very grainy style (although it was also rather low-budget, and trumbo still hadnt quite recovered from his blacklisting). upsetting, but still a film worthy of watching. Gandhi, directed by Richard Attenborough (1982) - i'm sure most everyone has seen this film, but it is still an excellent film. excellent (in my estimation) portrayal of gandhi, which automatically lent itself to= greatness. Runaway Train, directed by Andrei Konchalovsky (1985) - another rather obscure film on my list, but another excellent character study. the roles which i will always remember jon voight and eric roberts for. jon voight gives a spectacular performance. The Shawshank Redemption, directed by Frank Darabont (1994) - well, a few of you have already put this on your list. another of the greatest character-driven films of all-time, this one doing a particularly good and touching job of developing the friendship between red and andy. the ending is beautiful. 12 Angry Men, directed by William Friedkin (1997) - yes, this is the newer version. i have seen the older version of this film, but still think that this one is much better. in particular, the portrayal of the racist by mykelti williamson is very well-done, but the entire cast (specifically lemmon, gandolfini, mueller-stahl, george c. scott and hume cronyn) is excellent. Exotica, directed by Atom Egoyan (1994) - yet another spectacular character study (can you see what sorts of films i prefer? heh). employs egoyan's typical non-literal storytelling technique, which, by the manner in which the story unfolds, lends itself to more curiousity in the earlier parts of the film, and increases the impact of the story's end. The Professional, directed by Luc Besson (1994) - while many think of this as an action film, i can watch this film without ever really noticing the action. the acting by reno, portman and gary oldman is all top-rate, with danny aiello lending a hand. great, great story, and a touching ending. and well, i suppose i have to call this my favourite film (although this DOES make it 11, but who cares): Walkabout, directed by Nicolas Roeg (1971) - what can i say about this film in a short form? the entirety of the film is marvelous. from the mystery surrounding what happens to the children's father, to the symbolism throughout the film, to the walls of various sorts that separate the boy and the girl from each other. if you want to see a film that studies various aspects of human nature and aspects of humanity that have been brought about by technological advances, watch this film. other excellent films: THX-1138 (1970), directed by George Lucas Swimming to Cambodia (1987), directed by Jonathan Demme 12 Monkeys (1995), directed by Terry Gilliam Bottle Rocket (1996), directed by Wes Anderson Schizopolis (1996), directed by Steven Soderbergh Sling Blade (1996), directed by Billy Bob Thornton The Sweet Hereafter (1997), directed by Atom Egoyan Citizen Kane (1941), directed by Orson Welles Yojimbo [The Bodyguard] (1961), directed by Akira Kurosawa sex, lies and videotape (1989), directed by Steven Soderbergh GoodFellas (1990), directed by Martin Scorsese Monster in a Box (1991), directed by Nick Broomfield Scent of a Woman (1992), directed by Martin Brest Crumb (1994), directed by Terry Zwigoff Fresh (1994), directed by Boaz Yakin Pulp Fiction (1994), directed by Quentin Tarantino Sleep With Me (1994), directed by Rory Kelly When a Man Loves a Woman (1994), directed by Luis Mandoki Ballot Measure 9 (1995), directed by Heather MacDonald Clean, Shaven (1995), directed by Lodge H.

Did you know Nicolas Roeg is still directing? His films are somewhat less... artistic these days. His biggest success in the last few years was Full Body Massage, with Bryan Brown and Mimi Rogers. It was apparently such a huge cable success that a sequel is planned. And if you haven't seen it, the title is pretty much the story. Bryan Brown is a wandering philosophising masseur, who teaches Mimi to be all zen while he rubs oil into her bits.

And sure enough, two hours later ushers were tracing what was left of the audience in chalk. Cause of death: Comic asphyxiation. Okay, okay, it's not that we were dead, only that we wished we were. Will you laugh at this movie? Sure, if you wire up to a Walkman and a Chris Rock tape. I know, you'll laugh in all the wrong places, but in Bowfinger, every place is wrong anyway. Fortunately and not a moment too soon, United Artist Cinemas appealed to the federal government which declared all Bowfinger theaters a disaster area, thereby making producer Brian Grazer eligible for relief funds, which is the only way he's gonna earn his nut back from this fiasco. What's gotten into Brian, anyway? No wonder Variety reports that Brian has been forced to wear socks recently, because toxic chemicals from those Italian loafers are leeching into his bloodstream, impairing his judgment and inducing what the Red Cross describes as "dementia of the deal." "The Con is On," proclaims the poster for this movie, and the con is most decidedly on, because the comedy is way, way off. And guess who's being conned, America? Blowfinger is one of the worst movies of the year. "The BOMB is on," I think you mean. I'll take my con on the cob, thank you. Five minutes into this flick, my lovely bride turned to me and said "This movie blows." "It'll get better," I replied hopefully and with more than a little crossing of fingers. It didn't. Incredibly, Steve Martin actually wrote this bow-finger to the audience. Steve's the same guy who wrote Roxanne, one of the greatest romantic comedies ever! Nowadays, however, it seems Steve has decided to prematurely release some posthumous unfinished draft works-in-progress. "Great script," says Steve's opening line in this movie, proving for once and for all the futility of positive affirmations. Hey Steve, this puppy needs more than a polish, it needs a contractor and an expense account at the Home Depot! Yep, the "wild and crazy guy" has yanked that arrow out of his head and is sticking it through yours and mine, folks. Will someone please explain to me how somebody as obviously talented as Eddie Murphy can make so many lousy career choices. Eddie is the Venus Fly-Trap of winged shitty scripts. Already, Eddie has entered the Henry-Fonda-Stars-in-"The-Swarm" phase of his career. That's the phase where stars lose roles to Lou Gossett, Jr. "Damn that Lou Gossett, Jr.," said Eddie in the Hollywood Reporter. "That bitch can kiss my ass, especially if he wears hot-pants and a midriff-baring tank top." Eddie plays "Kit Ramsey," who is described as one part Knight Rider, one part "the hottest, sexiest action star in the movies." Let's face it, Eddie would make one hell of a kick-ass action star, especially if the action happened in the back seat of his Benz and the bad guy was a badass in pumps. Although I admit the association of the name "Ramsey" with the terms "hot" and "sexy" tops off my subliminal ego tank, am I the only one who gets annoyed when movies make up names of big stars, then everyone in the movie fawns obsequiously over the faux celebrities? Don't phony star names blow the fantasy all to hell? Reputed "It" girl Heather Graham energetically slums her way through this flick like a fine thoroughbred greyhound chasing an "It" bunny around the high school track. If Heather makes many more movies like Bowfinger, she'd better take a picture of "It" so that "It" lasts longer. So Steve plays a schlocky filmmaker, a latter day Ed Wood, but without the vampires, the angora sweaters, or the development deal with Dimension Films. Get the picture? An unfunny movie about an unfunny movie. Can you possibly count the number of times Steve must have whispered to the studio suits "trust me"? "Steve and Eddie, Together for the First Time," the poster taunts us. Well, much like Hitler and Mussolini, let's hope it's the last. Copyright 1999 Mark Ramsey. All rights reserved.

For some reason, had ommitted Westerns! This time, some explanations. 2 criteria minimum that they must me: a. I can re-watch them effortlessly. b. will recall them or be haunted by them effortlessly. Enrique Bird 1930s Gone With the Wind [watched in 1961 or 1962 and bored then; love it, today!] Adventures of Robin Hood [greatest of swashbucklers - saw it in cinema in 1961!] A Tale of Two Cities [superb adaptation of a classic] Lost Horizon [always haunted by the closing narration] 1940s Casablanca [my top favorite] Rebecca [my runner-up] And Then There Were None(1946) [the remakes of these may have started the trend of awful remakes of great movies!] Maltese Falcon(Bogart) It's a Wonderful Life [how could I have forgotten this the first time around?] The Best Years of Our Lives [awfully long and masterfully gripping!] 1950s Ben Hur Swiss Family Robinson(1959?-Disney) [one of 2 movies I went to see in cinema at least 3 times! The other one, Hercules with Steve Reeves, while fun has not, alas, stood the test of time] The Ten Commandments Vertigo North by Northwest [the most fun Hitchcock movie] Sleeping Beauty (Disney) [again, how could I have omitted this at first? My 4 favorite Disneys are this, Poppins, 20000 Leagues, and Beauty & Beast] Scaramouche [a dark house to some, if you can do not miss!] Shane [the greatest Western of all] Gunfight at the OK Corral [sorry, I like My Darling Clementine and feel so-so about others OK Corral, but this is just gripping, awesome, and great song. Beside Douglas and Lancaster, all other pairs pale!] High Noon [a one of a kind classic!] 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 1960s Mary Poppins [#3 on my personal list] The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance [what a magnificent Western! And how much plot, action, acting, events, drama, etc. in just a regular 1 hour movie! Today, they would do a 10 hour mini-series!] 1970s The Godfather [saw it with rest of college Italian class! At time, shocked by my first sight of female breast and disturbed; now appreciate as a classic and just love to catch it on TV at whatever point I get it.] 1980s Field of Dreams [#4 on my personal list. Simply the greatest sports movie of all. Another one I love to catch at whatever point it is in.] 1990s Silence of the Lambs [great adaptation of a not to be missed novel. Foster is the best female characterization I have seen in any movie; a woman in what was formerly a man's position who acts feminine, not like a man, without acting wimpy. Please do not misunderstand my comment, ladies!] Schindler's List [just re-watched it again Sunday night after 10:00. I (again) went through it almost non-stop. Although I would rank as #5 in my personal list, this may just be by "habit". This is the one I have watched more often the last 3 years, so maybe it is now #1 without my knowing it. I am upset by how many friends and family do not want to watch it because of one or more of: 1. it is B/W; 2. it is too long; 3. it is about the Holocaust.] Beauty and the Beast (Disney) [Great, just great. I am very happy that I went to see it in the cinema. And I never have met anyone who did not like it after having seen it.] Note: I did not include any pre-1930s because I have seen too few. Also, excluded foreigns, which should be a separate list. For whatever it is worth, the old 1920's Napoleon is a long, incredible movie seeing experience, which violates my 2 excluding criteria. Also, the great 1946 Beauty and the Beast by Cocteau is a clear father (mother?) to the Disney version. And a great parent!

A lot of the comedy came from the specific actors in the roles - Ben Stiller is awkwardly funny and has good chemistry with Garafolo; Azaria is funny though his accent kinda got to me a bit (close to Professor Frink) Paul Ruebens was more annoying than humourous; Tom Waits is always neat to watch in movies and William H Macy seemed to be the only one who took the movie seriously. It either needed more of that or go the opposite direction and make it even more of a parody of superheroes. One more re-write or two and it would have been much more polished.

Comparing this to another summer comedy blockbuster - Austin Powers 2 - I seemed to laugh a lot more at AP 2 than at Bowfinger. This is a credit to Myers comedic improvs. As a story Bowfinger holds up much better than AP2 though. I was pleasantly amused by the tale of Bowfinger as he attempts to make a movie without the main star even knowing that he's in the film! Unfortunately, unlike Martin's last writing adventure, L.A.

Or so I thought based on what the previews made this film appear to be. I must say that I was very surprised with this movie and have found that the best word that describes it is 'creepy.' One friend even went so far to say that it is a tear-jerker thriller. Sixth Sense and Arlington Rd. are two of the best thrillers that Hollywood has made of late. Bruce Willis does a fine job as a child psychiatrist who has to figure out how to help his new 'client' while dealing with his own past. Clever and ....well... creepy! An 86%.

TINGLE - Terminal Paper Date: 15 Aug 1999 17:38:44 -0400 (EDT) TEACHING MRS. TINGLE – Terminal Paper by Mark Ramsey Click here for the full review! http://www.moviejuice.com/1999/teaching.htm August 15, 1999 What's this gossip about Warren Beatty running for president? Does this mean the first lady will be joined by the second lady, the third lady, and the fourth lady? Will new legislation require all lobbyists to be mother/daughter teams? What's the campaign slogan, "Warren Beatty for President: Show Me Your Tits"? From Dimension Films (the "Mr. Hyde" to Miramax's "Dr. Jekyll") comes a Heathers-like black comedy written and directed by Kevin Williamson, writer of the Scream franchise, the Dawson's Creek franchise, and the Jiffy Lube franchise. It's back-to-school and that means it's time for Teaching Mrs. Tingle. The awesomely talented Helen Mirren stars as Mrs. Tingle, and much like old Kris Kringle, she's the queen of tingle-ling. Mrs. Tingle you see is a mean and nasty old crone of a history teacher. And this single mingle Tingle has it in for our heroes, Katie Holmes and her crew. Katie, the Maggie Smith of the Clearasil set, is hero number one. I had trouble paying attention to Katie, though, because the real hottie was her friend Jo Lynn. With that dippy-flippy hair and those groovy capri pants, Jo Lynn should be screaming "Oh, Rob" as Dick Van Dyke tailspins over the ottoman. Hot as Hades though she may be, she's also a not-too-bright aspiring actress who likes Stanislavsky because he designs such cute accessories. On the other hand, Katie's not completely ice-cold. There's one steamy love scene here where the camera pans away to the fireplace just in time for you to say "why the hell is the camera panning to the fireplace NOW!?" If I wanted to see a fireplace I'll buy a log! Katie's out for an "A" in history so she can win a scholarship and escape small town living. She's Eva Gabor in Green Acres. Jo Lynn, meanwhile, struggles to spell an "A" in history. As she bobs her head, she triggers a persistent jingling noise. Something, it seems, is loose in there, and I'm not talkin' about thoughts! Jingle, jingle, meet Mrs. Tingle. Stuff happens, and Katie is wrongly accused of cheating. So she and her posse tie the Tingler to the bed (which isn't as hot as it sounds, believe me. Helen Mirren's hottie days were the proverbial Days of Yore). Problem is, the foot shots. LOTS of foot shots. Yikes, Mrs. Tingle! Do you wear socks or nuclear containment receptacles? Have your toes been rioting? Call in the peacekeepers, there's a ground war on down there! Those ten little piggies need to be hosed down! Did the Blair Witch eat your cuticles? Are your shoes shaped like a "Z"? You need more than a pedicure, Mrs. T., you need a pedi-miracle! Thanks to her captive status, Mrs. Tingle escapes the clutches of special guest link to high schools from the 80's, Molly Ringwald. Molly plays the principal's assistant with all the finesse and verve we'd expect from someone whose career has been coasting on fumes since the Reagan administration. And, from the looks of her, those fumes are noxious, indeed. Maybe it's just me but there's something inherently funny about a character shouting "Stop right there, Mrs. Tingle!" as he holds her at bay with a crossbow. A crossbow? Are there vampires about? Are the hounds on the moors tonight? Not since the sling shot has there been a more awkward weapon. Have we scheduled a duel with Braveheart? If we're storming a medieval castle, will someone bring a Britney Spears MP3? I only go into battle with tunes, dammit! With all the teen crap out nowadays, Teaching Mrs. Tingle is a flick worth seeing. It's good! It's Kevin's chance to exercise his Hitchcock muscles and advance from the irony-laced fright of Scream to something really terrifying: Helen Mirren's horrifying pedal extremities!

The ghostly thriller starring Bruce Willis as a therapist treating a boy who talks to the dead grossed $70 million in its first 10 days. The Steve Martin-Eddie Murphy comedy "Bowfinger," about a luckless producer who tries to con his way into big-time show business, bowed in at No. 2 with $18.2 million in its first weekend. "The Blair Witch Project" slipped from second to third place with $15.3 million. "Runaway Bride" with $14.2 million and "The Thomas Crown Affair" with $10.2 million rounded out the top five. -=> * <=- (UltimateTV.com) - Wayne Campbell put him on the map, and now Dieter will make him the $20 million dollar man. Former "Saturday Night Live" star Mike Myers, whose summer movie "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" has earned nearly $200 million, will receive $20 million to play the pretentious German talk show host Dieter, a character he originated on the NBC comedy a decade ago when he joined the series in 1989. Myers is set to sign a two-picture deal with Universal and Imagine Entertainment, which will net him $20 million to star in "Sprockets," and another $20 million for a second undisclosed film. The Canadian comedian initially signed on to write the "Sprockets" script last year for $10 million. Thanks to the success of "The Spy Who Shagged Me" that figure doubled. In the film Dieter travels to the U.S. to find his beloved monkey after the primate is kidnapped.

The movie was supposed to be more of a psychological thriller, not a Scream type scary movie where it's so gory and scary you have to close your eyes. I never really experienced any sense of scariness like that, and I would too be interested in knowing what age group this person is in. It's possibly that if it's at a child's age, they found it scary, but didn't understand it all. Either way, it's popular for different people for different reasons. jkrudy wrote: > Who the HELL are you?

Redford will produce and direct the $70-million project, which is expected to begin shooting next month in Georgia. Smith would play the title character, a sagacious black caddie who doles out advice to linksmen during a 1931 golf tournament. The serious role would be a departure for the comedically slanted action hero. The story is based on Steven Pressfield's 1995 novel of the same name. -=> * <=- The Bruce Willis supernatural thriller The Sixth Sense earned $25.8 million during its debut weekend, beating out the independent powerhouse The Blair Witch Project for the No. 1 spot at the box office. Blair managed a healthy $24.5 million take in what was its second weekend in wide release, finishing No. 2 overall. Blair has now passed the $80 million mark and will likely complete its U.S. domestic run with ticket sales of more than $125 million. Meanwhile, Deep Blue Sea picked up another $11 million, finishing No. 5 at the box office and bringing its 12-day total up to $45.3 million. Mystery Men opened in the No. 6 spot with a modest $10 million, while the critically acclaimed animated SF film The Iron Giant made its bow at No. 9 with a disappointing $5.1 million. Inspector Gadget took in $8.4 million for a seventh place finish, and The Haunting scared up $6.3 million to take the No. 8 position. -=> * <=- Columbia Pictures paid a six-figure sum for the rights to Alien Toy Box, an SF children's film by writer Steven Elkins. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich's company Centropolis will produce the movie, though no director has been set. Elkins' story is centered around a young boy who finds a toy box in his back yard that was left behind by an alien child during a visit to Earth. The discovery of the box leads to a magical encounter for the young Earthling and helps him mend his relationship with his father. The story is described as a science fantasy that blends together elements of E.T. and The Iron Giant. -=> * <=- Terry Castle has announced plans to resurrect her father's horror film studio William Castle Productions. According to Variety, the younger Castle will initially focus her attention on developing films for children as well as on old-fashioned horror movie making. "Dad buzzed over 20 million butts in Tingler, had a skeleton fly above the theater audience's heads in House on Haunted Hill, insured theater attendees against 'death by fright' in Macabre, and introduced the 'fright break' with 'cowards corner' for those afraid to see the end of Homicidal," Castle told Variety. "People don't forget this kind of unique movie-going experience." Terry Castle was formerly an executive at Nickelodeon, and she recently served as co-producer for the Robert Zemeckis remake of her father's 1958 film House on Haunted Hill. -=> * <=- MGM has hired famed director Francis Ford Coppola to try and fix its troubled space-thriller Supernova. Variety reports that Coppola will oversee the re-cutting of the $60 million film from his American Zoetrope studio in California. Directors Geoffrey Wright and Walter Hill have already tried their luck with Supernova, though Hill departed the project shortly after principal photography began. The film stars James Spader, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lou Diamond Philips, Angela Basset and Robert Forster. -=> * <=- Wes Craven was reportedly so impressed with Laeta Kalogridis' rewrite of Scream 3 that he has hired the writer to work on the film adaptation of Craven's SF novel The Fountain Society. Craven plans to direct the picture next year. -=> * <=- Famke Janssen will reportedly play the role of Jean Grey in Bryan Singer's upcoming film The X-Men.

The Steve Martin/Eddie Murphy comedy BOWFINGER (3 stars) debuted in second place, while THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (3 stars - very mixed comments) held onto third place. THIS WEEK: A TEACHER, A MOBSTER, A SOLDIER This Friday's three main openers are TEACHING MRS. TINGLE (PG-13), MICKEY BLUE EYES (PG-13) and UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: THE RETURN (R). TEACHING MRS. TINGLE is a dark comedy from Kevin Williamson, about a nasty teacher (Helen Mirren) and a young woman (Katie Holmes) who schemes against her in order to become class valedictorian. Supposedly pretty funny, in a cruel way. MICKEY BLUE EYES is a romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant as a debonair Englishman who falls in love with a mobster's daughter (Jeanne Tripplehorn). James Caan plays her father. UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: THE RETURN is a Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle, wherein the intrepid martial arts master battles an army led by an evil computer.

This usually strong English student found all of his best efforts met with indifference at best, outright derision at worst by Stover, who often seized every opportunity to humiliate the student in front of the whole class. When called on to do an oral report on a reading assignment, the student only got about two words in before Stover criticized his barely-begun report and asked him to sit down. But that was nothing compared to what came at the end of the school year, when the student's year-ending speech project--which was capped off with a spirited song number that was wholeheartedly embraced and warmly praised by his classmates--was verbally torn to shreds by Stover in front of everyone. That public attack was just a warm-up for a comment Stover made during a subsequent private meeting with the student: "I don't like you." As you can guess, the student in question was yours truly, and while it did take some added effort--and, I'd like to think, guilt on Stover's part--to get an A in that class, I didn't have to resort to anything resembling the over-the-top antics presented in hot scribe Kevin Williamson's directorial debut, _Teaching_Mrs._Tingle_. My own experiences undoubtedly contributed to my enjoyment of this admittedly junky but wickedly watchable revenge fantasy. I immediately identified with the film's protagonist, solid A student Leigh Ann Watson (Katie Holmes), who, in an early scene, presents a much-worked-on project in her history class, only to have her presentation abruptly cut short by vicious barbs hurled by the class's instructor, Mrs. Eve Tingle (Helen Mirren). This scene (and the entire film, for that matter) has been criticized for being grossly exaggerated, and indeed it is, to biting comic effect. But there is a ring of truth--not just for me personally, who knows it is possible for teachers to have unfounded personal grudges against students; but I'm sure for many other people who have had similar, if not overly so, trying experiences with hardass teachers. Williamson sends all basis in reality out the window, however, when the film's main story kicks into gear. After Mrs. Tingle falsely accuses Leigh Ann of cheating, she and her friends Luke Churner (Barry Watson) and Jo Lynn Jordan (Marisa Coughlan) confront Mrs. Tingle at her home. One thing leads to another, and soon Mrs. Tingle is tied to her bed, held prisoner by the three students, who try to reason with her--and teach her an overdue lesson or two. The stage is set for a tense and witty psychological battle between the teens and Tingle, who is as adept at manipulative mind games as she is mean. For a first-time director, Williamson shows great skill working with actors. While Watson is fairly bland as the hunky bad boy, he does share palpable chemistry with the other core three, who make good impressions. Holmes is an instantly likable screen presence, and her calm and poise grounds the film in some level of reality and plays well off of newcomer Coughlan, who has the showier role as the kooky aspiring actress Jo Lynn. The showiest role of them all, of course, is the title character, and Serious Actress Mirren sinks her teeth and then some into this change-of-pace part. Her venomous performance has been criticized as being one-dimensional, but the point of the part is to be an over-the-top, love-to-hate villain, and does she ever succeed at that. That said, one does wish there were more of an explanation of Tingle's wicked ways, or at least a clearer one for her malice toward Leigh Ann; it is implied that she is jealous of her ability and bright prospects, but the implication is a bit too vaguely made and not altogether confirmed. (After all, Mrs. Tingle does have one bright pet student.) _Tingle_ was the first script Williamson ever wrote, and it is indeed the least polished of his heretofore produced works, and his inexperience in the director's chair doesn't serve the more awkward moments well. There are a couple of scenes that establish Leigh Ann's warm relationship with her mother (Lesley Ann Warren) that are not only ridiculously saccharine, but feel completely out of place in what is otherwise a gleefully heartless film. A bit more in line with the tone is Jo Lynn's hyper reenactment of scenes from _The_Exorcist_, and while it is good for a chuckle, the scene is a showstopper of the worst kind, a dead halt in the action; it is also a rather obligatory movie reference, a device worked well--and served a recognizable purpose--in Williamson's _Scream_ films but adds nothing in this context. To borrow an obvious metaphor that has been used--and will surely continue to be used--by detractors of the film, Williamson does, in fact, need to be taught a few more lessons on film direction. But with _Teaching_Mrs._Tingle_, it is evident that Williamson does possess some natural filmmaking ability, and he has already found a distinct voice--something that many more established filmmakers have yet to discover. IN BRIEF _Life_Is_Beautiful_ (PG-13) *** 1/2 ...or, the film formerly known as _La_Vita_Č_Bella_. Back to add a few more dollars in Miramax's till is Roberto Benigni's Oscar-winning Italian-language Holocaust comedy, but in a radically different form--dubbed in English. It sounds like blasphemy, but this shameless attempt to expand the film's audience beyond subtitle-readers works better than it has any reason to be. One major reason for that is the vocal performance of Jonathan Nichols, who actually sounds like he could be Benigni after a battery of English lessons; more importantly, though, he has Benigni's comic rhythms down well enough that all the jokes lose little, if anything, in translation. Not surprisingly, the rest of the voice cast isn't so effective; pity poor Giorgio Cantarini, whose effortlessly charming turn as Benigni's son is made into a typical American cloying child performance by one of those stridently cutesy kiddie voices. The main reason why this version works, though, is what made the original version a **** film: Benigni's funny, emotional, and sensitively handled story of an Italian Jew's noble effort to hide the reality of concentration camp life from his unsuspecting son. Regardless of the spoken language, the original's sweetness and poignance comes through. (opens August 27) _Lucie_Aubrac_ (R) *** The shortcoming of Claude Berri's fact-based, WWII-set French drama is underlined by the title. Although the film is named for Lucie Aubrac (Carole Bouquet), the brave, headstrong woman who tries to free her imprisoned resistance fighter husband Raymond (Daniel Auteuil) by outwitting the Nazis, the film is less about her character than it is her husband's ordeal and her scheme. While this does make for engrossing drama, and the acting is uniformly solid, one cannot help but feel the film would have been more gripping if more was learned about the titular heroine beyond her cunning and resourcefulness. _Mickey_Blue_Eyes_ (PG-13) ** 1/2 The second time is not the charm for either Hugh Grant or Warner Bros., the former trying another romantic comedy for the summer, the latter trying another mob-themed comedy of the year. Grant's British refinement and corresponding self-effacing manner is put to good use as Michael Felgate, a New York auction house manager who hastily proposes marriage to his schoolteacher girlfriend Gina Vitale (Jeanne Tripplehorn) without knowing that her father Frank (James Caan) is a mob boss. Some good laughs are to be had as Michael finds himself increasingly drawn into Frank's shady family business; it's a hoot to watch the prissy Michael try to act the tough guy. The problem is that the film is at its core not a fish-out-of-water comedy, but a romantic one, and the love story is ill-served by all directly involved: director Kelly Makin, scripters Adam Scheinman and Robert Kuhn, and Grant and Tripplehorn, who look nice together but don't exactly generate the necessary warmth and sparks.

With such talent involved, isn't it shocking that Sony didn't screen the film in advance for critics? _When_Love_Comes_ Not a porn film starring Jennifer Love Hewitt (sorry, couldn't resist), but a drama from New Zealand exploring modern romance through three intersecting couples. ~~~ +>V I D E O<+ N E W T H I S W E E K _Analyze_This_ (R) *** Full review in MR#180, 3/4/99; and at: http://www.godamongdirectors.com/mrbrown/movierpt46.html#analyze Buy VHS and DVD at Reel.com: http://www.reel.com/cgi-bin/nph-session.exe?COBRAND=MRBR&OBJECT=moviepage.asp?MMID=44945 Instead of watching _Mickey_Blue_Eyes_, watch WB's earlier, far superior mob-themed comedy, in which mobster Robert DeNiro turns to psychiatrist Billy Crystal for treatment for panic attacks. Surprisingly (or perhaps not), the real comic firecracker of the pair is DeNiro, who gamely sends up his screen image; the film suffers in the end when his character disappears for a while and Crystal's takes over. Nonetheless, a worthy rental. Also starring for director Harold Ramis is Lisa Kudrow, underused as Crystal's newscaster fiancée.

Telling of a wealthy patriarch's (Hennig Moritzen) sixtieth birthday bash thrown wildly awry by his eldest son's (Ulrich Thomsen) shocking--and deadly serious--allegations. The film is terrifically acted and feels remarkably realistic (undoubtedly due to the "Dogme 95" restrictions that the film was made under), but what makes the film so impressive is how carefully Vinterberg walks the fine line between comedy and misery.

Howard eschews the deeper, darker underpinnings of the premise, which were exploited to great effect in _The_Truman_Show_, and the film is comparatively weaker as a result. But that does not discount the light entertainment value of this enterprise, which is an easy watch in its own lighthearted right. The collector's edition DVD boasts an impressive number of extras, ranging from two music videos and a (unfunny) outtake reel to two separate audio commentaries (one by Howard, the other by writers Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel) and 40 minutes (!) worth of deleted scenes. A more in-depth review of the disc will appear in a future issue.

The key word there is "seemed"--watching this dreck again on video, to call it a sitcom would be too much of a compliment. Stephen Baldwin, Claudia Schiffer, Robert Downey Jr., Alison Eastwood, George Newbern, and all else involved should fire their agents for getting them involved in this unwatchable mess.

Especially worth savoring are the performances of the all-star cast, which includes Sean Connery, Gena Rowlands, Gillian Anderson, Jon Stewart, Madeleine Stowe, Anthony Edwards, and Angelina Jolie, who should have copped an Oscar nod for her spunky turn. However, nothing can save the typically balsa wood performance turned in by a blue-haired Ryan Phillippe.

Director Mark Tarlov and writer Judith Roberts actually find their footing, albeit fairly unsteady, in the film's moderately charming second half, but there's plenty of fast forward-worthy nonsense to wade through before it reaches that point.

Armed with your remote, you can bypass the numerous storylines that don't work--two Long Island teens (a grating Gaby Hoffman and a slumming Christina Ricci) lost in the big city; an artist (Brian McCardie) determined to prove his virility; two artist friends (Angela Featherstone and Nicole Parker) out looking for Mr. Right--and zero in on the one truly worthwhile thread (Paul Rudd and Courtney Love as best friends flirting with becoming more) and some noteworthy performances (Ben Affleck's ridiculously square bartender, Martha Plimpton's harried party hostess, Kate Hudson's likable klutz).

(PolyGram Video) N E W O N D V D The awful, often laughable 1994 erotic would-be thriller _Color_of_Night_ (R, *, Hollywood), which is perhaps more famous for stripping bare all that Bruce Willis has to offer than anything actually pertaining to the film's (ludicrous) plot, (misguided) direction, etc... The 1996 musical comedy _Everyone_Says_I_Love_You_ (R, ***, Miramax) is not, as Roger Ebert proclaimed, the best film that Woody Allen has ever made, but it's still a light, enjoyable lark. Among those giving their pipes a workout are Allen, Julia Roberts (ouch!), Edward Norton, Tim Roth, Alan Alda, Goldie Hawn (who is head and shoulders above the rest), _not_ Drew Barrymore (hers is the only voice that is dubbed), and two young divas of summer '99: Natasha Lyonne (_American_Pie_) and Natalie Portman... Last summer's not-so-epic disco docudrama _54_ (R, * 1/2, Miramax) enables teenyboppers to make it a Ryan Phillippe/Miramax doubleheader week with the simultaneous release of _Playing_by_Heart_. This standard edition is of the notorious, post-test-screening-butchered-and-sanitized theatrical release, and not Mark Christopher's drastically different--and far more provocative--original director's cut, which is rumored to be coming to disc in the future... John McTiernan's critically panned 1992 jungle drama _Medicine_Man_ (PG-13, Hollywood), which stars Sean Connery and Lorraine Bracco as scientists researching a cure for cancer... The lavish comic book adaptation _The_Rocketeer_ (PG, ***, Walt Disney), unfortunately remembered as one of 1991's biggest box office disappointments than as the rousing adventure that it is. Bill Campbell, Timothy Dalton, and Jennifer Connelly star... Ang Lee's delightful 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen's _Sense_and_Sensibility_ (PG, *** 1/2, Columbia TriStar), which copped a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for Emma Thompson, who stars as the more reserved of the two Dashwood sisters, who seek romantic fulfillment. Kate Winslet earned her first Oscar nomination (but, alas, didn't win) for her fiery portrayal of the more passionate of the pair. The DVD includes feature-length commentary by Lee, Thompson, producer Lindsay Doran, and co-producer James Schamus; two deleted scenes; and Thompson's lively acceptance speech at the 1996 Golden Globes, where she won the Best Screenplay trophy.

The Goonies --[It's still my fave childhood adventure movie. It can make me smile, and the story is interesting and good too. Wouldn't we all love to find some treasure?!] 2.) Scent of a Woman --[woo hah! My brother and I love the movie, Al Pacino is so great in it, and it has the best tango scene ever!] 3.) And the Band Played On (HBO) --[Whoever thought TV movies could be good? It makes me cry everytime. It's such a great movie covering the AIDS epidemic, although a little dated now. I wish they could add some updates to all the progress! Matthew Modine is great in this one!] 4.) The Little Mermaid --[It's still my fave Disney picture. Great songs, and a cool female lead with some spunk!] 5.) The Usual Suspects --[It has the best ending. Anything I can watch a million times and still think "wait a minute...!" is pretty good. Will keep you wondering.] 6.) Dirty Dancing --[Okay, I know it's bad and predictable, but I love it anyway. ;)] 7.) Amadeus --[Wow, this movie moved me! Must be the musician in me. Beyond being enthralling...for it's very long hours...it made me laugh too. The characters were colorful and the story interesting. And of course the music was classic ;)] 8.) Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom --[Okay, I know it's not supposed to be the best, and likely not the top of the three for most of the watchers of the movies, but this is the one I watched the most and can totally quote. I love the sidekicks, and I still get scared when I see the evil guy grabbing for Indie's heart!! :) ] 9.) The Fugitive --[Another Ford flick?! My mother and I love this one, I guess I think the story is really great, and it's so hard to find good storylines like this! Besides I love Jones too, so it makes it a good package for me.] 10.) Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves --[This probably another "desert island" variety. I've seen this movie more times than I could count probably. Besides getting sucked in whenever HBO would play it, my sis and I both have it on tape, and I used to watch it all the time. I think it's a fun story...obviously if it made the '10' right?] --------------- Okay, I love old movies too, just these are more of my "rewatchables" than anything. And I'm a youngin' so I more influenced by the modern stuff. But my mom and I watch old b/w movies all the time and I think they're cool. But my fave is probably bad 80s flicks! hehe, guilty pleasures, but i'm not too shy to admit it. :) _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

The 24th installment of the festival also unveiled its Masters program Tuesday, which will bring 13 renowned directors to the festival with their latest works. Miramax's "Music of the Heart," directed by Craven with a previous working title of "50 Violins," will receive a gala presentation. The red carpet will also be rolled out for the directorial debut of Australia's Karmel - Sony Pictures Classics' "Me Myself I." Karmel received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for her editing of "Shine." Fine Line Features will offer Warchus' debut feature, "Simpatico," an adaptation of the Sam Shepard play, for a world premiere. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Rapper Busta Rhymes is set to star in Paramount's remake of the 1971 blaxploitation film "Shaft." Starring opposite Samuel L. Jackson, who stars in the film's title role, Rhymes will play Shaft's sidekick Rasaan in the director John Singleton's film. The character was created for the updated "Shaft." Although Rhymes and Singleton worked together on the 1995 release "Higher Learning," "Shaft" marks Rhymes' first significant feature role. Rhymes' solo projects, including "When Disaster Strikes," are among the best-selling rap albums of the past five years. Moving away from just music, Rhymes is in development with fellow rapper Missy Elliott to create a cartoon series. In addition, he introduced a line of shoes last month and is further developing his clothing line.

Granted, I have not seen Deep Blue Sea yet, but many of you may have forgot or maybe are too young to realize what a major impact Jaws had on the beach going public back in the summer of, what was it, '74. Now just because Jaws was one of the scariest movie events ever for that time does not automatically make it a good movie (it does make it a classic, however). But, I urge you all, If you haven't seen Jaws in a long time, take a second look. This movie has staying power!! Not only was the unseen shark (until the ending) a perfect terror, but the acting was great through-out. The directing (remember Steven was new on the scene with this movie, and some of his directing techniques are already evident in Jaws) was pure genius. The musical score was one of the best I've ever heard. The local color you get from a small New England Coast town and it's inhabitants is powerful throughout. The movie comes to a perfect head and conclusion with the Moby Dick like battle with the monster at sea. True, TBS overplays it on TV, but this is a good thing for me, because if there is nothing else on, I'll watch this movie over-and-over again. So, maybe Deep Blue Sea is better then Jaws, and maybe I'll change my mind after I go see it (which I will). But I doubt it.

The DVDs and Videos that rank on my shelf are the ones that break away from that infectious "movie" moniker, and break into the art of "film." My top ten list would include 1. (tie) 2001: a space odyssey and A Clockwork Orange Two classics, great films, they have a lasting power much longer than Jaws. Who can forget Dave Bowman's epic star gate sequence or Alex DeLarge's rape scene of the writer's wife. The peak of Stanley Kubrick's genius. 2. Brazil Terry Gilliam's Orwellian comedy Brazil is a fantastic film, an entertaining and intellectually stimulating masterpiece that continues to amaze me. Not my favorite Gilliam film, but his best. 3. Bottle Rocket Wes Anderson's great film is still more clever than Rushmore and funnier. A touching and wonderful, characters whose personas you want to know first hand 4. 12 Monkeys Terry Gilliam's haunting, scary, and visually amazing film is a sight to behold. It is an esteemed privelage to understand this film. 5. Reservoir Dogs Tarantino's lone masterpiece, a stylized crime noir unself-conscious, and acting and dialogue heavy. A treat, replay value much higher than Pulp Fiction. 6. Rushmore A good old fashioned american comedy, rich in character development and story. A great film, will be remembered. 7. (tie) Seven/The Game David Fincher is next Hitchcock, his rollercoaster performances and haunting stories are great films. A true master-in-the-making. 8. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Hilarious Terry Gilliam-Johnny Depp vehicle is a fun movie to watch, and a great film to behold. 9. (tie) Alien/The Shining Two horror classics from two masters of the film art, capitalize on the unseen and the unkown to draw an audience. 10. The Evil Dead Trilogy] Ironic horror satires unlike any other films out there. Bruce Cambell is the greatest.

Geena Davis, realizing that her next Premiere is likely to be the one on the newsstand between Time and People, has nearly qualified for the Olympic Archery Team. Apparently, she's damned good! Just how does Geena do it? "I picture Renny Harlin's ass surrounded by concentric circles," says Davis, "and I hit the bullseye every time!" Davis adds, "It also works for any sport where I have to kick balls or whack 'em into holes." Mickey Blue Eyes stars Hugh Grant as a Brit auctioneer and guest stars Hugh's wavy hair as "Joey, the wonder-proteins." With ballet-like precision, Joey moves with the wind, adding life to what's lifeless, motion to what's motionless, and more to what's less. And Mickey Blue Eyes is just plain less, folks. From the moment Hugh enters, Joey seems to be waving "Hello," short for "get me the HELL Out of here." Or is Joey waving "goodbye" to the stunning opening weekend grosses that are almost always attached to a movie when the cast stars a gal named Julia? Mickey is directed by Kelly Makin, who made the Kids in the Hall movie Brain Candy. "Brain Candy made me howl," remembers Hugh, who obviously forgot that more folks have flown the space shuttle than have seen Brain Candy, and they had more fun doing it, too. James Caan puts the final nail in the coffin of Sonny Corleone and the Godfather era as a made man and Hugh's father-in-law-to-be. Thank God Fredo never lived to see the day. Although Jimmy's a great comic actor, the plodding plotting is a rote moat of comedy potential unfulfilled. Hey, I'd pull out my hair if it wasn't busy waving flirtatiously at Joey, the wonder-proteins. I suppose the comic highpoint of this flick comes when Mafia so-so Jimmy attempts to teach the A-B-C's of wiseguy lingo to a hopelessly Earl-Grey-prim-and-proper Hugh. Hugh's Brooklyn dialect is so bad - I mean so over-the-top, intentionally bad - I had to cringe. "Get outta Heeeeeee!" says Hugh. "Heeeeeee"? Come on, Hugh. Any high-class Sotheby's wanna-be Brit auctioneer can imitate Brooklyn slang better than that - unless they fancy the "big laugh," that is. And just because you fancy the "big laugh," Hugh, doesn't mean you need to shag it to death! Look for former Rocky brother-in-law Paulie who is virtually unrecognizable as the elder Uncle Vito. Good golly, Paulie has not aged well! Those beef-sides Rock's been slammin' in the freezer are fresher and warmer than ol' Paulie. Somewhere in the great beyond, Burgess Meredith is rollin' out the red carpet for you, Paulie. Mickey Blue Eyes is the latest chapter in that hip new trend, the "Mob Comedy." Okay, it's not exactly a new genre, but it has never been so popular as it is now, what with HBO's The Sopranos sporting an insanely TomHanks-esque number of award nominations and Analyze This being video's "proposition you can't refuse." No, the "Mob Comedy" may not be news, but the "British Auctioneer Comedy" - now that's a fresh trend. And long overdue, if you ask me. After all, there's nothing funnier to an American audience than an art-world comedy. I mean funny "strange," not funny "ha-ha." Hugh and his crew worked on this script for two years, proving that while Rome wasn't built in a day, it wasn't built in two years either. How many weeks were spent on the stuffed monkey saying "I have an opposable thumb"? Stuffed monkeys always add that extra punch to Brit Auctioneer Comedies, don't they? File it under "c" for "contrivance." Forgive me, but after Hugh's winning performance in Notting Hill, it's hard to get excited about a run-of-the-mill Mob Comedy. For funny gangsters, watch HBO. For funny art, pray for another gift from Mike Myers - and soon! Mickey Blue Eyes is enough to make Joey, the wavy wonder-proteins, stand on end. Copyright 1999 Mark Ramsey. All rights reserved.

Many of you might not have heard of the Iron Giant - an animated tale set in the Atomic Age of the late fifties of a child who finds a giant robot and tries to befriend it. The marketing for this film has failed miserably - however the film has not because you can continue the Giant's unanimous streak as the Movieman gives the Iron Giant an 86%. Great animation (not very detailed but well animated - stylish), well written characters and a comfortable storyline make this a fun movie for all ages (but I do hate when critics say 'all ages' - feels like they tack that onto any family film released nowadays - and I don't care what you say - no Olsen twins movie is suitable for 'all ages!' :-).

The supernatural thriller - starring Bruce Willis as a therapist treating a boy who sees dead people - has grossed $107.7 million in three weeks. Different movies had debuted in first place for nine straight weekends since "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" fell to second place in June. The Hollywood satire "Bowfinger," meanwhile, held on to second place this weekend. Starring Steve Martin as a wannabe director who secretly films an action star played by Eddie Murphy, "Bowfinger" earned $10.7 million in its second week for a total of $35.9 million. "Mickey Blue Eyes," a romantic-comedy starring Hugh Grant as a man who discovers his fiancee's father is a mobster, opened in third place with a respectable $10.4 million. However, two other new films debuted in the bottom of the top 10. The Jean-Claude Van Damme sci-fi adventure "Universal Soldier: The Return" opened weakly with $4.7 million for seventh place. "Teaching Mrs. Tingle," a black-comedy about teens who hold their teacher hostage, was hampered by bad reviews and criticism of its violent content. The film earned a paltry $3.5 million for tenth place. "People expected 'Tingle' to do really well, but teens don't want to see any comedy that has a dark theme. They want lighthearted fair or horror films," said Robert Bucksbaum, a movie analyst with Reel Source Inc. He said "The Sixth Sense" has done well because it takes its somber subject matter seriously, yet its PG-13 rating opens it up to a broad audience. "It's getting incredible repeat business," Bucksbaum said. "Nothing else out there is even coming close." The thriller also has a surprise ending that prompted moviegoers to see it multiple times, said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney, which released the film. "Audiences are coming back for the ending," he said, adding that a lot of people want to know "how they got me." The Julia Roberts-Richard Gere romance "Runaway Bride" was fourth with $9.3 million, and "The Blair Witch Project" slipped to fifth place with $7.1 million. The low-budget shocker has grossed $120.5 million, since it opened in wide release four weeks ago, making it one the most successful independent films in history, Bucksbaum said. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Stunt coordinator Remy Julienne has acknowledged responsibility for Monday's fatal accident during a Paris shoot for "Taxi 2," the sequel to the hit French action movie. Driver Gilbert Bataille made a second stunt run up a raised launch ramp, video footage shows, sailed far past a battle tank, overshot boxes positioned to soften his landing and veered toward the camera crew. "Everyone got clear at the last second," police said, "except the cameraman (Alain Dutartre), who kept his eye glued to the viewfinder." Dutartre died of massive injuries. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (AP) - Miramax Films picked the worst possible time - back-to-school season - to release "Teaching Mrs. Tingle," a black comedy about teens who hold their mean-spirited teacher hostage, education groups say. The movie's opening on Friday came just four days after classes resumed at Columbine High School in Colorado for the first time since two students gunned down 12 schoolmates and a teacher and wounded 23 others before killing themselves last spring. "The timing is really unfortunate," said Kathleen Lyons, spokeswoman for the National Education Association. "We find it appalling that Miramax would release a movie about kids hunting down teachers." Miramax did not immediately return phone calls from The Associated Press, but sent a fax detailing the plot and a comment from first-time director Kevin Williamson, who also wrote the horror screenplays, to "Scream" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer." "I hope audiences find this movie to be funny, wicked and incredibly entertaining, but in addition I hope they take away the idea that we have all had bad experiences that can later become assets in life. You can turn the tables," he said. "Mrs. Tingle" stars Helen Mirren as a malevolent teacher who is kidnapped by three students. Originally called "Killing Mrs. Tingle," the movie's title was toned down after the Columbine shootings. The teacher is not killed, although she's injured and several scenes involve a menacing crossbow. Since Columbine, the entertainment industry has faced criticism that the violence in films, television and video games contributes to real-life violence. President Clinton and Congress have appealed to Hollywood to show more restraint.

As a film I thought it a bit disjointed, with scenes peppered in that weren't explained and left you wondering what just happened. and then the ending I could not believe, I can't remember the last time I saw a film where all the leads were killed and the bad guy survived, does this mean we are going to get a sequel? All in all it wasn't even a touch on the Brendan Fraser Mummy film which was a much more enjoyable film, in which you could see that the director went to great lengths to provide a decent finished product ( to me it felt almost like an "Indiana Jones Lite").

I don't know how many people are clamoring for remakes of old tv shows. I don't. I think remaking old TV shows is Hollywood's mistaken attempt to capitalize on nostalgia, as well as forsake the effort it takes to come up with original screenplays. So, we are too big for our britches to expect for some intelligent and original products. In the last few years Mission >Impossible, Lost in Space, and now WWW have all been panned for a >multitude of reasons and yet the critics are all wrong as each of those >movies delivered exactly what they should have. So, they were SUPPOSED to deliver messy screenplays, flat acting, unoriginal stories, and cheesy promotional tie-ins?? Oh, I see. expecting some thought to go into the writing, the acting, and the overall story is wrong. I suppose when the >charlies angel's flick arrives we will all moan because it is so unlike >the original, that is the point isn't it to bring you back to the >carefree days of youth but at the same time they have to entertain the >audience we have become. I agree with this concept wholeheartedly. And, that is exactly what I would expect from such movies. The point most people make in disliking the movies, is that the movies themselves don't entertain. I agree that they should take the original concept, but then they should move on in new or modern directions. Presently, they just take the old concept and try to force in formulaic plot points and glitzy special effects. >could you imagine what LIS and WWW would have >been like if they had stayed true to the original ( and LIS was almost a >carbon copy of the first few episodes of the original series), and used >props and effects that were common at the time. they would have sucked >big banana's. Which I thought they did anyway. >I don't know what people expect, I suppose the Phantom Menace showed that >a lot of the people who claim to be star wars fans really aren't or they >wouldn't have complained about TPM. Now, your Star Wars argument seems to be the main point, but it's kind of like apples and oranges with regards to the first part of your post. Phantom Menace was not a remake. It was a new product, and it attempted to somewhat capitalize on the original Star Wars nostalgia. (So, I do concede that this is the main similarity to your first points) But, I do resent the notion that as a fan of the original trilogy, I should love TPM. I liked it, but I thought it was laden with problems and story conflicts. I do think it was overhyped, and it could have been better. even so, I do look forward to the next two movies, somewhat. I loved it and thought it couldn't >have possibly been any better and look forward to the next two with great >relish. So people who didn't like the movies I"ve listed above are more >likely just vocal fans of the original's rather than true fans who will >accept changes to an already successful formula. I am not a vocal fan of the original MI or Lost in Space. I am indifferent to both. I didn't think very much of either movie, but I did think that they could have been so much better than they actually were. I personally see no problem with changes to the old formulas. That goes back to the earlier point you mentioned. Simply put, I'm just saying that I don't agree with your characterizations of people who don't like these movies.

In the last few years Mission Impossible, Lost in Space, and now WWW have all been panned for a multitude of reasons and yet the critics are all wrong as each of those movies delivered exactly what they should have. I suppose when the charlies angel's flick arrives we will all moan because it is so unlike the original, that is the point isn't it to bring you back to the carefree days of youth but at the same time they have to entertain the audience we have become. could you imagine what LIS and WWW would have been like if they had stayed true to the original ( and LIS was almost a carbon copy of the first few episodes of the original series), and used props and effects that were common at the time. they would have sucked big banana's. I don't know what people expect, I suppose the Phantom Menace showed that a lot of the people who claim to be star wars fans really aren't or they wouldn't have complained about TPM. I loved it and thought it couldn't have possibly been any better and look forward to the next two with great relish. So people who didn't like the movies I"ve listed above are more likely just vocal fans of the original's rather than true fans who will accept changes to an already successful formula.

See, it's funny how opinions differ. I was barely able to keep my lunch thru such dreck as George of the Jungle. (Having not seen The Mummy yet), I have not enjoyed ONE Brendan Fraser comedy (and I use that term loosely) until this one. Granted it is not award-winning or anything, but it is definately better than the other Fraser comedies. Of course, that is really damning with faint praise. And it was nice to see Walken in a different role. He and James Woods seem to have one character that they do very well. This was different for Walken, but you could still see some tell-tale signs of his usual characters. Of course, that's just my opinion.

See, it's funny how opinions differ. I was barely able to keep my lunch thru such dreck as George of the Jungle. (Having not seen The Mummy yet), I have not enjoyed ONE Brendan Fraser comedy (and I use that term loosely) until this one. Granted it is not award-winning or anything, but it is definately better than the other Fraser comedies. Of course, that is really damning with faint praise. And it was nice to see Walken in a different role. He and James Woods seem to have one character that they do very well. This was different for Walken, but you could still see some tell-tale signs of his usual characters. Of course, that's just my opinion.

It will be the North American premiere of the film. Three other films set for gala treatment and North American premieres include Woody Allen's "Sweet and Lowdown," Lasse Hallström's "The Cider House Rules," and Régis Wargnier's "Est-ouest" (East-West). The complete lineup for the festival, which runs Sept. 9-18, will be announced Tuesday in Toronto. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) - Sony Pictures Entertainment's newest family entertainment division is moving into feature films with its first spec purchase, "Danny's Toy," for former Columbia Pictures president Chris Lee. Written by David Lesser from a story by Lesser and Richard Levy, "Toy" is a sci-fi comedy adventure about three aliens who plan to destroy Earth. Upon their arrival, they discover that their spaceship is only a few inches long. Ending up underneath a Christmas tree, they're soon mistaken for a toy by a young boy. Eventually the boy bonds with the aliens as they work together to get the trio back home. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) - "Species" star Natasha Henstridge and Joe Pantoliano have been added to the cast of Newman/Tooley Films indie production "A Better Way To Die" for first-time writer-director Scott Wiper. The production, also starring Wiper, Andre Braugher and Lou Diamond Phillips, tells the story of Boomer, a corrupt ex-cop (Wiper) caught between an FBI agent (Phillips) and a soldier in the Chicago underworld (Braugher), both of whom are searching for a missing federal agent who holds the key to the syndicate's demise. Henstridge will play Boomer's love interest; Pantoliano will play the catalyst who propels Boomer into the dark underbelly of corruption and crime.

I know that this started as an issue on spoilers, but I think Wade's post also brings up another issue ... general information about movies. A prime example would be the recent movie - THE SIXTH SENSE. I have seen it, and I liked it. I thought the performances were solid, especially Haley Joel Osmet who gave a brilliant performance, regardless of age. My main problem is the ad campaign ... and here come the spoilers. They are minor, but as Ward pointed out ... what I some may think is common knowledge may be nuggets of treasure to others. So, with that in mind ..... S P O I for EMPIRE STRIKES BACK L and GONE WITH THE WIND E and THE SIXTH SENSE R S The movie was set up to begin with the uncertainty of young Cole's visions/actions. To know, definitely, from the previews and press that he truly CAN see spirits .... it weakens the tension. It doesn't destroy it completely, but it definitely lessens it in a way. And, made the final moment of Dr. Crowe's realization something I saw coming FAR FAR in advance. I know now that Darth Vader is Luke's father ... but god help anyone if they had told me before the first time I saw EMPIRE. I know now that poor Bonnie Blue Butler dies, but I still want to kill the person that ruined that for me. I imagine what the first viewing of BLAIR WITCH must have been like without anyone knowing anything about it ... the mystery of "is it real, is it staged" floating through their minds. I envy them ... and pity them at the same time. I personally enjoy getting as much advance info as I can, but I seek it out. And I dislike people that spring it on me without my permission, even if they are giving me information that I would have been searching for myself. (I don't say that in reference to the, in my opinion, simple "OOPS" around DEEP BLUE SEA that started all of this, by the way.) Sometime movies are just movies, and sometimes they are mysterious things to be discovered as you go along. I like them both ways, but I don't like it when people make the choice for me. That is all.

Nolan" Subject: [MV] Re: Spoilers Date: 24 Aug 1999 15:54:46 -0700 I just saw THE SIXTH SENSE, and while I knew what it was about in a general sense, I did not know the "surprise" ending in advance. I figured out what was going on about a half-hour into the movie, but this did not spoil it for me, because the movie is about a process, a relationship, and not just a buildup to a punchline. Would I have enjoyed the movie less if someone had told me what is revealed at the end? Yes, because part of the fun is trying to figure out where things are going. Obviously, one person's spoiler is another's "so what?" I think we all knew, going into TITANIC, that the ship sinks. And because we see Rose as a hundred-year-old woman, there's no suspense over whether she'll survive. As for Jack ... well, I don't want to give anything away. Likewise, I doubt that very many people really thought that humanity was going to be wiped out in either ARMAGEDDON or DEEP IMPACT, so revealing "the ending" doesn't spoil either movie. (Not that either is very good to begin with!) Revealing who gets eaten in a shark movie is a bit dicier. It takes the edge off, but it doesn't invalidate the whole movie experience, at least in my opinion. I mean, hey, it's a "sharks on the rampage" movie. You know _someone's_ gonna get chewed up! Other movies like VERTIGO, or THE USUAL SUSPECTS, really lose a lot if you know the ending going in, and anyone who gives it away on purpose is a jerk. So, in my opinion, the best practice is not to reveal anything that isn't common knowledge (the Titanic sank; the Hindenburg blew up; the South lost the Civil War). Talk about the acting, the directing, the production, the dialog, etc. but don't discuss storyline details. That's not too tough, is it?

Imagine knowing things about Usual Suspects or Resevoir Dogs or The Spanish Prisoner or The Game or Presumed Innocent etc... I enjoy when I get to see the movie unfold as the director intended it to - not by getting pieces of information about the movie before it even opens. As far as the Deep Blue Sea goes - a great action flick - I saw it opening night (as I often do to avoid spoilers) and when the aforementioned scene occured the audience was floored!! It was a great time! If I had known that earlier I would have just said - Oh yeah - this scene. Well that's my two cents - or more like eight cents really. let's keep spoilers out and good times in...! -----Original Message----- [mailto:owner-movies@lists.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Josh Pritchard Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 1999 2:51 PM WITH THE WIND & SIXTH SENSE spoilers - minor) >i do have a pet peeve about that kind of thing, though.

And I thought these things only happened to me. For those that don't know, I own a video shop. One day, I had two customers discussing if they had seen this movie, Before and After. The wife says to the husband, "Of course, that's where they find (SPOILER deleted) at the end". Now, I had no desire to see this movie before that, and now it is not necessary to watch it. Still, whenever anyone asks my opinion on that movie, I tell them about how some idiot ruined the movie for me, and that I cannot tell them, as there is absolutely NO REASON for me to watch this movie. And we only hope thru this action to remind people to watch what they say, and where they say it.

I was on an Episode 1 mailing list, before the film opened here in the UK, and the bozo that runs it decided to have a discussion about whether 2 major characters who were killed offf would return in Episode II, this was a good month before the film opened in the UK. Geez, I was freakin' angry. The worse for me was when I was waiting in line to see "The Crying Game" and a couple came out, she turned to her boyfriend and said, "I can't believe she was a ............." (anyone who has seen the film will know). The internet and email are fantastic, revolutionary modes of communication, however, it would be nice to have the ending of a film sneak up on me. Oh well, its the price we pay for loving movies so much. If we HAVE to read as much as possible about upcoming films, then we must expect to lose out a little on the "magic" of surprise!

Check Cinescape Online and Dark Horizons. I have read that the only firm thing is that Ridley Scott is to direct. Aside from that, the script is being finished or rewritten, supposedly by David Mamet. And, Foster is quoted as saying she's not signed but is waiting to see how the script is. From what i've read, the Woods rumor is just a rumor, and I have also heard that he may be playing the part of ass**** justic dept. agent paul krendlar if not verger. But, even he AND gellar are just rumors. Noone has signed, although it would be pointless to proceed without Hopkins and Foster, but the Woods and Gellar rumors have NEVER been cofirmed. >From: MARK >Reply-To: movies@lists.xmission.com >To: movies@lists.xmission.com >Subject: RE: [MV] [Mv]:The 13th Warrior >Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 14:44:32 +0100 > >No, Sarah Michelle Gellar will play the part of Mason Vergers lesbian >sister. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Durham, Lisa [SMTP:Lisa.Durham@hcor.com] > > Sent: 25 August 1999 13:10 > > To: 'movies@lists.xmission.com' > > Subject: RE: [MV] [Mv]:The 13th Warrior > > > > I just read that maybe Sarah Michele Gellar (Buffy) might be up for > > the role > > if > > Foster doesn't sign. > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: shelley bornholdt [SMTP:sowssnort@yahoo.com] > > > Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 1999 10:45 PM > > > To: movies@lists.xmission.com > > > Subject: [MV] [Mv]:The 13th Warrior > > > > > > > > > So is anyone going to see "The 13th Warrior" this > > > opening weekend? > > > > > > I can't waiting for Silence of the Lambs 2!!

Then again the series is similar to the Rambo series in that the first movie: First Blood, wasn't nearly as successful as it's sequel: Rambo: First Blood part II. In fact most people had not seen First Blood till after the success of Rambo 2. If you look at new copies of First Blood, I believe they've relabeled it Rambo: First Blood part I. Anyway, if you didn't know Manhunter was the first in the series, check it out. It was not nearly as good as SOTL, but was still a very good movie: A little Miami Vice'ish thanks to Michael Mann, but that makes it fun too. James Rudy "I can't waiting for Silence of the Lambs 2!!

Oh, I agree that it is off-topic, and although fun (and I did participate), it really doesn't belong. But so do a LOT of other stuff that is allowed: TYPING IN ALL CAPS. Quoting the ENTIRE bloody message(s) to add one line (me-too posts) Virus warnings, hoaxes, and other TRUE SPAM. Flame wars in general. Yet these (and many others) are allowed, with nary a complaint from the same people that (justifiably) have spoken up about this. I try to keep my opinions to myself (as many of the offenders REFUSE to realise when they are way out of bounds), because in the past flame wars have developed. As a matter of fact, I have seen people attacked by other listmembers for attempts to enforce Netiquette. So, in the Grand Scheme of Things (tm), this was a minor breach of proticol, and not nearly as bad as some transgressions that have been let go (besides, it was a bit of fun). And having said that, there are many, many lists where behaviour is even worse (for example, on one list the MODERATOR himself is in the habit of making me-too posts).

The state Parks and Recreation Board rejected a request from the producers of "Mission: Impossible 2" to film a parachute drop off the redrock promontory overlooking the Colorado River. Paramount is urging the state to change its mind. Filming at Dead Horse Point is set for October. The movie stars Tom Cruise and Anthony Hopkins and is directed by John Woo. -=> * <=- (UltimateTV.com) - What do Bill Murray and George Clooney have in common? Besides their devilish good looks, the two actors are both rumored to starring in retro flicks based on 1970's crime dramas. According to reports by the BBC, Clooney is set to star in a big-screen version of the '70s cop show "Starsky and Hutch." The former "ER" hunk will play Starsky - originally played by Paul Michael Glaser - in the big-screen remake. Murray meanwhile, will join screen sirens Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz in the upcoming big-screen version of "Charlie's Angels." No, he won't be playing the third Angel. Murray will play Charlie's right hand man Bosley. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Kate Hudson has signed on to star opposite Richard Gere and Helen Hunt in Robert Altman's romantic comedy "Dr. T and the Women." Shooting begins Nov. 15 on location in Texas. In the story of a gynecologist (Gere) in the throes of a midlife crisis and the women in his life, Hudson will star as one of Gere's daughters, a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader who is planning her wedding. Liv Tyler and Tara Reid will play Gere's other daughters in the story. Written by Anne Rapp, "Dr. T" is co-financed by Initial Entertainment. Altman will also produce the film along with James McLindon. Hudson is shooting Cameron Crowe's untitled DreamWorks project. She next stars in Warner Bros.' "Gossip" and Miramax's "All About Adam." Her other credits include "200 Cigarettes" and "Desert Blue." -=> * <=- NEW YORK (Billboard) - Michael Madsen and Chad McQueen will star with Daniel Baldwin in Baldwin's directorial debut "Fall." The film, which began shooting this week in Toronto, stars Madsen as an FBI agent in a witness protection program to escape a mobster against whom he testified. But the mobster hires a hit man team of two brothers (McQueen and Baldwin) to go after the former agent who put him behind bars. The script is by Ken August. Baldwin, who played two seasons on NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Street," also starred in "Bodily Harm," "Mulholland Falls" and "John Carpenter's Vampires." -=> * <=- COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - Eccentric filmmaker Lars von Trier has demanded that his widely acclaimed movie "The Idiots" be withdrawn from theaters. The offense? Executive producer Peter Aalbaek Jensen's decision to use artificial lighting without telling the director - an "unforgivable" transgression, von Trier said in a statement. "I plead guilty. I have been unfaithful to Lars," Aalbaek Jensen said. "Otherwise it would have been impossible to see what was happening." He added that the movie would not be withdrawn from theaters. In 1995, three Danish directors - von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg and Soeren Kragh-Jacobsen - wrote the "Dogma Manifesto" in which they vowed to respect certain minimalist production techniques. The trio have won international prizes for their films. Vinterberg's "The Celebration," about incest and suicide in a family, won the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1998. Von Trier's works include "Europa" and "Breaking the Waves." "The Idiots" is a provocative film about middle-class misfits feigning mental retardation to mock modern society. It was made in 1998 - ostensibly without props, lighting or special effects. In his statement, von Trier said he intended to launch "a version (of the film) which is 100% controlled by me. The movie opened across Europe last year. Aalbaek Jensen said he told von Trier that new copies would not be altered, including the ones to be sent to the United States. "The Idiots" is scheduled to open in selected U.S. theaters in coming months. -=> * <=- WASHINGTON (AP) - Screenwriter and playwright Norman Wexler, whose work included "Saturday Night Fever" and "Serpico," has died at 73. Wexler died after suffering a heart attack at his home. He died Monday, according to the membership office of the Writers Guild of America. The Harvard College graduate wrote movies and plays that exposed life's grit. In 1970, he earned his first Oscar nomination for the movie "Joe," starring Susan Sarandon and Peter Boyle, about a racist factory worker and his search for a businessman's hippie daughter. That movie also brought him a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) - All-time records continued to crumble as "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" moved into new markets in Europe over the weekend. The George Lucas prequel captured $12.4 million in Germany at 1,001 screens (the largest number ever assembled), $4.3 million in Spain at 352 screens, $1.3 million in Austria at 110 screens, $932,403 in Denmark at 66 screens, and $1.6 million in Sweden at 100 screens, all establishing the best opening marks ever in their respective territories. Only Norway failed to join the history-making event, although it welcomed "Phantom" as No. 1 in the market with $889,637 at 73 screens, second only to the bow of "Independence Day." All in all, the 20th Century Fox phenomenon took in $26.3 million over the weekend from 3,302 screens in 27 countries, raising the international cume to a gigantic $271.7 million. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) - "Varsity Blues" director Brian Robbins is in final negotiations to helm New Regency Prod.'s romantic comedy "First Daughter," targeted to begin shooting in the spring. In addition, Rob Thomas was hired to rewrite the script penned by Jerry O'Connell ("Scream 2," "Jerry Maguire"), who will co-star in the film. "Daughter" tells the story of a president's college-age daughter who insists on attending school without being flanked by Secret Service agents. The government agrees, on the surface, and hires a young-looking agent (O'Connell) to enroll in the school and secretly keep an eye on her. Things take a turn when the two fall in love and his real identity is revealed. -=> * <=- PARIS (The Hollywood Reporter) - Announcing the final lineup for the 25th Deauville Festival du Cinema Americain, organizers on Monday named Martin Duffy's "The Bumblebee Flies Anyway" as the 10th independent U.S. film rounding out this year's competition slate.

Nolan" Subject: [MV] "THE MUSE" TOPS THIS WEEK'S LIST OF NEW RELEASES Date: 26 Aug 1999 15:54:55 -0700 "THE MUSE" TOPS THIS WEEK'S LIST OF NEW RELEASES THE MUSE (PG-13), a wry comedy by Albert Brooks about a gorgeous woman (Sharon Stone) who inspires various Hollywood writers and producers to do their best work, has the best advance notices of five new movies making their debut this week. Also opening Friday are THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE (R), DUDLEY DO-RIGHT (PG), IN TOO DEEP (R) and THE 13th WARRIOR (PG-13). THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE is a sci-fi horror/thriller about -- can you guess? -- the pregnant wife of an astronaut who starts to suspect that hubby may be an alien. Charlize Theron and Johnny Depp star. DUDLEY-DO RIGHT is a live-action adaptation of the old Jay Ward cartoon series about a none-too-bright Canadian Mountie. Brendan Fraser, who played another of Ward's cartoon characters, George of the Jungle, has the lead role. THE 13TH WARRIOR is a fantasy/ horror advenure starring Antonio Banderas as an Arab exile who joins some 10th-century Vikings to battle a race of flesh-eating monsters. And if you'd prefer to watch someone battle mobsters, rather than monsters, there's IN TOO DEEP-- yet another urban crime drama, with Omar Epps in the tough-cop role.

Date: 27 Aug 1999 09:19:11 -0700 Good lord people, over the last week I don't think I recall more than four emails on this list that actually had a reason to be sent. There's hundreds, maybe thousands of folks on this list, so have a good think about what you have to say before you send it to the list. "That is very interesting" is a pointless thing to send to my inbox. As is "I'm going to see a movie tonight, I'll tell you how it is when I get back." See the damn movie by all means, but why would I care that you're going to? Tell us how it was once you've seen it, but your evening plans mean nothing to me. And the ultimate irony would have to be the two dozen emails about whether one pop quiz mail should be allowed on the list. Think about it, people.

Here's what I know: I'm pretty sure it had Ned Beatty in it It's a 70's movie It was about the government covering up a chemical / nerve gas lab by saying that UFO's were mutilating the cattle in the area. Ned Beatty is about to tell the press about it (or something like that) and somebody sneaks into his house in the middle of the night and puts a drop of nerve toxin in the bristles of his tooth brush. The next day he's riding along with somebody (a reporter I believe) and he's really sick and he gets out of the car just as his stomach explodes out, spilling his intestines and guts all over the ground. What was this movie's name, who's in it, and what's it completely about????????

"Universal Solider: The Return," the supposed "comeback" of troubled action hero Jean-Claude van Damme, has won the dubious title of Most Hated film to appear in InfoBeat's Flicks Picks movie poll. "Hate" was the verb of choice for a whopping 73% of respondents to the poll of films released Aug. 20. "Would have been a zero, or less, but it wasn't offered," one reader stated about trying to fit the movie onto the 1-to-5 scale. Another reader stated: "The way I figure if something isn't good the first time around, it should not be put back out with a new script." Even people who knew what they were getting into couldn't be completely positive about the film: "The movie was decent, good action scenes, only the ending was a complete and total disappointment!" Another 10% of readers found the film "below average," while only 9% found the film "above average" or "great." And our readers didn't stop by just dissing van Damme: "Teaching Mrs. Tingle," the directorial debut of well-liked scribe Kevin Williamson, earned poor grades mostly for its timing and subject matter - school-related violence as classes began. "Totally disgusting...shame on Miramax for funding such a violent and trite piece of crap and for releasing it when it did!! Ugh." Twenty-five percent of respondents hated this one, too, while another 20% merely disliked the tale with veteran Helen Mirren and teen-appeal Katie Holmes and Barry Watson. "Helen Mirren's performance is good, but not enough to compensate for the poor story. Probably why they had to have Mirren tied to a bed for most of the movie or she would have left. My movie companion did, and I should have." Some 17% thought the film was "great," but for the most part, even positive comments found flaw in the film or, at least, it's
