February 15 - February 22, 1999
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
el Gibson is plugging his enemies full of holes in his latest
film "Payback." Tucson Weekly's James DiGiovanna
gives the film its dues for being campy and clichéd to
the point of hilarity, while Memphis Flyer's Debbie Gilbert
doesn't find the movie particularly enjoyable. Chicago Newcity's Ray Pride chats with Mel Gibson about the film's style and substance in "Sado Melochism."
Also reviewed this week: "Blast From the Past" (from
Weekly Alibi, Austin Chronicle); "Central Station" (from Weekly Alibi, Austin Chronicle); "Hilary and Jackie," a quick look at "Payback," and teen films; "My Favorite Martian;" "Message in a Bottle;" "Simply Irresistible;" and "Like It Is."
Ray Pride chats with "Rushmore's" Wes Anderson, plus looks at television from Weekly Alibi and Austin Chronicle,
reviews of recently released videos, and more in Mini-Reviews.
