LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
ustin's annual SXSW festival is getting ready to hit full stride. This week we explore some of the Interactive happenings. Philip Glass' "Monsters of Grace" showcases his minimalist brilliance. "Home Page," the brainchild of Doug Block, explores how the Internet and World Wide Web are being leveraged
by many to enhance their personal and social lives. The book "Burn Rate" takes a look at the Internet's ebb and flow from a guy who's on the inside. The 10 year old smash hit computer game Wing Commander is making the move to the big screen as the result
of the grand vision of its creator, Chris Roberts. Find out how
that leap takes place.
Reviews this week include "200 Cigarettes" (from Tucson Weekly and Memphis Flyer), "8 MM" (from Nashville Scene and Memphis Flyer) "Affliction," "Cruel Intentions," "The Last Days," "My Name is Joe," and more in Mini-Reviews.
Video & TV this week spins the dial past "Zoom," a documentary on Kurt Cobain, the "B" movies of actor/football
player Fred Williamson, and general TV nonsense.
