LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
he winner of the Taos Talking Pictures Film Festival gets an unusual prize: five acres of mountaintop land in the New Mexico countryside. Though well-attended by representatives from film industry and national media, the Festival draws its strongest base of support from Taos locals.
Though Tucson Weekly reviewer James DiGiovanna finds it difficult to describe Jim Jarmusch's new film, "Ghost Dog," he know it's one of the most consistently entertaining films you're likely to see, even though there's almost no variation in mood.
Once the exclusive province of technophiles, DVD players are affordable enough to start whispering softly from the shelves. But where do you start shopping for what to play in them?
Also, the independent movie scene in Memphis, Stanley Tucci reveals "Joe Gould's Secret," a slam dunk for "Love and Basketball," and more.
