LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
apitalizing on our rapidly dwindling attention spans and increasing need for distraction, web sites featuring short films help fill the void left when desktop solitaire becomes just too tedious to stomach.
"The Virgin Suicides," directed by Sophia Coppola, is a stylish, intoxicating debut, and at its root is a profound sympathy for what it means to be an adolescent.
"Gladiator" is a brawny throwback to movie epics of yore that's pumped up with special effects which both help and hurt the cause.
Also, reviews of the new Flintstones movie, "Frequency," "Set Me Free," and more.
