LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
he summer movie crop promises visions of space, action, heros, crime, drama, animation, and stuff for kids. You're bound to find something to get excited about in our Summer 2000 cinema preview.
The latest film from Joel and Ethan Coen is "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", an episodic yarn that borrows from Homer's Odyssey and features escaped convicts on a seriocomic journey through 1930s Mississippi, a flight that includes brushes with bluesmen, bigots, gangsters, crooked politicians, and seductive sirens.
Disney's "Dinosaur" roared into the nation's movie houses this weekend, staking claim to first place at the box office. How well does triumphant animation merge with cartoon voices and a slim story line? Read for yourself!
Also, reviews of Woody Allen's new "Small Time Crooks," the latest from Michelangelo Antonioni, the expats-in-Italy drama of "Up at the Villa," the videos of Chris Elliot, and more.
