LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
irector Alison Maclean joins writer Denis Johnson in translating Johnson's collection of bottom-scraping, darkly comical short stories, "Jesus' Son," into a movie. The results: a fluid, character-driven narrative that's not for all tastes.
Paul Schrader is less the angry man that his reputation would suggest than a serious craftsman who's simply not allowed to practice his trade the way he'd like.
So should you see Mel Gibson's new Revolutionary War action flick "The Patriot"? Our opposing reviews this week may help you make up your mind. Then again, they may not.
Also, a byzantine and supremely zany Japanese caper movie, new Latino presence on the small screen, and more.
