Volume III, Issue 4
July 19 - July 26, 1999
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
ore than midway through 1999, and all those dollars spent, and Hollywood has managed to deliver only one genuinely fine release. It's shaping up to be a bad year for film.
The story of the creation of Sanchez and Myrick's indescribably creepy film "The Blair Witch Project" is at least as interesting as the movie's actual storyline, which our critics find an "immersion into primal, first-person terror" and "truly horrifying and disturbing."
The big opener this past weekend was Stanley Kubrick's final film, the eagerly-anticipated "Eyes Wide Shut," which says more about how we love today than any movie or novel that comes to mind and is a chilling meditation on skewed relationships and interior beasts.
Plus paying for premium cable, "That '70s Show," and reviews of "Lake Placid," "Arlington Road," and "Pariah," and more.
