LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
he Iron Giant," a take on the classic fairy tale about the lonely boy who finds the perfect friend, is one of the best, coolest animated features of the year, if not the decade, according to our critics. We've also got interviews with the film's screenwriter and director.
"Mystery Men," a snappy, slaphappy, utterly bizarre adaptation of Bob Burden's Dark Horse comic book, is gleefully, goofily over-the-top. And William H. Macy stars as one of the collection of oddball heroes.
A Web site offers dozens of examples of how a good television series can be fatally wounded by a single episode.
Plus, reviews of "The Thomas Crown Affair" remake, "Dick," Hispanic complaints about TV, and more.
