Volume II, Issue 8
August 17 - August 24, 1998
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
e can still squeeze a little life out of the Summer Movie
blitzkrieg although things are admittedly winding down. No "blockbusters"
this week, but some good stuff, nonetheless...
Brian DePalma's been a major force since the '70s with films
such as "Carrie," "Sisters," "Blow Out,"
"Body Double," "Scarface," "The Untouchables,"
and now he's back with "Snake Eyes." The Memphis
Flyer's Chris Herrington examines DePalma's work in "The
Life of Brian."
Meanwhile over in Austin, get an Asian-American woman's take
on "Mulan." Jennifer Gin Lee seems to be of two minds
on Disney's new animated feature. Get the full story in "Mulan
& Me."
"The Opposite of Sex" has been getting lots of
favorable critical press. Well, in "Opposites Detract,"
Jesse Fox Mayshark of the Metro Pulse begs to differ. Give
it a look.
You can also check out reviews on "Halloween H20,"
"The Governess," and "Henry Fool," as well as interviews covering "Return to Paradise" and "The Decline of Western Civilization Pt. 3."
Be sure not to miss "Psychic Movie Predictions." It's a good one!
