LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
ir Alec Guinness made himself at home in movies in a way that the others of his generation, perhaps, never sought to do.
After her work on "Fight Club," Katherine Jones founded Milkshake Media, a company specializing in strategic creative and design projects, including the occasional film, such as "The Cell," which is poised to be another summer blockbuster.
The Original Kings of Comedy, in true Spike Lee fashion, thrusts this comedy showcase into the spotlight of the media eye, positioning it into a place in which it cannot be ignored.
Also, John Waters' latest attempt to rally crowds against cinema's mass distribution of mediocrity, Richard Gere and Winona Ryder do the May-December thing in New York, and more.
